Scaling revenue via security & trust

Hi everyone — slightly off topic, but I wanted to offer this in case it helps any female founders here.

I’ve recently started my own independent cybersecurity / compliance advisory firm, focused on helping startups, early-stage companies and SMBs get ready for customer, investor or regulatory security expectations.

I’m UK-based and have 14+ years of experience across EY, Deloitte, BDO and Boots in cybersecurity, IT risk, privacy, controls and compliance — including ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR / data protection, ISO 42001, DORA and NIS2.

I know security and compliance can feel expensive, confusing and very “big company” when you’re still building, so I’m offering a small number of heavily discounted one-off readiness reviews for founders in exchange for an honest testimonial / reference if the work is useful.

Areas I can help with include:

  • ISO 27001 / SOC 2 readiness
  • GDPR / data protection gaps
  • AI governance / ISO 42001 / EU AI Act readiness
  • Customer security questionnaires
  • IT security policies and controls
  • Risk registers and remediation roadmaps
  • DORA / NIS2 high-level readiness

This is mainly for female founders who are starting to sell to larger customers, preparing for due diligence, or want to understand what they need to fix before security/compliance becomes a blocker.

Feel free to DM me if this would be useful — happy to point you in the right direction even if we don’t work together.

Scaling revenue via security & compliance (treat as a virtual cofounder)

Hey, do you need any support with IT security / compliance readiness and governance — mainly in areas like ISO 27001, SOC 2, ISO 42001, GDPR/data protection, DORA and NIS2.

I’m UK-based, with 14+ years across EY, Deloitte, BDO and Boots in cybersecurity, IT risk, controls, privacy, ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR/data protection and regulated-sector compliance.

I have started my own advisory firm focused on helping start-ups, early stage companies and SMBs in achieving and maintaining the IT security compliances. I could behave as your entire security department and a CISO, at a price of 1 developer. As a co-founder but no equity demand and a really cheap price

Please DM if I can be off use.
