Toro Solutions’ Post

Next on our meet the team is Katie Barnett, our fantastic Director of Cyber Security. Katie leads Toro’s Cyber Security function where she drives forward best practice and ensures the highest quality of standards are delivered. As a consultant Katie operates at Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) level, providing board level expertise to our clients. This includes assessing their cyber security maturity and conducting gap analyses against industry standards such as Cyber Essentials, ISO 27001, NIST, SOC 2, CAIQ, and CAF. Katie’s talent is in distilling complex environments down to deliver simple, robust solutions that address cyber, physical and people security. We asked Katie what she liked about her role and what her best piece of security advice is. “I love the opportunity to understand the complexity of our clients' businesses in order to identify where they might be vulnerable so we can make practical, effective recommendations to improve security posture. My tip is to embed security processes into your day-to-day operations because I believe very strongly that cyber security should enable and strengthen the business, not create hurdles.” #ToroSolutions #MeetTheTeam #CyberSecurity
