How I Help

Leveraging my 25+ years of experience, you will:

  • Gain Clarity on the expectations of your clients, prospects, funding partners, board members, shareholders, and regulators.

  • Identify what needs to be done to get aligned, and stay aligned.

  • Be Led, Guided, or Supported throughout the process.

  • Prove to all interested parties that you are a safe pair of hands.

Service Options

Security360 Assessment

  • Your Challenge: You’re being asked more frequently about your security, and you’re not sure you have the right answers.

  • How I Help: I provide a truly independent and 360-degree assessment of your current security and identify what ‘appropriate security’ looks like for your organisation.

Microsoft 365 & Copilot Security Assessment

  • Your Challenge: You’ve realised Microsoft 365 is your most valuable store of confidential information, but you don’t know if it’s secure.

  • How I Help: I provide a truly independent assessment of your Microsoft 365 security, checking over 70 different security features to ensure you’re not an easy target for a cyber attacker.

Virtual CISO / On-Demand Security Advisor

(Month-By-Month Retained Service)

  • Your Challenge: You’re under pressure to improve your security posture so your clients and prospects don’t see you as a weak link. You know you need security expertise on your team, but you’re not quite sure exactly what you need.

  • How I Help: I can lead, guide, or support your security & regulatory compliance efforts, giving you time to work out your longer-term resourcing strategy.

ISO 27001 Certification

  • Your Challenge: Your clients are asking if you are certified to a security standard, and prospects won’t even consider your proposals until you are certified. While you think about this, your competitors are winning business that you should be winning.

  • How I Help: If you provide services to enterprise or regulated firms, ISO 27001 should be on your agenda. ISO27001 is the only global and independently-certified Information Security Management standard. I ensure you are ready for certification when a lack of time or in-house know-how are blocking your way.

Enterprise Ireland Cyber Review Grant

  • Your Challenge: Enterprise Ireland, in collaboration with the National Cyber Security Centre, is now offering EI clients access to a Cyber Security Review grant. Successful applicants will receive funding to cover 80% of the €3,000 review fee.

  • How I Help: As a Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), I can support your application for EI funding, provide you with a truly independent assessment of your cyber security, and help you apply for the second-phase funding (which may cover remediation costs of up to €60,000).

I also provide a range of other services tailored to the needs of regulated financial services firms

(e.g. Assessing your compliance with Central Bank of Ireland expectations / Thematic Reviews / DORA;
Assessing the Security of your IT MSP or other Critical Service Provider;
Microsoft 365 Copilot Readiness Assessment).
