Description: A pragmatic, down-to-earth CyberSecurity professional who translates technical jargon into understandable business terms. I have worked in technical roles, risk management and strategy roles in both large enterprises and smaller organisations, giving me a balanced mix of experience when it comes to projects and job duties. I'm currently working as a part-time CISO for a cyber security organisation as well as a part-time freelance consultant.

However, I've also worked in retail in addition to a consultancy services role, working directly with customers in identifying breaches and recommending how they can improve their security posture. With cyber security, a business can't focus on improving everything, so it is important to focus on those few areas which give the greatest return on investment. My speciality is explaining cyber related businesses risk in a simple way, and advising on solutions in a rational, quantified manner to maximise ROI, both in effort and cost. I offer practical and pragmatic consultancy with: - vCISO (virtual chief information security officer) - Security training, coaching and awareness - Cyber risk assessments / security health checks - Strategy, framework and policy development - Cyber-essentials certification - ISO27001 gap assessments and implementation - NIS2 gap assessments and implementation - Security improvement plan creation and implementation
