ISO27001 consultant
Without a doubt, this has been my best UpWork experience.
Moe has been imperative to our organization's ISO27001 journey, which has been a drawn-out process (due to delays on our side). He was able to work autonomously, provided clear guidance after his gap analysis, was timely in his responses and information - always adhering to optimistic deadlines set by us. His knowledge of the standard made it seem effortless. He was able to liaise with staff and make sure they adhered to the standard, coach us on the process prior to our audit, and work with us remotely over the course of 3 days with the external auditor to ensure we covered the standard.
Moe helped us achieve ISO27001 certification led by an independent audit conducted by a big 4 consulting company on our first attempt, with only 1 non-conformance which he supported with a timely remediation plan.
We look forward to continuing to work with Moe.
