Dr Mohamed A.

ISO 27001 & ISO 42001 Compliance | AI-Powered Cybersecurity | vCISO

I help organizations get audit-ready for ISO 27001 and ISO 42001, and I build AI-powered security that keeps them protected day to day. I'm Dr. Mohamed Atef, founder of InfoSec4TC in Dubai. For 20+ years I've secured government, public-sector, emergency-services, higher-education, and technology organizations across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and worldwide, turning security and compliance into working systems that pass real audits, not paperwork that sits in a drawer. I'm CISSP-certified and back every engagement with a team holding CISM, CISA, and ISO 27001 Lead Auditor/Implementer credentials, so you always get the right specialist on your project. How I can help: • ISO/IEC 27001: gap analysis, implementation, and certification support • ISO/IEC 42001: AI governance (I led a national-scale AI certification) • Security & compliance audits: ISO, NIST, GDPR, NESA/NCA • Virtual CISO: ongoing security leadership on a monthly retainer • Data classification & DLP across email, endpoint, and cloud • AI-powered SOC & GRC on open-source tools (Wazuh, Shuffle, MISP, eRamba): enterprise-grade protection without enterprise licensing costs I've trained 120,000+ professionals and built CS365, an AI-driven compliance platform, so you get both hands-on expertise and the automation to stay compliant year-round. I work fluently in Arabic (my native language), English, and French, so I can run engagements, workshops, and documentation in whichever language your team needs. Let's start with a free 30-minute call. I'll tell you exactly what your audit or security gap will take: scope, timeline, and cost.
