Cybersecurity Strategy Consulting and Project Management for an airline that was in its start-up phase in the Middle East on behalf of Accenture.
My duties included the following:
- Leading the Cyber GRC project to build the cybersecurity function for an aviation client, filling a critical security gap and laying groundwork for sustained cyber resilience.
- Developing and implementing a cybersecurity strategy and roadmap aligned with ISO 27001 and region-specific regulations.
- Executing a specialised threat profiling exercise, developing a unique threat landscape and identifying risks and vulnerabilities specific to the aviation sector.
- Creating a detailed cybersecurity strategy and roadmap with an executive summary, ensuring alignment with client objectives and clarity for C-suite stakeholders.
Key outcomes included:
- Established a cybersecurity function from the ground up, giving the client a formal security posture where none previously existed.

- Positioned the client for long-term cyber resilience rather than reactive, ad hoc security responses.
