Leading security & compliance projects that actually get certified
NIS2, ISO 27001, IEC 62443, DORA, ISO 42001 — regulation turns security into a delivery problem with a deadline. I lead these programmes as a project manager who speaks both security and delivery.
Compliance is a project, not a policy
A framework on paper isn't compliance — someone has to run the programme: scope it, assign it, chase the evidence, hit the audit date and keep the business running meanwhile. That's project management, and it's where most compliance efforts stall. I bridge the gap between the security experts and the delivery reality.
