๐Ÿ”’ You need security that actually works โ€” not a report that says it does. The organisations I work with want to find the vulnerabilities that matter, fix them with confidence, and get on with growing their business without security becoming the thing that stops them. I have delivered over 1,000 commercial penetration tests across 27 years. Not side projects. Not internal assessments. Full mission-critical engagements for high street and investment banks, hedge funds, insurance firms, government departments, police, military, national infrastructure, retailers, law firms, airports and more. I led the security architecture for the Athens 2004 Olympics internet-facing systems. I was lead architect on the UK Cyber Essentials scheme at launch. I have published in commercial security press and guest lectured at universities. There is a difference between someone who does penetration testing and someone who has seen every flavour of environment, every attack pattern, and every way organisations deceive themselves about their security posture. That difference is what you are hiring. ๐ŸŽฏ Where can I help: ๐Ÿ—ก๏ธ Network & Infrastructure Penetration Testing โ€” adversarial testing of internal and external infrastructure, finding exploitable exposures before an attacker does. ๐ŸŒ Application Penetration Testing โ€” web application and API security testing against real attack patterns: authentication, authorisation, input handling and business logic flaws. โ˜๏ธ Microsoft 365 Security Assessment โ€” Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, Intune, DLP, sensitivity labelling, Exchange Online and Defender for Office 365. ๐Ÿ”ท Azure Security Assessment โ€” identity and access management, network controls, storage and key management, Defender for Cloud posture, and monitoring coverage. ๐ŸŸข Google Workspace, GCP & AWS Security Assessments โ€” configuration and access control assessments across Google and Amazon cloud environments. ๐Ÿ›๏ธ Security Architecture and Risk Advisory โ€” senior technical input on architecture decisions, control design and risk without a full engagement commitment. ๐Ÿ‘ค Every engagement is delivered directly by me โ€” David Morgan, founder of Metis Security. No account management layer, no junior handoffs, no templated output. You work with the person conducting the analysis and writing the report. ๐Ÿ“‹ How I work is as important as what I find Every finding in my reports is one I will defend as genuinely material to your environment. No padding, no low-hanging fruit included to justify the fee, no default risk ratings copied from a scanner. If your context changes the risk, the rating reflects that. What you receive: โœ… A visually structured report with clear separation between executive summary, findings and remediation roadmap โ€” written to be read by people who are not security specialists โœ… Risk ratings adjusted to your specific environment and context, not defaulted from a tool โœ… A prioritised remediation roadmap so your team knows exactly what to fix first and why it matters commercially โœ… Immediate escalation of any high-risk finding or schedule-affecting issue during the engagement โ€” you are never waiting until the end to hear something important โœ… Daily status updates so you always know where the engagement stands โœ… A debrief call at close to walk through findings, answer questions and finalise the report before it is delivered CISSP | ISSAP | Microsoft Security certifications | 27 years If you need to know whether your environment is genuinely secure โ€” not whether it looks configured โ€” I am worth a conversation.

I build and run AML/CFT compliance programmes for fintechs, MSBs, crypto exchanges, and payment service providers โ€” across Canada (FINTRAC/RPAA), UK (FCA), UAE (DFSA), and the US (FinCEN). Whether you need a fractional MLRO, a regulatory licensing application, or a full compliance framework built from scratch, I deliver audit-ready documentation and practical controls โ€” not boilerplate templates. CAMS, ACMA, CGMA certified with 5+ years building compliance programmes across banking, crypto, and payments. Delivered FINTRAC MSB registrations, FCA authorisation applications, and DFSA licensing support. Designed end-to-end KYC/CDD onboarding workflows using Sumsub, Persona, and Jumio.

