Making the jump

Hi, I’m Richard. I finally decided to make the jump and start building my own service. I feel excited and scared at the same time.

I firmly believe that it’s essential that every organization is able to manage their Cybersecurity risks. Not only from a commercial standpoint – being a trustworthy service provider –, but also because safety of information is a requirement for personal freedom and the stability of our society.

Organizations, especially smaller ones, should be able to acquire the necessary skills without needing to spend large amounts of cash on consulting fees and expensive software.

So here’s what I’m building:

1. a series of YouTube videos, explaining how you can implement ISO 27001* in your organization yourself.
2. an accompanying membership portal, ISO27DIY.com offering support and additional resources (tooling, templates, example documents, etc.)
3. a place to create and collect all the necessary documentation to get your ISO 27001 certification: AuditGlue.com

*) If you’re not familiar with ISO 27001, it’s an international standard for managing information security. Certification for this standard is increasingly becoming a knock-out criterium on vendor selection shortlists.

I would really appreciate it if you’d sign up for my newsletter on ISO27DIY.com, even if it’s just for moral support ;-)
