What I Love Doing

Addressing complex challenges with a practical approach typically requires a mix of technological innovation, collaboration with skilled individuals, and strategic improvements in processes.

01

Security by Design

By building security into the foundation of infrastructure, software, or products, I ensure that threats are minimised, compliance with regulatory standards is more easily achieved, and risks are managed efficiently. This proactive stance is a key part of my cybersecurity strategy.

02

Cyber Implementation

I create customised cybersecurity strategies that integrate solutions into existing systems, ensuring robust protection across a clients infrastructure. This approach aligns security with business goals, minimises disruption, and enhances resilience, helping clients improve their cybersecurity posture, ensure compliance, and mitigate risks.

03

Regulatory Advisory

I specialise in providing expert advisory services for banking regulations, helping clients navigate complex regulatory landscapes, ensuring compliance with industry standards and legal requirements, and assisting clients in obtaining banking licenses across multiple jurisdictions.

04

Cyber Security Advisory

I provide tailored cybersecurity advisory services to help clients protect their critical assets. My approach emphasises proactive threat mitigation, regulatory compliance, and alignment with business objectives. I assist clients in strengthening their defences and building a sustainable security posture.

05

Trusted Advisor

I build strong partnerships with vendors and clients based on trust and open communication. By aligning goals and working collaboratively, I ensure that all stakeholders are engaged in delivering effective solutions. This focus on transparency and understanding clients' needs fosters long-term relationships and drives successful outcomes.

06

Forensic Investigation

I conduct forensic investigations precisely, focusing on uncovering key evidence and analysing security incidents thoroughly. Leveraging advanced tools and methodologies ensures that all findings are accurate and actionable. My approach emphasises transparency, timely reporting, and clear communication with stakeholders, helping clients understand the root cause of incidents and take informed steps to mitigate future risks.
