Security & Regulatory Compliance are a pain in the ass painful.
You know security and compliance are critical, but the expectations of regulators and clients just keep growing.
For regulated firms, regulatory “guidance” and regulations like DORA keep adding layers of work (and paperwork) to an already complex area.
For service provider selling into regulated firms, answering detailed security questionnaires from clients and prospects is becoming a full-time job. And even worse, it can feel like nothing is ever good enough.
Stop worrying about this. Let me handle it.
Hi, I’m Sam Glynn.
With over 25 years of experience working with regulated financial services firms and their service providers, I have deep knowledge of cyber & information security, regulatory compliance, governance, risk management, vendor management, and ISO 27001 implementation.
I use a proven process to demystify security & regulations so you can meet the expectations of your regulators, clients & prospects, and protect your pipeline, revenue, and reputation.
My on-demand model ensures you only pay for what you need, and you can increase or decrease my involvement as your needs change.
Less Uncertainty. Less Stress. More Clarity. More Confidence.
If you want to nail this once and for all, let’s talk about a strategy to get your security up to scratch – so you can focus on growth, not guesswork.
Years of experience.
(And I have the hairline to prove it.)
“We engaged Sam Glynn to help us align our IT and cyber security controls to regulatory expectations. Sam consistently demonstrated deep and wide technical skills, but more importantly, exceptional interpersonal skills. Beyond the professional expertise, he was always pragmatic, and on more than one occasion helped us regain momentum by ensuring we focused on the ‘next best action’. This not only made Sam a valuable advisor to our team but also a pleasure to work alongside”.
Ann Kelleher
CEO, Ark Life Assurance.
“We work with large, risk-averse financial services clients. We know our security is critically important to our clients, but we weren’t quite sure what we needed to do. This is why I asked Sam for assistance.
From Day 1, I knew we had made the right decision. Step-by-step and always through plain English, he showed us how we could get from where we were to where we needed to be. The recommendations were always pragmatic and well-grounded. Every action was understandable, achievable, and tied to a clear security benefit.
If you are confused about what appropriate security looks like, what’s important versus what’s just noise, I highly recommend that you engage Sam to define a clear path for your organisation.”
Dan Carroll
COO, Xcentuate
“Too many IT / Cyber Consultants that I have encountered just push the party line and do not consider the audience or organisational situation that they are dealing with. Sam is different. His pragmatism is very refreshing – He was always tuned in to our wavelength in terms of identifying what is practical/possible, given the size and capability of our organisation and the needs of our clients. The structure that Sam brought to the engagement also made it much easier for us to make progress, as it brought real clarity to our current situation and the steps required to get to where we want to be.”

“Sam is the only IT person I know who doesn’t talk out of his a**. He speaks like normal people speak!”
