The reality

Compliance is not the hard part. Making it work is.

Many organisations know they need policies, controls, risk management, supplier follow-up and incident response. The challenge is turning those requirements into concrete actions, owners, timelines, evidence and management reporting.

Too many requirements, no clear roadmap

Gap assessments without follow-up

Policies without ownership

Audit pressure without evidence

Services

I support you in three key areas

Strategy. Governance. Implementation. Results.

01

Cybersecurity Project Management

Structure, governance and delivery for cybersecurity initiatives.

For organisations that need an experienced project manager to bring structure, stakeholder alignment and execution discipline to cybersecurity, GRC or compliance programs.

  • Project planning and delivery follow-up
  • Steering committee preparation
  • Risk, issue and dependency management
  • Stakeholder alignment between business, IT, security and suppliers
  • Management reporting and decision tracking
02

NIS2 Implementation

From requirements to a practical implementation roadmap.

I help organisations translate NIS2 obligations into concrete implementation actions using CyFun or ISO/IEC 27001 as practical frameworks.

  • NIS2 readiness and implementation planning
  • Gap assessment follow-up
  • CyFun maturity tracking
  • ISO/IEC 27001 control implementation support
  • Policies, controls, governance and evidence follow-up
  • Remediation planning with clear owners and deadlines
03

Internal Audit Readiness

Prepare, assess and improve your ISMS.

For organisations that want to understand whether their ISMS, ISO 27001 or CyFun controls are actually implemented, documented and ready for internal audit.

  • ISO/IEC 27001 internal audit preparation
  • CyFun control assessment
  • Evidence review and gap identification
  • Audit findings translated into action plans
  • Remediation follow-up and maturity reporting
  • Practical reporting for management

Approach

A practical approach from strategy to execution

  1. 1

    Understand

    Clarify business context, scope, regulatory drivers and current maturity.

  2. 2

    Structure

    Translate requirements into a roadmap, workstreams, owners and governance.

  3. 3

    Implement

    Drive delivery, follow up actions, remove blockers and align stakeholders.

  4. 4

    Evidence

    Make sure policies, controls and implementation evidence are traceable.

  5. 5

    Report

    Provide clear progress, risk and maturity reporting to management.

Frameworks

Frameworks I work with

I use frameworks as practical delivery tools, not as paperwork exercises. The goal is to make progress visible, ownership clear and compliance operational.
