Jeff has been a security partner for us for more than ten years, providing effective assessment and advice throughout this time. Initially he became a trusted auditor for our PCI DSS compliance, quickly establishing a good understanding of our business to be able to apply the Standard effectively. Later, his assistance in migrating our process to align with the ISO 27001 standard provided many benefits and we have received no issues from the independent auditor. His style immediately puts people at ease, whilst allowing the underlying message to be delivered in an effective manner.
