Dr Gary Hinson PhD MBA is:

IsecT’s owner, CEO and consultant. Having been employed by large multinationals in pharmaceuticals, electricity generation, aerospace, defence, banking and high tech industries since the 1980’s, I formed my own company in 2003, originally in the UK to consult for British and European organisations. I emigrated to New Zealand in 2005.
Passionate about information risk, security and all that - protecting and enhancing the value of information in all forms (not just the IT systems, networks and data!).
Business risk oriented - rather than pushing generic best practices, I would much rather help you figure out what is best for you, your organisation, your business.
Professional and experienced - practicing in this field continuously for nearly 4 decades, I have earned information security, audit and management qualifications along the way, and established a solid reputation among my peers.
Client-focused - in order to add real value, I need to find out about your unique situation and explore your objectives both initially and during assignments.
Advocating for good information risk and security practices captured in the ISO27k and other established standards, frameworks and methods.
Research oriented - I’m a research scientist by background (a geneticist), keen to stay abreast of the fascinating and constantly evolving field of information risk and security, advancing knowledge and practice. EXAMPLE
Strongly pragmatic - tempering theory with practicality and flexibility, finding cost-effective, realistic yet creative solutions to genuine business issues.
Trustworthy, of course. Integrity is a deep-rooted and non-negotiable personal value. I take pride in doing a good job and when I promise or commit to something, I deliver.
A micro-business - with the personal touch. I rarely engage more than one client at a time, allowing me to focus exclusively on the matter at hand.
Keen - to help you surmount difficult challenges, responding to your particular needs. Whether you need a little advice and guidance, or a partner for a longer term engagement, I’ll happily fit in with your requirements.
Open - I provide itemised invoices to account for my time. I don’t charge a minimum or retainer: you will only be charged for the actual hours/days worked.
Cost-effective - this plain no-frills website helps keep my overheads and hence prices down. I would much rather spend on providing top-quality client services.
Sustainable - a biologist by background, I care deeply about the natural environment. Our lifestyle block in rural New Zealand is an ideal home office location. Ask me about the trees, goats, deer and sheep!
