Paul Flatt

I am a seasoned cybersecurity leader and vCISO with extensive international experience, having supported organisations across Australia, the United Kingdom, Germany, Singapore, and New Zealand. My career has spanned more than four decades in information technology and cybersecurity, where I have advised both mid-sized businesses and large enterprises on how to establish, uplift, and maintain robust security postures.

My background includes leading ISO 27001 certification and compliance programs, executing large-scale risk assessments, designing and delivering security governance frameworks, and managing Security Operations initiatives. I work closely with executive leadership to translate risk into actionable strategy, often building GRC capability from the ground up or enhancing it for regulatory alignment.

I've delivered vCISO services to clients across varied sectors, including financial, infrastructure, managed services, and technology. In doing so, I’ve built security roadmaps, matured vulnerability management programs, enabled compliance with GDPR and NIST frameworks, and helped guide organisational transformation with Zero Trust principles and cloud-first strategies.

In every engagement, my goal is to create lasting value, ensuring cybersecurity not only supports business goals but also strengthens trust with clients, partners, and stakeholders.
