Work with me

Bring the context.
Define a useful outcome.

Work directly with me on a clearly scoped security question, review or workshop. The first conversation establishes the problem, the boundaries and the output you need.

A personal engagement is about the contribution I can make. It is not a promise of a full-time team, continuous monitoring or an unlimited service.

Looking at a professional role or research collaboration instead? See my background or explore the research or contact me directly.

Security assessment & technical review

You need to understand an application, API, network or infrastructure weakness.

My role

Define an authorized scope, examine behavior and review the evidence behind the finding.

Useful output

A scoped assessment report, technical review or retest record with boundaries and practical remediation.

Start a discussion

Governance & readiness advice

A customer, stakeholder or internal review requires clearer security answers.

My role

Review supplied records, map supported statements and identify gaps with responsible owners.

Useful output

A readiness summary, evidence-reference matrix or prioritized action plan. Not certification or an independent audit opinion.

Start a discussion

Cloud, identity & defensive security

Permissions, configuration or operational visibility need a focused review.

My role

Examine an agreed architecture or workflow and explain the control decisions that matter.

Useful output

A bounded review, improvement roadmap or verification checklist. Not continuous monitoring or a 24/7 response service.

Start a discussion

Banking, financial services & fintech security

A bank, payment provider or fintech needs a clear view of a defined application, identity, SOC, cloud or governance risk.

My role

Scope an authorized review around business-critical journeys, sensitive data, access boundaries, third-party dependencies and response readiness.

Useful output

Technical assessment, evidence-led GRC or readiness review, tabletop exercise or prioritized improvement plan.

Start a discussion

AI & LLM security review

An organization is adopting a model, assistant or agent and needs to understand the security boundaries before wider use.

My role

Review an agreed design or test environment for prompt-injection exposure, sensitive-data paths, tool permissions, identity boundaries and human oversight.

Useful output

A scoped AI risk review, practical threat model and prioritized security test plan.

Start a discussion

Virtual CISO & security-roadmap advisory

Organizations need a practical security plan that connects risk, ownership, investment and delivery.

My role

Translate the organization’s context and available evidence into decisions, priorities and accountable next steps.

Useful output

A bounded advisory session, security roadmap or executive-ready briefing. Not a substitute for a full-time security team or continuous monitoring.

Start a discussion

Corporate cybersecurity training

Professional teams need practical, role-aware security capability rather than generic slides.

My role

Adapt a workshop to business context, audience, operating responsibilities and measurable learning outcomes.

Useful output

Corporate awareness sessions, technical workshops, executive briefings and tabletop exercises. Delivery and accreditation status are agreed up front.

Start a discussion

Corporate & university training

A team needs to understand a security problem and practise the right response.

My role

Build audience-specific learning around practical examples, guided exercises and organizational outcomes.

Useful output

Corporate awareness, technical workshops, executive briefings, university programmes and tabletop exercises.

Start a discussion

Security hiring & practitioner-led vetting

A hiring team needs to distinguish a strong CV from evidence of role-ready capability.

My role

Help define the technical requirements and use bounded scenarios to assess practical reasoning against agreed role criteria.

Useful output

A role profile, structured technical assessment and evidence-based shortlist. The employer makes the hiring decision.
