What can I help you with?

Hi there! I help organisations protect their data and provide the assurance that stakeholders and clients want to see.

With over 20 years of experience working across different sectors, organisation sizes and cultures, I've developed a keen understanding of what works and what doesn't.

Having been in the trenches and seen many skeletons, I pride myself on offering practical, efficient advice rather than box-ticking or academic theory to get your house in order.

Key services

Fractional / Virtual CISO

I'm here to strengthen your leadership team with expert skills, exactly where and when you need them. Whether it's supporting another executive, adding more accountability, enhancing security practices, or establishing and running a security improvement programme - I've got you covered.

Not quite sure about the difference? Have a look at CISO vs vCISO vs fractional CISO.

Cybersecurity lead

I'm here to help build your cybersecurity team and enhance your security practices. This typically includes:

  • Secure DevOps practices (DevSecOps)
  • SOC / Operational security
  • Vulnerability and patch management
  • Incident response
  • Application security

Project-based

I'm also happy to help with project-based work, such as:

  • Solution architecture and implementation
  • Security assessment/audit
  • Compliance (Essential 8, ISO-27001, SOC2, PCI-DSS…)

Typical engagement

Here's how we usually work together (though this can vary based on your needs):

  1. We'll have a friendly chat about your business goals, risk appetite, concerns, legal landscape, etc.
  2. I'll assess your current posture and identify any areas for improvement.
  3. Together, we'll develop a plan addressing people, process and technology needs.
  4. We'll fine-tune the plan based on your priorities and available resources.
  5. Then we'll make it happen - I'm happy to be as hands-on as you need.

This typically involves working alongside your board and executive team, sometimes leading the security team, while maintaining a supportive, hands-on approach with both business and technical teams.
