072° PASTURE
A wall stops the flock from straying. An open horizon keeps the land in view. A ha-ha does both, if you understand the slope, the soil, and the seasons.
Most organizations I am called into have built walls. They go up once, they go up tall, and a year later nobody can see the ground they were meant to protect.
The organizations that endure read the land early, match each boundary to the terrain, and correct course before the ground gives way. That is the work I do.
144° RECORD
Twenty years, in the open
I have run security programs as a CISO and Security Team leader in financial services, retail, fintech and crypto, and built two teams from nothing along the way.
The work that held up was rarely the framework. An ISAE 3402 Type 2 attestation kept more than a million euros of client contracts in place, because the evidence was already being collected before anyone asked for it.
DORA, MiCA, PCI-DSS and ISO 27001:2022 all had to survive an audit and a business that would not stop moving. Most of the argument in those programmes is about what to leave undone, and I would rather have that argument early than explain it to a regulator later.
