A data breach can feel like a body blow.
But it doesn’t have to when your team is prepared.
I help you to protect your business and to build an effective cybersecurity function.
I spent the last 17 years working for 50+ companies. I have seen what works and what doesn’t. I can guide your business to find the right path.
My services
Interim CISO / Head of Cybersecurity
For your business, I can design and implement a tailored Cybersecurity Target Operating Model that most appropriately meets your needs. I build effective teams with a service-focused mindset that work collaboratively and provide value to your organisation. I ensure the cybersecurity function is equipped with the right technologies, operational processes, skills and vision to be successful.
Typically 12-24 months
CISO’s right hand / Programme Lead
For your business, I can build or restructure bespoke cybersecurity capabilities that comprise multiple cybersecurity domains and complex, independently operating parts. E.g., secure your digital transformation and development lifecycle, secure your cloud transformation and architecture, revamp your cyber risk function and framework, enhance your security operations by increasing your visibility, tooling and readiness to defend.
Typically 6-18 months
Delivery Lead / Project Manager
For your business, I can solve a particular challenge with a tailored solution. E.g., provide guidance in regulator relations, assist in an audit scenario, help you make a compelling case for cybersecurity to the board, help you select the right Managed Service Partner (MSP), train your team or organisation.
Typically 3-9 months
Assessment & Roadmap
For your business, I can assess its current cybersecurity maturity against industry and regulatory standards. I deliver you a compelling report with real-world recommendations and a realistic roadmap ready for board consumption and implementable by practitioners.
