What people say about us

Val P.

Portfolio Director

“If you are looking for a security expert who gets things done, Troy is definitely the one. But that’s not all—Troy can strike the perfect balance between security requirements and user freedom, ensuring people don’t hate their lives while working with company-provided hardware and tools. :)”

Stephen T.

Senior Business Leader and Advisor

“Troy quickly cemented our approach to ISO 27001 certification, implemented a strategic risk management framework for the business as a whole, and essentially transformed what was just a collection of ad hoc policies into a full security function.

Iponweb was a pioneering technology-led company, employing many brilliant (and strong-minded!) engineers. Troy needed all his considerable domain expertise and diplomatic skills to get us where we needed to go. He acted throughout with great skill and humour and was a very popular member of the team.”

Jim N.

Chief Information Security Officer

“Recommendations are often full of sincere comments about how professional someone was, and how they possessed a mastery of the toolset required to do their job.

My recommendation for Troy goes beyond that because, simply put, Troy has to be one of the best people I have ever worked with. He doesn’t just possess the technical knowledge to succeed in Information Security, he knows how to apply it, he knows how to communicate it to others and he embodies the spirit of collaboration and teamwork.”
