CRAIG ALLAN-MCWILLIAMS

I am a security professional collaborating with international organisations providing specialist expertise on cyber security topics. With over two decades specialising in information security, I advise and lead architecture design, security engineering, data security, threat modelling, security incident response, product management, through to the full suite of risk assessment, regulatory compliance and governance activities. I work with early stage startups in the technology space in London, providing non-profit consultancy and guidance on cyber security, compliance and governance topics.

Noteworthy projects include leading the product development for cloud security operations for Chase UK Bank and Westpac at 10x Future Technologies, security product ownership for Sainsbury’s security transformation, Assistant CISO at Amer Sports and overseeing enterprise security architecture for Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals Service at the UK Ministry of Justice. My collaboration is primarily with C-Level executives, particularly CTOs, CIOs, and CISOs, and specialise in enhancing IT and information security capabilities through new technologies.

Certifications

I maintain active certifications in CISSP, CCSK, CISMP, AWS Security Speciality, AI Governance certified and a number of MITRE ATT&CK certifications. Previous certifications allowed to expire due to no relevance or certification retirement by organisations, such as C|CISO, CEH, CESG Certified Professional Information Assurance Architect and Security and Information Risk Advisor.

Personal Bio

I enjoy hands on security engineering and security defence, and regularly take part in hackathons, capture the flag red and blue team events, attacking and defending complex digital environments. I have a deep personal interest in machine learning and large language models, building specialised models and following government and corporate development in AGI.
