Last position:
Information Security & GRC Expert at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group)
As a Council Member at GLG (Gerson Lehrman Group), the world’s leading expert network, I provide organizations, investment firms, and consulting companies with expert discussions on demand – wherever specialized knowledge in information security, IT governance, and regulatory compliance is needed.
My assessments are based on many years of practical experience in highly regulated industries: from building and implementing information security management systems (ISMS according to ISO 27001), IT risk and vulnerability management, and business continuity (ISO 22301) to the practical implementation of European regulations such as DORA, NIS2, BAIT, and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA).
The cooperation is project- and discussion-based. I provide decision-makers with a practical perspective gained from real-world experience on cyber risks, security governance, and operational resilience – exactly when it is needed.

Enrique G.
Last position:
Security Architect at Capgemini
I implemented a Zero-Trust architecture for robust, military-grade maritime container mini data centers based on VMware & Tanzu to support containerized GIS workloads for ground forces. The main focus was on securing communications, workload protection, and data access in contested electronic battle environments affected by jamming, interception, signal manipulation, and constantly changing operational conditions. I designed and architected use cases so that every element of workload, identity, and system could continue to operate independently and securely even in degraded or disrupted scenarios. In parallel, I defined the enterprise and solution security architecture with LeanIX, Bizzdesign, and HOPEX as enterprise architecture, repository, and governance platforms to maintain architecture inventory, relationships, traceability, target pictures, and security governance in complex environments. For the architectural designs, I used Sparx Enterprise Architect to describe formal architecture views, interfaces, trust boundaries, and system architecture in both IT and OT environments. IriusRisk was used for threat modeling of the solution to identify architecture-driven risks, derive security requirements, and detect countermeasures and design gaps directly from the solution models. Risk and compliance management was supported with Archer. Architecture decisions, control gaps, and operational risks were translated into controlled governance and auditable compliance measures. For documentation, collaboration, and visual design, I used Confluence to maintain Architecture Decision Records, Security Blueprints, and workflows. I used Lucidchart and draw.io to create design artifacts tailored to stakeholders. I also defined OT security concepts with support from electrical and mechanical engineers in the areas of oil, vehicle onboard systems, rail, power plants, pharma, gas turbines, and nuclear technology. I created the end-to-end OT security strategy, starting with global policy, developed into standards and procedures, and finally aligned with Bell-LaPadula, Purdue Model, SABSA, TOGAF ADM, CENELEC 50701, IEC 62443, and NIST standards. In addition, I worked with engineering team leads to identify critical KBP assets and place them under protective measures that segmented SCADA, PLC, and HMI assets. I drove collaboration between Security, IT, and OT teams to create standardized workflows and use cases for the OT security solution catalog, while integrating Defense-in-Depth and Zero-Trust principles into operational environments. A key part of my work was integrating multidisciplinary engineering, security, and operations stakeholders into a unified security blueprinting strategy and ensuring that architecture, threat modeling, governance, and documentation were technically strong and operationally practical.

About the technology
What ISO 27001 covers
ISO 27001, formally ISO/IEC 27001, is the international standard for an information security management system. It gives organisations a structured way to identify risks, select controls, assign responsibilities, and improve security over time. Certification demonstrates that security is managed through a defined, auditable process rather than isolated technical measures.
Where it is used
Companies apply ISO 27001 to protect information across internal operations, cloud services, software products, and supplier relationships. It is common in technology, financial services, healthcare, logistics, manufacturing, and professional services where customers need evidence of controlled information security.
- Establish an information security management system
- Prepare for a readiness review or certification audit
- Assess suppliers, assets, threats, and business risks
- Define controls, policies, and evidence requirements
Standards and tooling
Strong work combines the standard with risk management, governance, privacy, and operational security. Experts may use GRC platforms, asset registers, risk logs, policy repositories, ticketing systems, audit workflows, and security monitoring tools. Useful adjacent knowledge includes ISO 27002, business continuity, incident response, access management, cloud security, and data protection obligations.
When to bring in expertise
Freelance support is useful when an organisation is starting its ISMS, expanding into regulated markets, responding to customer security questionnaires, or preparing for an external audit. It can also help when internal teams lack time to document controls, gather evidence, close findings, or translate technical practices into auditable procedures.
- Security responsibilities are unclear across teams
- Policies exist but are not linked to operating evidence
- Risk assessments are inconsistent or out of date
- Audit findings remain open without clear owners
What strong professionals deliver
A capable specialist connects business objectives to proportionate controls. They create a clear scope, practical risk methodology, control mapping, statement of applicability, policy set, treatment plans, and audit evidence. They also establish ownership and routines so the ISMS works after the engagement ends, not only during certification preparation.
Working with Hamburg teams
Hamburg companies can engage ISO 27001 specialists for on-site workshops, remote evidence reviews, or a blended approach. Effective collaboration depends on access to process owners, technical contacts, and decision-makers, plus clear documentation in the working language. A strong professional adapts communication to both local stakeholders and international customers or auditors.
Frequently asked questions
Curious about ISO 27001? Here are the answers that come up again and again.
ISO 27001 is used to establish and continually improve an information security management system. It helps an organisation manage risks to information, define suitable controls, demonstrate accountability, and prepare for independent certification.
ISO/IEC 27001 specifies requirements for an auditable information security management system, while ISO 27002 provides guidance for implementing security controls. SOC 2 is an assurance framework based on service criteria and an auditor’s report, so the right choice depends on customer expectations, operating model, and target markets.
A strong ISO 27001 specialist often understands risk assessment, internal audit, supplier assurance, business continuity, incident response, privacy, and cloud security. Experience with GRC tools, access reviews, evidence collection, and security questionnaires is also valuable.
The right level depends on the ISMS scope, organisational complexity, existing controls, and audit readiness. A smaller scoped engagement may need focused documentation and evidence support, while a complex environment requires professionals who can lead risk decisions, coordinate stakeholders, and manage audit remediation.
ISO 27001 work is often suitable for remote collaboration because interviews, document reviews, risk workshops, and evidence tracking can be handled online. On-site sessions may still help with process discovery, leadership workshops, or validating how controls operate in physical locations.
Hamburg companies should agree on working hours, documentation standards, access rules, and the expected balance of remote and on-site work. German and English communication may both matter when teams, suppliers, customers, or auditors operate across borders.
Look for a clear ISMS scope, traceable risk decisions, practical control ownership, and evidence that reflects real operations. A reliable ISO 27001 professional explains gaps plainly, avoids unnecessary controls, and leaves behind processes that teams can maintain.
Typical ISO 27001 deliverables include the ISMS scope, context and interested-party analysis, risk methodology, risk register, treatment plan, statement of applicability, policies, control records, audit plan, and remediation log. The exact set should reflect the organisation’s scope and certification objectives rather than a generic document package.
