Summary

I am a freelance Senior Consultant for information security, Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC), and ICT risk management, with IT and project experience dating back to 1996. My industry focus is on banks, insurance companies, energy companies, and industrial and pharmaceutical companies in the DACH region.

I support clients in establishing and developing ISMS in line with ISO/IEC 27001, managing information security risks in line with ISO/IEC 27005, and Business Continuity Management in line with ISO 22301. Other areas of focus include implementing DORA requirements, third-party risk management, and audit preparation. I also have knowledge of AI management systems (AIMS) in line with ISO/IEC 42001 and work with the requirements of the EU AI Act and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).

I combine technical understanding with structured documentation and clear coordination between business units, IT, and external service providers. I am looking for consulting engagements and project or subproject leadership roles where I can assess risks, guide the implementation of effective measures, and further develop information security and operational resilience.
