Senior security leadership without the overhead of a full-time hire. I act as your organisation's security executive: setting strategy, managing risk, reporting to the board and ensuring regulatory alignment, scaled to your actual requirements.
What's included: - Rapid security assessment and board-level reporting at the start of the engagement - Security strategy and roadmap development - Risk governance, policy oversight and security programme direction - Board and audit committee reporting, investor and client assurance - Regulatory alignment (NIS2, DORA, UK GDPR, ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials Plus) - Mentoring for internal security and IT teams Why me: over 20 years of cyber security leadership, former Group CISO of a global law firm, senior advisory roles with PwC and the Scottish Government, CISSP and CISM.
Named #1 CISO in the UK CSO 30 Awards 2022 and inducted into the UK CSO Awards Hall of Fame 2023. I have managed incidents, faced regulators and presented to boards, and I bring that experience to your organisation.
Engagements are flexible: light-touch strategic oversight through to interim CISO coverage, typically at 30-50% of the cost of a full-time senior security executive. Through the Alvearium Hive network you also gain access to specialist expertise across security domains without building an entire team.
Senior security leadership delivered on a flexible, part-time basis. Scope typically covers security strategy and roadmap, risk governance, board and audit committee reporting, regulatory alignment, supplier and client assurance, and mentoring of internal teams.
