Testimonials

Anthony Davis, Information Security Awareness Manager - Ocado

"We were looking for someone to explain to our workforce how a security awareness & culture study can be used to understand how security affects staff workflow and productivity, how we can minimise friction, develop a modern security user experience and ultimately foster positive and lasting change.

Mo was a guest on our internal podcast where we had a great discussion around culture studies, risk, emerging threats and most importantly human behaviour. This has been received brilliantly by our colleagues and has really changed the narrative on our culture study.

Mo’s insight was accessible, understandable, clear but it was the empathy that stood out for me. To succeed in security awareness I feel that you need to empathise with the end user and see life through their eyes, something Mo clearly does with ease.

Thank you Mo and we look forward to having you back again soon!"

Sarah Janes, Owner & CEO - Layer 8 Limited

"Mo is awesome to work with!

He has a clear and deep understanding of culture and change, meaning he can craft well designed security culture initiatives with strategic links and measures.

I have also found Mo to be an excellent workshop facilitator and speaker, he is engaging, lively, and knowledgeable.

Mo is great at bringing new perspectives, ideas and research to enliven dull security awareness programmes and ensure they are effective in engaging people and reducing risk."

Paul Watts, former CISO - Market data and analytics sector

"Mo's 'sixth sense' for identifying opportunities to improve security culture is impressive; he established some quick wins for us and laid out for us a robust strategy for moving the dial. The first company-wide event he organised achieved many hundred voluntary attendees, with fantastic feedback.

His business-first, jargon-free approach makes him relatable to all stakeholders and makes him a pleasure to work with. I've no hesitation in recommending Mo and look forward to working with him again."

Des Massicott, CISO - RX Global

"Cyber Guidance was engaged to provide their expertise on our security culture journey. Their support was invaluable; from strategy development right through to the execution of tactical and operational initiatives all whilst sensitively engaging with and influencing senior stakeholders.

Mo’s professionalism combined with his positive and pragmatic approach is a breath of fresh air. His insight and experience in this space is second to none and I have no hesitation in recommending Mo and Cyber Guidance."

Christian Toon, former CISO - Pinsent Masons

"Cyber Guidance came recommended through Restricted Intelligence, as one of their trusted business partners who is familiar with their content and applying behavioural change in a security context into organisations. After researching Mo Amin’s credentials and reputation it reassured me of his outstanding professionalism and success in the ‘Security Culture Behaviour Maturity’ field.

Mo was engaged for 6 months to start our awareness campaign whilst we hired a head of security engagement to lead on our initiatives. His energy, pragmatism and experience were truly first rate.

He was comfortable in engaging with varying levels of seniority as well as working with operational teams to deliver. His output and the foundation he laid during his time here was fantastic and I have no problem in recommending Mo and Cyber Guidance."

Denise Beardon, former Head of Information Security Engagement - Pinsent Masons

"Cyber Guidance was contracted into the Information Security team to help launch our behavioural change programme.

They were instrumental in helping to set up and implement an information security culture study. Keen strategists their campaign knowledge is second to none.

Mo Amin was also a great advocate for the programme and made several important inroads with our key stakeholders.

A fantastic individual to work with, we would highly recommend having him on your team."
