SKILLS
ABOUT JULIUS NKEMDICHE
I\'m a Senior Cyber Security Advisor specialising in helping organisations achieve and maintain information security certifications, without losing sight of the business objectives that make it worthwhile.With dual certifications as an ISO 27001:2022 Lead Auditor and Certified Cyber Essentials Assessor, I\'ve guided organisations through their initial ISO 27001 certification and conduct Cyber Essentials assessments across a wide range of sectors and company sizes.What sets me apart is the commercial dimension. Before moving into cyber security, I spent years in sales and business development, building wholesale channels, negotiating contracts with global brands, and driving measurable revenue growth. That background means I understand how to communicate risk in business terms, secure executive buy-in, and position security as an enabler rather than a cost.My work spans ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials & CE Plus, TISAX, and ISO 9001. As a Virtual Information Security Manager (vISM) for a number of clients, I also handle supplier assessments, DPA and contract reviews, vulnerability tracking, phishing simulations, and ISMS awareness training.If you\'re looking to achieve certification, maintain ongoing compliance, or simply want a pragmatic advisor who can bridge the gap between your security and your business, let\'s connect.
