Richard is very professional and always communicates well. He was always available for questions.

Working on this project with EIDR has been an incredibly valuable experience. As a student, I learned a lot about how cybersecurity documentation is structured and why it's so important for compliance and operational security. I got hands-on experience drafting and reviewing policies, justifications, and technical guidelines aligned with frameworks like the Trusted Partner Network (TPN). Before this project, I didn’t realize how detailed and interconnected cybersecurity documentation can be, from patch management and incident response to zero trust and cloud service policies. Being part of this process gave me a better understanding of how organizations protect themselves and prove compliance through clear, consistent documentation. Overall, I’m thankful for the opportunity and support from the team, especially Richard. This project has definitely helped me build real-world skills I’ll carry forward in my IT and cybersecurity career.

Working with EIDR was an excellent experience. Richard provided clear direction and valuable feedback throughout the project. The work was meaningful and aligned well with real-world cybersecurity policy development. I appreciated the opportunity to contribute to a mission-driven organization and would highly recommend this experience to other cybersecurity students.

I thoroughly enjoyed my internship at EIDR. This experience allowed me to apply my policy knowledge to a real organization that needed support in achieving compliance with security procedures. Through this opportunity, I gained a deeper understanding of the compliance side of cybersecurity Richard was an outstanding mentor—he was always available to answer my questions and hosted weekly meetings to keep the team updated. Starting at a new company and learning its operations and priorities took some adjustment, but after a few weeks, I was able to gain traction and make meaningful progress. One of the highlights of the internship was the collaborative use of Google Docs, which enabled me to receive immediate feedback and iterate quickly on my work. Overall, this internship strengthened my skills in Governance, Risk and Compliance. I am grateful for the opportunity and feel that it has prepared me well for future challenges in cybersecurity

Very professional and good communication with the students and instructors.
