Our latest IT audit left several critical findings open—specifically around Backups, Database Management, Disaster Recovery, Security, and overall IT Governance. I need an experienced consultant who can quickly assess each of these gaps, explain the underlying causes, and present a pragmatic remediation roadmap that balances short-term fixes with sustainable controls. In parallel, I want a fresh look at our day-to-day procedures for Security, IT Governance, and General Project Delivery. The objective is to tighten oversight, introduce measurable KPIs, and implement a monitoring framework that gives real-time visibility without slowing delivery. Here’s what success looks like: • A concise assessment report summarising current deficiencies and associated risks for every audit finding listed above. • A prioritised action plan with timelines, owners, and recommended tools or configurations (e.g., backup retention policies, database hardening steps, DR run-book updates, AD permission reviews). • Updated procedural documents for Security, IT Governance, and Project Delivery, each embedding clear monitoring checkpoints and escalation paths. • A walkthrough meeting with key stakeholders to validate the plan and refine next steps. I’m ready to move fast, so please outline your methodology, any frameworks or toolsets you prefer (e.g., NIST, ISO 27001, ITIL, PowerShell, SQL Server Management Studio, Veeam, etc.), and a realistic timeline to reach the first set of deliverables.

Hi, I’m an experienced IT consultant with a strong background in IT audits, remediation, and governance alignment using frameworks like ISO 27001, NIST, and ITIL. Critical audit gaps in areas like backups, DR, and database security often stem from fragmented ownership or undocumented processes—I’ve addressed this by implementing clear runbooks, permission reviews, and policy-based automation (e.g., with Veeam, PowerShell, and SSMS). My methodology includes a gap assessment phase, risk scoring, and a remediation plan with ownership, KPIs, and escalation protocols built into updated procedural docs. I’ve led similar initiatives where audit closure and real-time monitoring were achieved without adding operational overhead. Let’s get your audit findings closed with controls that stick and scale. Thanks, Hercules

Hi there, Your ICT governance challenge caught my eye. I've been an executive responsible for implementing and maintaining compliance frameworks that satisfy regulators, auditors and shareholders, so I understand exactly what you're facing. As Compliance Head at an ASX-listed firm, I built AML/CTF frameworks, managed ASIC relationships, and ensured Corporations Act and regulatory adherence. I also represented the firm at Mining Indaba several times, and have a solid working knowledge of the South African environment. More recently, I've overseen the corporate aspects of DevOps, network administration, and systems architecture across multiple tech companies as an executive who had to justify ROI and business impact. You mentioned wanting someone who can ‘quickly assess gaps, explain underlying causes, and present pragmatic remediation’ - this is where my background lies. I'm detail-obsessed and have overseen service management, compliance programs, and risk assessment frameworks. I also recently completed my law degree with a Faculty Medal, including specialisation in Data Protection and Technology Law, so I can ensure your governance frameworks align with current privacy and compliance requirements. Given you need to move fast and I'm building my Freelancer profile, I'm flexible within your budget to ensure great mutual value. I'm Australian-based (Melbourne), so communication/collaboration will be seamless. Looking forward to hearing from you. Kind regards, -Chris
