Achal L.

I help industrial and critical-infrastructure organisations reduce cyber risk, pass audits, and get real value out of the OT security platforms they have already bought — delivered remotely, without disrupting production. 14+ years in cyber security, most of it where IT security meets the plant floor. I have led OT cyber programmes across 140+ sites for global names including Diageo, Royal Mail, GSK, Accenture and Schneider Electric, and I currently lead cyber/OT programme delivery at Tirlán in Ireland. I have also lived through two major cyber incidents — running containment, recovery and the post-incident rebuild — so my recommendations are shaped by what actually holds up under pressure. What I can do for you: ▸ Remote OT/ICS site assessments — maturity, risk and gap analysis against IEC 62443, NIS2, NIST or CAF, delivered without travel cost ▸ Legislation & compliance readiness — NIS2, ISO 27001, IEC 62443 and EU/UK&I regulatory audit preparation ▸ OT platform implementation & BAU — Claroty, Nozomi, Tenable OT, Armis, Dragos: deployment design, tuning, asset-inventory quality and run-state operating models ▸ AI governance & assessment — AI risk frameworks, responsible-AI policy, EU AI Act readiness and governance reviews ▸ Architecture & segmentation — secure OT network design, IT/OT convergence, secure remote access ▸ Process streamlining — turning heavy security processes into workable, audit-ready business-as-usual Certified CISM, ISA/IEC 62443 Cybersecurity Expert and GAMP 5, with AI governance credentials from Oxford Saïd Business School (AI Ethics, Regulation & Compliance) and IIM Rohtak (AI Product/Marketing Management) — a combination that lets me advise on industrial cyber risk and AI governance in the same engagement. I work in plain business language, not framework jargon: you get prioritised findings, a costed roadmap, and recommendations your engineers will actually accept. Message me with your sector and what's driving the deadline — regulator, customer audit, insurer or incident — and I'll tell you honestly whether I'm the right fit.
