Managing Director and Trusted Advisor at ODCUS
ODCUS makes sure AI works alongside people in the day-to-day operations of Swiss SMEs while keeping their data secure: vendor-independent, pragmatic and without hidden agendas. We make a company's knowledge useful to AI, automate workflows and protect what matters.
I transform IT from a cost factor into a competitive advantage. As the founder of ODCUS, I advise Swiss SMEs and mid-sized companies—independently, with a focus on results and without hidden agendas.
What drives me: Too many companies invest in technology without knowing its business value. That is where we come in: we always advise on IT in the context of the business and its success.
My focus areas:

- Compliance – NIS2, ISO 27001, EU AI Act without excessive bureaucracy
- IT costs – Create transparency, eliminate waste
- AI – From pilot project to measurable value creation

About the technology
Cloud foundations
Cloud Security protects cloud-hosted data, applications, identities and infrastructure from unauthorized access, misuse and disruption. It combines secure design, preventive controls, continuous monitoring and incident response across public, private and hybrid environments.
Platforms and tooling
Specialists work across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, adapting controls to each provider’s services and shared-responsibility model. Their toolkit may include Microsoft Defender for Cloud, AWS Security Hub, Google Security Command Center, SIEM platforms, CSPM, CNAPP and infrastructure-as-code scanning.
- Identity and access management with least-privilege policies
- Network segmentation, private endpoints and secure connectivity
- Secrets management, encryption and key lifecycle controls
- Container, Kubernetes and serverless workload protection
- Policy checks in Terraform and CI/CD pipelines
Common deliverables
Companies bring in Cloud Security professionals to turn broad security goals into working controls and evidence. Typical assignments include:
- Cloud security assessments and threat models
- Landing-zone guardrails and account or subscription design
- IAM reviews, privileged-access controls and access clean-up
- Logging, detection rules and incident-response playbooks
- Migration security for data platforms and business applications
When expertise matters
Freelance support is useful during cloud migration, multi-cloud expansion, platform consolidation or a major compliance review. It also helps when teams face unclear ownership, repeated misconfigurations, weak visibility or security findings that remain unresolved. In Switzerland, collaboration may combine remote delivery with on-site workshops and clear communication across local business units.
Skills that connect
Strong Cloud Security work reaches beyond a single provider. It often involves zero-trust architecture, network security, DevSecOps, Kubernetes, containers, Linux, identity governance, data protection and security operations. Familiarity with ISO 27001, SOC 2 or industry-specific controls helps specialists translate technical safeguards into reviewable processes without treating compliance as a substitute for real risk reduction.
What good looks like
Effective professionals explain risk in operational terms and design controls that teams can maintain after handover. They document decisions, test permissions, validate alerts and show how a control behaves in production. Look for evidence of secure cloud migrations, practical automation, clear incident scenarios and the ability to work constructively with application, infrastructure and compliance teams.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Cloud Security? Start with the answers below.
Cloud Security is used to protect cloud identities, workloads, networks, applications and data. It helps companies prevent unauthorized access, detect suspicious activity, recover from incidents and demonstrate that important controls are operating.
Cloud Security assumes that infrastructure is highly programmable, distributed and changed through APIs or deployment pipelines. It therefore places strong emphasis on identity, configuration management, automation, provider responsibilities and continuous monitoring rather than relying mainly on fixed network boundaries.
A strong Cloud Security specialist usually understands IAM, network design, DevSecOps, Terraform, containers, Kubernetes and security monitoring. Experience with incident response, data protection and compliance frameworks is also valuable when controls must work across business and technical teams.
The right level depends on the risk and scope, not on a fixed tenure. A focused IAM review may need a narrow specialist, while a multi-cloud redesign or incident-readiness programme calls for proven experience across architecture, automation, detection and stakeholder coordination.
Yes, much of Cloud Security can be delivered remotely through secure access, workshops and documented reviews. On-site sessions may still help with sensitive architecture decisions, incident exercises or collaboration with teams that expect local presence and strong language alignment.
Ask for a clear method, relevant delivery examples and tangible outputs such as risk registers, tested policies, diagrams, alert logic and handover documentation. Good Cloud Security work connects each recommendation to a realistic threat, an accountable owner and a control that can be verified.
Cloud Security decisions should follow the environment’s risks, operating model and existing skills. Native controls often provide strong provider integration and useful context, while independent tools may offer broader multi-cloud visibility or specialised detection; a specialist should assess overlap before adding complexity.
Before starting Cloud Security work, clarify the cloud providers, account structure, data sensitivity, regulatory expectations, access model and current monitoring. Agreeing on scope, evidence handling, change approvals and the definition of a secure handover prevents avoidable delays.
