Key projects included collaborative efforts where my team and I: • Developed and delivered targeted cybersecurity training for Linux teams to address security culture gaps, emphasising secure practices and compliance. • Designed and implemented phishing simulation exercises to strengthen the staff's ability to identify and mitigate social engineering attacks. Additionally, introduced gamified security awareness programs to boost engagement and foster proactive vulnerability management. • Implemented technical defences such as MFA and advanced email security systems to protect Plum's digital assets. • Conducted a comprehensive cybersecurity risk assessment for Plum, identifying vulnerabilities, implementing automated tools like KnowBe4, Nessus, and Qualys, and aligning security strategies with business objectives to safeguard sensitive data and ensure compliance. • Developed a plan to measure the effectiveness of Plum’s induction program and conducted an information security risk assessment using OCTAVE Allegro. • Designed a secure governance structure for Plum, applying the three lines of defense model. • Developed and executed an ISO 27001 internal audit plan at Plum, identifying security gaps, aligning controls with ISMS pillars, and establishing a roadmap to achieve certification across diverse business units. • Identified relevant information security regulations and laws applicable to Plum’s technology use. • Successfully implemented the NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) within Plum to strengthen cybersecurity and compliance. These initiatives enhanced Plum's security posture, ensured regulatory compliance, and fostered continuous improvement in risk management practices. • Designed security architecture models like Zero Trust, aligning with business needs and industry standards.
