My name is Adam Buenz. I am a SharePoint consultant that has focused on SharePoint security and .NET development for about 6 years now. I run a small consulting firm that does secure SharePoint deployments revolving around ISA, MIIS, and DPM as sister server platforms, as well as custom development for stood SharePoint instances. I work primarily for the United States Air Force, however have been involved in most branches of the government in several different deployments, including the United States Navy and the United States Marine Core. I have also been involved with SharePoint deployments at a variety of federally sponsored federal agencies spanning various verticals. Besides the federal sector, I have done secure deployments and development for sensitive and regulation sponsored agencies, mostly in the financial and health care industry. The private sector regulations I am most familiar with are:

- Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX Compliance)
- Healthcare Services (HIPAA)
- California Senate Bill No. 1386
- NERC Cyber Security Standards
- Financial Services (GLBA)
- Visa Cardholder Information Security Program
- MasterCard Site Data Protection Program
- American Express Data Security Standard

Securing SharePoint is a fascinating field since it encompasses so many integrated technologies, such as ASP.NET, IIS, and SQL server. Having written general security and vulnerability assessment tools, I tend to play both the role of an external network assessment engineer as well as general software developer. I enjoy doing general C# / ASP.NET / SharePoint development, and I enjoy architecting SharePoint environments.

I run the main sharepointsecurity.com site, where I post a variety of SharePoint, ISA, DPM, and general technology articles. I also post several articles on the SharePoint Shelter blog relating to current side projects that I have going on, as well as some of my general findings about features that I find in intriguing.

I am always interested in what people are reading about. If you want to see a particular article, just let me know through the main contact page on the sharepointsecurity.com website.
