Many thanks for reaching out.
Here is an outline of what I have been up to over the past few years.
In the period 1993-2000 I operated in various technical support roles.
In 2000 I was holding Checkpoint and Microsoft Engineer certification
together with CISCO CCNA and was appointed as Security Design Manager
for BT Ignite.
I passed my CISSP in 2003 which led an appointment to design and
implement a bespoke IPSEC security gateway architecture connecting
GEC/Alstom Paris head office Checkpoint hub with Alstom premises in Arab
countries where Checkpoint software could not be licensed. I created a
bespoke Linux kernel design to host stable IPSEC endpoints in Arab
countries using standard HP kit.
A discussion of this architecture at interview with BT Syntegra led to
an appointment as System Security Officer for the MOD/GSI/Internet
security gateway. While in post in 2004 I was accepted into the CLAS scheme.
In 2005 I did my 1st assignment in central government for ODPM regional
offices to assist NCC group to advise their client Fujitsu on the
security assurance of utilising a new VOIP telephony network for
Restricted government network traffic, designing a VPN architecture to
enable this integration.
I was CLAS consultant for an outsource project of the
network and desktop together with decoupling infrastructure of DCLG from DFT.
In 2006, while in post I was promoted to accreditor for the department
and helped them to get the appointed supplier into shape for them to
provide a secure solution for the new dual live-live out-of-town
datacentre architecture.
In that year I passed the British Standards Institute ISO27001 Lead Auditor course
I did special optical fibre security assurance research work on the
heatbeat inter-datacentre connection using an assessment of the optical
budget design to assure the mitigation from exposure to optical fibre
interception.
This work was discussed at interview in Cheltenham and resulted in a
four year assignment as proxy accreditor for a very large secure
network, during the course of which I ran 38 security assurance
projects. While in post I was awarded ITPC Accreditor certification by
waiver through experience.
Following from this I worked as ITSO for OFT, did security assurance for
a new agency integrated communications telephony network as well as
other assurance work for the Home Office.
In 2013 I assisted NCC group, Fujitsu and CESG with a CTAS security
assessment of the new Defence Enterpise Service Bus digital architecture.
In 2016 I was the IA consultant for a digital transformation project for
UK Borders.
In 2017 I was appointed IA and Privacy manager for Cabinet Office
Government Digital Service (GDS) where i advised on the security
assurance of many SAAS tools as well as heading up security assurance
work on the GOV.UK platform.
I hold CISSP (ISC2) and CCSP (Certified Cloud Security Professional ISC2).
I also hold the International Association of Privacy Professional
CIPP/E and CIPM certificates ( GDPR Law and Privacy management)
In 2020 I re-certified as NCSC CCP.
While awaiting assignment as IA consultant I am on the CREST CRT/CTL pen
testing path.
Possible Roles I undertake are as follows :-
Accreditor
Security Officer
Pen Tester
Security Manager
IA Consultant
IT Security Officer
Privacy Manager
Data Protection Officer
etc
I attach two CVs.
