The Problem

Your company is handling sensitive customer data. You're chasing ISO 27001 or SOC 2. The security checklist is growing faster than your team can handle. But you can't justify £200k+ for a full-time CISO.

The Solution

I work as your virtual CISO. I build your security programme, guide your team, and get you compliance-ready — without the enterprise price tag.

What I do

Security Strategy

Build a security roadmap that actually fits your stage — not a Fortune 500 framework scaled down.

Compliance

ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, UK Cyber Essentials. Get audit-ready without the consultant markup.

Vendor Reviews

Tool decisions, supplier security assessments, contract review. Make informed choices without the guesswork.

Incident Response

When something goes wrong — and it will — you have a plan and someone to call.

Team Coaching

Train your dev and product teams to think security without boring them to tears.

Board Communication

Translate security risk into business language. Get the budget you actually need.

Who this is for

Series A to pre-IPO. 20 to 500 people. UK or EU regulated industries — fintech, health, legal, professional services. Companies that have real compliance obligations but don't need (or can't afford) a full security team.

The offer

£3k/month

Billed monthly. You have security leadership on demand — strategy sessions, vendor calls, incident response, board prep.

Access when you need it

Direct line to a senior CISO. Not a junior consultant. Not a vCISO marketplace. Me.
