Expertise.
From architecture to leadership.
Five connected disciplines: security operations, security architecture, detection and response, security metrics, and AI-directed software engineering.
Cyber defense operations
& interim leadership
How do teams, technologies and providers become dependable security services?
I take on operational leadership and governance within the agreed mandate. The focus is on cooperation between central security, country organisations and providers, with clear decision-making in day-to-day operations.
- Service ownership, roles and escalation paths across internal teams and external providers.
- Service reviews covering scope, outstanding actions and dependencies.
- Coordination of critical incidents and communication of technical situation assessments to the responsible decision-makers.

Operating model · Responsibility matrix · Service review structure · Decision and action register
SOC Operations · EDR Operations · MSSP Governance
Project experienceSecurity architecture
& international transformation
How can a technical change be delivered across a distributed organisation?
I connect the assessment of technical options with future operating requirements. This includes target architecture, dependencies, policy and exception handling, and coordination of international rollouts.
- Assessment of EDR and Device Control capabilities within existing endpoint and operating environments.
- Alignment of central requirements with local needs, technical dependencies and operational owners.
- Planning of pilots, rollout waves, acceptance criteria and operational handover.
Example work products
Target architecture · Migration roadmap · Policy and exception framework · Acceptance and handover documentation
CrowdStrike Falcon · Trellix · Device Control · EDR / XDR
Project experienceSIEM, detection
& incident management
Which events matter — and what happens after an alert?
My technical background includes security logging, SIEM use cases, risk-based incident triage and forensic analysis. This experience informs the design of detection, analysis and response processes.
- Review and development of use cases and playbooks, including their interfaces with the SOC.
- Assessment of log sources, analysis requirements and technical dependencies for central logging and SIEM environments.
- Alignment of triage, escalation and incident coordination with internal teams and providers.

Elastic / ELK · Google Chronicle · Cisco XDR · SOC / CERT
Project experienceSecurity metrics
& management oversight
Which metrics actually support a decision?
I develop security metrics programmes and decision-oriented reporting. The starting point is a specific management question, a defined measurement scope and traceable data. My experience also includes leading an evidence-based cyber defense maturity assessment.
- Definition of each metric’s purpose, calculation, data source, owner and interpretation.
- Review of data quality, coverage and comparability before metrics are used in management reporting.
- Connection of metrics and findings to required action, decisions and follow-up.
Example work products
Metric definitions · Evidence register · Reporting structure · Prioritised recommendations
Security Metrics · NIST CSF 2.0 · OSMS
Project experienceAI-directed engineering
& secure architecture
How does AI-assisted implementation become a maintainable enterprise application?
I combine requirements, architecture and security controls with AI-directed engineering workflows. I retain professional accountability, from task decomposition through testing and code review to documentation and operational handover.
- Bring requirements, data flows, identities and permissions together in a traceable architecture.
- Direct agentic implementation with automated tests, security checks and code reviews.
- Make maintainability, documentation and deployment readiness part of delivery.
Example work products
Architecture decisions · Requirements and controls model · Tests and review evidence · Operating documentation

ApproachLet’s discuss
your requirements.
A short description of your situation, the role you need and the intended timeframe is enough to start. We can then discuss the expertise and scope of responsibility your initiative requires.
