Jill Fraser

Jill Fraser joined OIT as the Senior Director of Security Operations in January 2023, was appointed interim Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) in September 2023, and then was named the state's CISO in February 2024.

Before coming to the state, Jill served as the Chief Information Security Officer for Jefferson County for nearly 11 years. She was responsible for managing the county’s enterprise cybersecurity program, which included policy and procedure guidance, continuous improvement of incident response capabilities, end-user awareness training and risk management. Jill concentrated on ensuring the county’s security program was a business enabler by maintaining a sound cybersecurity strategy that supported productivity, growth and innovation.

Believing we are only as successful as the relationships we foster, Jill advocates for cross-organizational collaboration and the development of programs that improve the collective ability of governments to secure their data and services. Her work was instrumental in creating Colorado’s Whole of State Cyber Effort in 2018, which is focused on reducing the time, talent and resources needed for local governments and critical infrastructure partners to build and maintain strong cybersecurity programs that improve the overall strength of our state’s ecosystem.

A graduate of Hanover College, Jill has been in the information technology field for more than 20 years. She is a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and Certified Chief Information Security Officer (C-CISO).
