Understand your cyber security risks and manage them efficiently

Do you have a solid framework for setting security policies, objectives, and processes? Security governance should be aligned with the overall business strategy and risk appetite. Good risk practices will help ensure the business assigns resources to the right problems. Finally, a good right-sized compliance framework should also be in place, ensuring that your organisation complies with applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards.

Customers are increasingly concerned about their privacy. Companies that collect and use personal data responsibly can build customer trust and loyalty. Are you making the best of these opportunities? A data breach or other privacy incident can also damage a company's reputation. Companies that take steps to protect customer privacy can reduce the risk of these incidents.

Do you have a good understanding of your information assets? Where are they located, what are they used for, and by whom? Good maturity helps protect your IP and your staff and customers' data.

Phishing attacks, ransomware, credential stuffing, constant patching, and so much more. Not enough time and resources? And so much to do. Do you need help navigating through all of this?

Do you clearly understand your obligations and exposure? Are you confident you have been given the correct information? I help my clients with independent advice, ensuring they know they are asking the right questions and that the answers are relevant and accurate.

Strategy, governance, risk and compliance (GRC), business continuity, privacy, architecture, cyber security, solution design, cloud, on-prem... I help my client make sense of all these moving parts, identify the real priorities, and solve problems without creating more.

The best moment to start your security and privacy maturity is on day 1. I help my clients improve their security and privacy as they mature their startups so that they can be ready for the inevitable questions from their clients and investors. I know cash flow is key for startups, so I also offer flexible models tailored to this.

I offer pro bono work for not-for-profits and charities, typically advising or assisting the board with their responsibilities. Don't hesitate to reach out to discuss!
