Security Consulting for Hardware, Networks, and Complex Systems
Independent, expert-led security assessments across embedded systems, infrastructure, and threat modelling—trusted in sensitive and regulated environments.
I provide high-trust, insight-driven security consulting services for organisations developing or operating complex technical systems. My focus spans hardware and embedded platforms, network architectures, and threat modelling—offering design-level assessment and advisory without unnecessary overhead.
Clients include SMEs, global enterprises, critical national infrastructure providers, government-related organisations, and defence contractors. I work independently, bringing the ability to quickly understand complex systems and deliver clear, actionable recommendations.
All work is performed with discretion, and I operate within environments that require sensitivity, security assurance, and vetting.
Services
Hardware & Embedded System Security Review
Assessment of physical hardware, embedded architectures, wireless and RF systems, interface ports, MCU/SoC selection, and communication protocols. Designed to identify design-stage risks and inform secure product development.
Threat Modelling Facilitation & Review
Support for building or reviewing threat models using structured methodologies (e.g. STRIDE, PASTA), focused on real-world attacker perspectives, trust boundaries, and mitigation prioritisation. Suitable for both greenfield systems and existing deployments.
Network & Infrastructure Security Design Review
Design-level assessment of network segmentation, inter-zone connectivity, remote access, and infrastructure exposure. Covers internal and external interfaces, routing, and defensive architecture patterns.
Custom Engagements
Engagements can be tailored to your system architecture, integration model, or development stage. I can assist with risk-driven decisions for emerging systems, and review critical changes prior to deployment.
Experience and Trust
Clients trust me to assess and advise on systems operating in high-assurance and regulated environments. My experience includes:
- Working within environments requiring security vetting and confidentiality
- Supporting product teams developing bespoke hardware and embedded platforms
- Reviewing infrastructure designs for both on-premises and hybrid deployments
- Advising on systems with national security, compliance, or resilience requirements
I understand the operational and technical constraints faced by both engineering teams and security stakeholders.
Reporting
Each engagement includes clearly defined deliverables, aligned to your project goals, audience, and technical context. These may include:
- A short risk summary for technical decision-making
- A structured technical report with findings and recommendations
- Annotated diagrams or architecture commentary
- Optionally, a review or handover session
Reporting scope is defined during the project initiation phase. I adapt the format and depth to match your team’s needs—executive, engineering, or compliance-focused.
