    In today’s digital battleground, cybersecurity isn’t just about defence - it’s about enabling business resilience. As a Lead Cybersecurity Manager & Information Assurance specialist, I provide expertise in risk-driven security strategies, ensuring businesses can anticipate, withstand, and recover from evolving cyber threats without disrupting operations.

    Have led & delivered dozens of successful ISMS implementations and audits, guiding businesses to achieve and maintain ISO 27001 certification. My approach blends technical expertise with business-focused solutions that deliver measurable value.

    Core Expertise:

    - ISO 27001/27002: Design, implementation, and audit of ISMS for certification and compliance.

    - GRC Frameworks: Align security with business goals using ISO 27001, NIST CSF, and CIS Controls.

    - Risk Assessment & Management: Identify, evaluate, and mitigate cyber threats.

    - Incident Response: Build and execute effective plans to minimise impact and downtime.

    - Development of clear, actionable security policies and standards to enhance resilience.

    - Risk advisory & consultancy: Gap analysis, remediation planning, and certification audit readiness support.

    - Cybersecurity awareness and compliance training: Excel at making complex topics practical and engaging, with proven success in mentoring professionals and guiding organisations through cyber security awareness training and security programmes.

    From securing global telecom infrastructures to building and transitioning ISMS frameworks, I translate complex security challenges into actionable business insights.
