H2 Cyber Risk Advisory Services

Managing Director

Independent Contractor

Having taken the decision to return to UK following a successful time in Dubai, I will use my extensive experience and skills in Cyber and Operational Security to provide advisory services to clients, independent of any vendor, be it services or products, to ensure unbiased advice and guidance to provide solutions tailored to the client.

H2 Information Risk Management Consultants

Risk Management is an activity which integrates recognition of risk, risk assessment and the development of strategies to manage and mitigate those risks.
Having recognised a gap in the market suggesting that many medium size businesses are badly served by the security industry in regard to risk management, with the major consultancies focused on providing services to the larger organisations and corporations, H2 was set up to fill that gap.
H2 therefore offers services which are scaled to serve the needs of the medium size business in order to assist them to identify and mitigate those risks which have the potential to damage that business.
H2 is a consultancy partner for the delivery of STREAM, the market leading risk management software provided by Acuity.  Check us out at www.hah2.co.uk.

H2 Cyber Security Services came into being over a coffee in a hotel in Stamford, when myself and my business partner were discussing the fast changing cyber security landscape. 

While the enterprise market took measures, small and medium sized businesses were, we felt, badly served by the cyber security industry and often left unknowingly exposed to the fast-evolving dangers of cyber attacks and data breaches and their accompanying financial and reputational implications. 

After leaving the military I took up a 30-year IT career, after all I had to feed my family.  During that time I’ve been called in to work on projects for the Passport Office, FCO, MOD and fortune 500 companies, amongst many others. 

In setting up H2 we took the decision to focus on the midmarket, providing them with the same level of service given to the enterprise market, ensuring that they are equipped to handle and stay protected from the increasing changes in working practices following COVID and the 'new normal', and the fast-developing threat landscape in the cyber world.

I’m proud to say we have helped over 50 businesses achieve the following: 

* Understand their Cyber maturity and the risks they face
* Remain safe and protected from data breaches 
* Providing the same level of protection when working remotely, as they have in the office
* Providing advice and guidance to C Level personnel in the business
* Providing innovation and adopting new technologies as they emerge in this changing world
* Championing and providing cyber security awareness training at all levels in the business
* And above all, educating owners, directors and managers, that cyber security is a business issue, not a technical issue and that it needs C Level attention to succeed

I enjoy understanding how things work and collaborating with others in finding technical solutions. One of the things I truly like is to employ my programming skills to solve problems and repetitive tasks that ease workflow.

One of my greatest strengths is my ability to adapt to the situation and keep going whatever tasks that are ahead. I am flexible and constantly trying to refine my expertise. 

After graduating 2012 from Åland University of Applied Sciences, I immediately got employment at Ecomar Ltd as a Project Engineer. 

After almost four great years of Marine Engineering projects, I decided to pursue my Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering at Aalto University.

After graduating from Aalto I started working as a Project Engineer for Foreship Ltd, where I got to work with creative and very skilled people. I also got to employ my passion for problem-solving!

Currently I am working at Ålands Företagsbyrå, as their IT Specialist. I get to work with Excel and Python, and have started learning TSQL. I am challenged with further refining the use of the ERP-system Lemonsoft. Development and daily maintenance of the IT-structure and equipment is also one of my responsibilities.
