Cybersecurity practitioner / Founder

I break things.
With permission.

I work in cybersecurity, teach people how it actually works, and build businesses. Here for your security questions, your next learning step, or that ISO 27001 conversation you have been putting off.

Cybersecurity ISO 27001 Mentorship

See what I work on

Free introductory calls and focused paid consultations.

01 / What I work on

Depends what
brought you here.

A business to secure. An audit to prepare for. A terminal you would like to stop arguing with.

01

Cybersecurity

‘Probably secure’ is doing a lot of work.

I help teams find weaknesses, understand the risk, and decide what needs fixing. Web applications, mobile apps, networks, and cloud environments. Findings should lead to useful decisions.

  • Vulnerability assessment and penetration testing.
  • Web and mobile application security.
  • Network and cloud security.
  • Security reviews and remediation guidance.
Clear scope. Explicit permission. Useful findings.
02

ISO 27001

Your policies deserve a life outside that folder.

I help organisations work through ISO/IEC 27001, from understanding the gaps to building an information security management system (ISMS) people can actually follow.

  • Gap assessment and readiness.
  • ISMS implementation support.
  • Risk assessment and treatment planning.
  • Policies, processes, and evidence.
  • Internal audit preparation and audit readiness.
Structure that works beyond the audit week.
03

Mentorship

The tutorial ended. Now what?

Ethical hacking, Linux, networking, pentesting, and the thinking behind the tools. Bring your questions, your lab, or the thing you have been stuck on for three evenings.

  • Practical cybersecurity foundations.
  • Hands-on ethical hacking and pentesting.
  • Lab-based learning and troubleshooting.
  • Career direction and learning plans.
  • Training for individuals and teams.
Your questions are welcome. Your 47 open tutorials can come too.
Group sessions / Workshops

Need this for a room full of people?

Workshops, college sessions, and team training can be discussed too.

02 / The person behind this

A little context.
Very little oversharing.

Cybersecurity is where most of my work starts. I have spent years teaching, testing, and helping people understand systems beyond the tool they just installed.

I also founded Ethical Den and Hivyr Technologies. Building businesses has taken me into AI, branding, and the practical decisions that sit between an idea and something people actually use.

That is why the conversation might start with a security question and end with a better way to run something.

Looking for a photo? I work in cybersecurity. The privacy thing comes with the job.

Still private.

03 / Background

Yes, there is
some history.

Workshops, seminars, practical sessions, and a lot of questions that started with ‘this might be a stupid question’. It usually wasn't.

Apparently, one set of
problems wasn't enough.

01 / Venture

Founder

Ethical Den

My work across cybersecurity, technology, and branding comes together here. Security remains central, alongside the practical work of building and running a business.

02 / Venture

Founder

Hivyr Technologies

Voice AI and conversational systems for business. A place to work on useful automation and the details that make a conversation feel less like a phone menu.

05 / Let's talk

Bring the
question.

A security concern, an ISO 27001 plan, a learning roadblock, or a technical decision that needs another pair of eyes.

Start with an introduction, or make time for a focused working session.

Quick answers

Before you ask.

No. Give me the context and we can work out what kind of conversation would be useful.

No. I also work with students, career-switchers, and working professionals learning cybersecurity.

Yes. Share the audience, topic, and what you would like people to leave understanding.

There will be a free introductory option and paid sessions for focused work. The scope and fee are agreed before a paid booking.
