Mike Brown · compliance at the scale where it's life and death
Executive Vice President and Chief Legal and Compliance Officer at Dexcom, the San Diego company whose glucose monitors sit on millions of bodies. Compliance at that scale isn't paperwork; it's the product working every time.
Who he is
The compliance chief of San Diego medtech
SideGuy spends its days in the small end of the same pool: helping San Diego founders get through SOC 2, HIPAA, and their first security questionnaires. The view from the top of that world, where compliance covers FDA, privacy, and a device on millions of bodies, is one most local founders never get to hear. This page exists because that perspective is worth pointing at.
What a SideGuy does for Mike
Why a compliance-lane operator is putting this page up
- The view from scale — Every SD health-tech founder sweating their first HIPAA audit is building toward the world Mike already runs. What the top of the mountain knows is worth surfacing.
- San Diego's compliance community — Medtech, biotech, and health SaaS make compliance a San Diego industry, not a checkbox. The people carrying it should be visible to each other.
- The honest layer — SideGuy's compliance work is operator-honest: real answers about SOC 2 and HIPAA for small teams. Pages like this one keep the local map honest too.
Mike, you run compliance where the stakes are measured in patient safety.
SideGuy works the other end of the same street: San Diego founders facing their first questionnaire. Same discipline, different altitude. Respect from the small end.
