I am the Founder and Managing Director of ESID Consulting, a boutique Insider Threat Management, Cyber / Information Security, GDPR and Business Continuity Consultancy. As a Metropolitan Police Officer I was the "sole" Professional Standards and Anti-Corruption Network Investigator, responsible for all internal investigations concerning leakage of information from the force network. I also sat on Technical and Security Advisory Boards tasked with ensuring governance and auditability of all MPS IT systems I established and ran the MPS insider threat monitoring solution, targeting malicious user behaviour and activity and advised at Intelligence meetings in such matters. I have extensive and specialist experience in dealing with the Insider Threat, Internal Corruption, major enquiries and "Hate Crimes" (Domestic Violence, Harassment, Stalking, Racial and Homophobic Crime). As a consultant I am an experienced Head of Digital Forensics, having established and led the Digital Forensics and Intelligence Laboratories for the UK Competition and Markets Authority (CMA).
