About the Diagnostics Platform
The Diagnostics Platform is one of Danaher’s three global platforms, uniting a portfolio of leading operating companies whose work sits at the point of clinical decision — from the emergency room and intensive care unit to the pathology lab, the core hospital laboratory, the molecular diagnostics workstation, and the patient bedside. The technologies developed and delivered by these operating companies help clinicians detect cancer earlier, identify and manage infectious diseases ranging from tuberculosis and HIV to sepsis and respiratory infections, monitor critically ill and vulnerable patients continuously, and make faster, more confident decisions when time and accuracy save lives.
The platform has a global presence, with operating companies serving hospitals, clinical laboratories, and point-of-care settings on six continents. Its products are highly regulated connected medical devices and in vitro diagnostics (IVD) directly involved in acute-care and life-critical clinical decisions — making cybersecurity a patient-safety, regulatory, and brand-trust priority for the platform.
The Platform Information Security Officer (PISO), Diagnostics Platform is responsible for end-to-end cybersecurity execution across all operating companies (OpCos) within the Diagnostics Platform globally. As part of Danaher’s global information security operating model — six central DIS Global Services pillars and identically structured DIS Platform Security Teams under each platform — this leader is the platform’s senior-most cybersecurity executive and the operational counterpart to the Global CISO across a global conglomerate of OpCos.
The PISO enforces enterprise cyber standards across the Diagnostics OpCos, drives continuous improvement, and adapts the global program to the unique security needs of each OpCo’s connected medical devices, clinical customers, regulatory obligations (including FDA premarket and postmarket medical device cybersecurity, EU IVDR, and IEC 81001-5-1 / IEC 62443), and manufacturing footprint.
This position reports to the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) and is part of the Global Information Security organization, located in Washington, D.C. and will be a remote role, with regular global travel required to Diagnostics OpCo sites.
