Under his leadership, ADP’s Global Security Organization has made significant strides in promoting and bringing awareness of security and privacy to the entire ADP organization and their millions of clients around the world. His vision included the creation of global councils that bring together thought leaders and stakeholders from various business units and divisions of the company, as well as clients, to address critical security issues and risks such as fraud, healthcare information, physical data management and global data privacy. He has successfully launched international security operations across the globe at ADP, including an expanded network of Critical Incident Response Centers, Security Centers of Excellence, and the reformatting of the organization and integration into ADP’s global business operations.

Cloutier told Security magazine: "The RSA Conference’s Excellence in Information Security Award is a testament to the incredible work that ADP security, risk, and privacy practitioners deliver every day to our clients and end users across the globe. Innovation, urgency, and excellence are embedded into the fabric of our business. Our focus on business operations protection advancements has transformed our approach from supporting the business to driving our business. I couldn’t be more proud of the ADP team."
