About

Nine years reading risk before it became an incident.

  • 01 ISO/IEC 27001:2022 Lead Implementer
  • 02 Nine years in coast guard service — regulatory, safety-critical, compliance-led work
  • 03 DSL Level 2 & KCSiE safeguarding qualified
  • 04 First Class Honours BEd; senior pastoral leadership in education
  • 05 CIPP/E in progress — data protection specialism

Beacon GRC was built on a simple observation: most small organisations don't need a six-figure compliance platform. They need someone who can look at what they actually do, spot where the real risk sits, and tell them plainly what to fix first.

That's the same instinct that shaped a career in safety-critical coast guard operations and, later, safeguarding leadership in education — environments where getting risk assessment wrong has consequences, and where clarity matters more than jargon.

Beacon GRC brings that same grounded, practical approach to information security — helping schools, charities, and small businesses meet the standards their funders, insurers, and larger clients increasingly expect, without the enterprise price tag.
