Security engineering and secure builds, for small teams.

Twenty-plus years in IT security, applied to the things small businesses actually run: websites, apps, email, cloud accounts and the automations that tie them together.

Three ways I can help

SEC-01

Security assessments & hardening

A clear-eyed look at how exposed you really are, and a prioritised list of fixes you can actually finish.

  • External attack-surface review: domains, email, cloud accounts, exposed services
  • Identity & access hygiene: MFA, admin accounts, offboarding, password practice
  • Hardening of websites, servers and SaaS configuration
  • A plain-English report with a ranked fix list — and help doing the fixes

Good fit: Small businesses, nonprofits and schools without a full-time security person.

BLD-02

Secure web & app builds

Websites, web apps and mobile apps built with security designed in from the first commit, not bolted on at launch.

  • Marketing sites and storefronts that are fast, accessible and easy to update
  • Web apps and internal tools with sane auth, roles and audit trails
  • Mobile apps (iOS/Android) with a secure backend
  • Threat-modelled architecture, dependency hygiene and a hand-over you can maintain

Good fit: Founders and teams who need something shipped properly the first time.

AUT-03

AI automation

Practical automation for the repetitive parts of your week — with humans kept in the loop where it matters.

  • Workflow automation that connects the tools you already use
  • AI-assisted drafting, triage and summarising with approval steps
  • Guardrails: data handling, access scopes and logging from day one
  • Honest advice on where AI is not worth it

Good fit: Owners who are drowning in admin and want time back without leaking data.

Process

How engagements work

  1. 01

    Intro call

    A short call to understand what you need and whether I’m the right person for it. If I’m not, I’ll say so.

  2. 02

    Scoped proposal

    A written scope with deliverables, timeline and a fixed price or clear rate — no surprise invoices.

  3. 03

    Build & check in

    Regular, short check-ins so you always know where things stand and can change course early.

  4. 04

    Hand-over

    Documentation, access handed back to you, and a list of what to watch next. You own everything.
