About Miguel
I help scaling SMEs, FinTechs, and start-ups improve cloud security, prepare for client audits, and meet compliance expectations without needing a full-time internal security team.
As companies grow, security questions often become commercial blockers. Enterprise clients may ask for detailed security questionnaires, investors may expect stronger governance, and regulators may require clearer evidence of controls. I help turn those requirements into practical next steps, clear documentation, and security improvements that support growth rather than slow it down.
My work covers ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, DORA readiness, vendor risk, CNAPP implementation, security questionnaires, and multi-cloud security across AWS, Azure, and GCP. I bring experience across consulting, cloud security, incident response, threat intelligence, financial services, and start-up environments. I also hold a BSc in Computer Science with Cyber Security from Warwick and an MSc in Management and Finance from Durham.
Recent projects include advising a global securities exchange on an£11M+ CNAPP migration from CloudGuard to WIZ, supporting integrations with Splunk, OPE, and Snowflake, and translating technical findings into executive-level recommendations.
Typical projects I support:
- Compliance readiness: ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, DORA, audit preparation, gap assessments, control mapping, and evidence gathering.
- Cloud security: AWS, Azure, GCP, WIZ, CNAPP, risk prioritisation, and secure cloud architecture.
- Fractional security support: governance, RACI design, vendor risk, client security questionnaires, and third-party assessments.
- Automation: Python, LLM workflows, threat intelligence, compliance reporting, and security process automation.
My style is pragmatic, structured, and business-focused. I help you identify what matters, fix what blocks progress, and give clients, investors, and internal stakeholders confidence in your security posture.
