Jayan leads our global Digital Risks Response team, which supports clients through major cyber incidents and related crises. He helps senior leaders define their digital risk management strategies before, during and after major cyber attacks.
He has extensive experience defining digital risk management strategies, building proportionate cyber defences, assessing response plans, and guiding effective crisis decision-making. He has supported hundreds of clients through cyber incidents across the globe, regularly advising them on how to structure their strategic responses while executing the many technical and non-technical workstreams that often run in parallel.
Jayan also works with organisations to proactively improve strategy, process controls and technical defences. He has worked with businesses to build and improve security operations and achieve greater consistency in defences across jurisdictions and changing regulatory regimes. Jayan has worked closely with investors to assess cyber risk during acquisitions and helps them establish and maintain security baselines across their portfolios.
Recent tasks that Jayan has worked on include:
Jayan is a regular public speaker on the topic of cyber incidents and has given evidence as an expert witness to the UK Parliament on the impact of Ransomware attacks.
Before joining Control Risks, Jayan was a cyber security specialist at a Big Four firm, delivering security transformation projects in the energy and resources, finance, insurance, telecoms and media industries.