Most PMOs produce reports. I build the systems that produce decisions. After 12 years running project controls on programs from $60M to $400M (EPC, construction, SaaS, ERP), I've seen the same pattern: PMOs that track everything but influence nothing. Executives get slide decks. Nothing gets decided. I come in, find the real gaps, and build governance frameworks, executive dashboards, and AI-powered PMO systems that leadership actually opens on Monday morning. What I build: โ†’ PMO governance from scratch: RAID logs, intake processes, change control workflows, RACI charts, and templates teams actually use (not bypass) โ†’ Executive dashboards (Power BI + Smartsheet) with live CPI/SPI, S-Curves, risk heatmaps, and one-page flight plans โ†’ AI-powered PMO operating systems: automated status synthesis, risk flagging, and reporting via Make + Claude API โ†’ Integrated master schedules in Primavera P6 and MS Project: from 25-project construction portfolios to 5,000-task EPC programs โ†’ EVM reporting (CPI, SPI, variance analysis) that finance and executives can read without a translator At Algonquin College, I built the PMO governance framework for a $75M ERP transformation across 7+ workstreams, eliminated 10+ hours per week of manual reporting, chaired the Change Control Committee, and integrated MS Project, SharePoint, JIRA, and Excel into a single reporting system. Over the past year I've extended this work into small businesses and SaaS development companies, teams that need the same discipline but with a lean approach. For these clients I typically deploy Smartsheet or Asana as the operating backbone, scaled to fit the team size and budget without the enterprise overhead. ------------------------------------------------- How I work: I don't need 3 weeks of onboarding calls before I start. I diagnose fast, build faster, and hand off with documentation your team can actually use. Week 1 - Diagnostic: I find the real problems, not just the obvious ones. Week 2โ€“3: Build: governance frameworks, dashboards, automation, schedules. Delivery: A working system, full handoff documentation, and a 30-minute walkthrough call. Everything is deliverable-driven and async-friendly. If you want structured weekly check-ins, I build those in. If you prefer async-only, that works too. I respond within 12โ€“24 hours and communicate in plain language, no consultant-speak. Not sure if this is the right engagement? Start with the Free PMO Health Check [link in profile] before you commit to anything. ------------------------------------------------- What clients say: "Grateful for Amir's expertise in all things PMO, governance and the hands on ability to demonstrate how to execute. The most difficult challenge at Algonquin was controlling the hybrid approach which included getting change management buy-in for the various ceremonies, multiple control tools (vendor/3rd party included) such as MS Project/Project Server, SharePoint, Jira, Service Now, SmartSheets and Azure DevOps. Amir is tremendously skilled in monitoring the governance impacts in near real time and making the necessary adjustments for delivery. I always think of Amir for his early consultation when I need to approach a new engagement. Thanks Amir!" Sam Wong - Algonquin College ------------------------------------------------------ "Amir has been working with our organization "PAND Settlement Service" for the past six years in various capacities, including five years as a strategic advisor and board member, where he played a key role in building the governance backbone of our organization. His strategic mindset, structured approach, and ability to translate complex project data into clear executive direction have significantly strengthened our operational efficiency and long-term planning. In addition to his leadership contributions, Amir has delivered high-impact PMP, Excel, and Project Management workshops for our community and designed a comprehensive Educational Email Course for our employment program, all of which received remarkable feedback. Most recently, as a member of our Board of Directors, he continues to advise at the executive level, providing valuable insight on organizational roadmap development and strategic growth."

How to Hire Top Risk Management Specialists

How to hire risk management specialists

Nobody can predict the future, but identifying project risks and developing a plan of action to address them is the next best thing. 

So how do you hire risk management specialists? What follows are some tips for finding top risk management specialists on Upwork.

How to shortlist risk management professionals

As youโ€™re browsing available risk management consultants, it can be helpful to develop a shortlist of the professionals you may want to interview. You can screen profiles on criteria such as:

  • Industry fit. You want a risk management specialist who understands your industry so they can help you figure out how best to reach your target market. 
  • Project experience. Screen candidate profiles for specific skills and experience (e.g., creating financial forecasts).
  • Feedback. Check reviews from past clients for glowing testimonials or red flags that can tell you what itโ€™s like to work with a particular risk management specialist.

How to write an effective risk management job post

With a clear picture of your ideal risk management specialist in mind, itโ€™s time to write that job post. Although you donโ€™t need a full job description as you would when hiring an employee, aim to provide enough detail for a contractor to know if theyโ€™re the right fit for the project. 

An effective risk management job post should include: 

  • Scope of work: From implementing risk management information systems (RMISs) to performing root cause analysis (RCA), list all the deliverables youโ€™ll need. 
  • Project length: Your job post should indicate whether this is a smaller or larger project. 
  • Background: If you prefer experience with certain industries or risk management techniques, mention this here. 
  • Budget: Set a budget and note your preference for hourly rates vs. fixed-price contracts.

RISK MANAGEMENT SPECIALISTS FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is risk management? 

Risk management is the practice of identifying, monitoring, and mitigating risk. In the world of business and finance, risk refers to the potential for financial loss, while in civil engineering itโ€™s the potential for structural failure. Risk can broadly be defined as the probability of an undesirable outcome.

Hereโ€™s a quick overview of the skills you should look for in risk management consultants:

  • Risk management
  • Project management
  • Quantitative analysis and statistics
  • Risk management techniques (e.g., SWOT analysis, root cause analysis)

Why hire risk management specialists?

The trick to finding top risk management specialists is to identify your needs. Is your goal to identify the financial risks of a business investment? Or do you need someone to perform RCA of a faulty product? The cost of your project will depend largely on your scope of work and the specific skills needed to bring your project to life. 

How much does it cost to hire a risk management specialist?

Rates can vary due to many factors, including expertise and experience, location, and market conditions.

  • An experienced risk management specialist may command higher fees but also work faster, have more specialized areas of expertise, and deliver a higher-quality product.
  • A contractor who is still in the process of building a client base may price their risk management services more competitively. 

Which one is right for you will depend on the specifics of your project.
