I turn businesses into cyber fortresses

About

I run Atlant Security - a cybersecurity consultancy built for SaaS, fintech, and infrastructure-heavy teams that want enterprise-grade security without enterprise-grade headcount. What that looks like: NIST 800-53 v5-aligned architecture, deep cloud and endpoint audits, and a Virtual CISO (me) embedded in your team until your security posture is something you want investors to scrutinize. Background: Trusted by Microsoft. Consulted for the Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation. Built security programs from Dubai cybercrime frontlines to national infrastructure protection. Our stack is 90% open-source - what actually works for your environment. Most clients see measurable improvement within 30 days. If your next due diligence call or SOC 2 review keeps you up at night → let's fix that.

Experience

  • Founder at Venvera
    Feb 2026 - Present · 6 mos

    Venvera is the GRC platform that makes compliance compound instead of repeat. Manage ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, DORA, NIS2, GDPR, the EU AI Act, CMMC, HIPAA, PCI DSS and more in one system of record. Our cross-framework crosswalk means you provide evidence once and it satisfies every equivalent control automatically. Two things no competitor matches: native Groups of Companies management, so one policy authored centrally applies across every company in your group while each keeps its own evidence; and deep AI integration with Claude, OpenAI and DeepSeek for policy drafting, control mapping and gap analysis. Less spreadsheet chaos. More audit-ready, every day.
