Art Chaisiriwatanasai is the Chief Information Security Officer of Paylocity.

Career path

Paylocity's own leadership materials list Chaisiriwatanasai as Chief Information Security Officer, a title also confirmed in his Bloomberg profile entry for Paylocity Holding Corp.

He has spent 18 years working in cybersecurity, moving between industry positions and consulting roles before taking on the CISO function at Paylocity.

His CISO role sits within a broader executive structure at Paylocity that includes a President & Chief Executive Officer and an Executive Chairman of the Board, roles listed alongside his on the company's leadership page.

That same leadership page also lists a Senior Vice President of Sales as part of the executive team Chaisiriwatanasai's security function works alongside.

Paylocity's investor-facing management page similarly places the Chief Information Security Officer function within a management roster that includes a President and Chief Executive Officer, a Senior Vice President of Product and Technology, and a Senior Vice President of Operations.

That page also lists an Executive Chairman of the Board among the company's senior leadership.

Remit as CISO

In describing the mandate of his team, Chaisiriwatanasai has framed the job as protecting the data entrusted to Paylocity by its customers and workforce.

"As Chief Information Security Officer, the ultimate goal of my team is to keep the private information of our many customers and employees safe from undue harm or access," Chaisiriwatanasai has said.

He has also described his role as one that requires coordination across most areas of the business, pairing security oversight with the pace of innovation the company relies on.

By his own account, the work draws on curiosity to find a workable balance between managing digital risk and letting operating teams move quickly.

He has pointed to Paylocity's position as a market leader as the backdrop against which that balance between risk management and innovation is struck.
