Testimonials

I worked with Michael on a verification task for a mutual customer. The task involved a large amount of arcane details, so I expected the activity to be taxing. However, Michael dealt with it in such a friendly, quick and professional manner that the whole job was accomplished with little effort. Should our companies get a similar assignment later, I hope Michael will be available to do the auditor part again.

I worked with Mike for a number of years at Sysnet Global Solutions while I was engaged in PCI DSS work as a QSA. He is an excellent QSA, and a highly knowledgeable Information and Cyber Security specialist. More than that he is friendly and approachable and I always knew I could go to him with a problem or dilemma. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike and would not hesitate to recommend him both as a friend and colleague.

Peter Burgess

It was pleasure working with Mike. Mike is very experienced QSA. He assessed my company for PCI DSS / PA-DSS / P2PE. I learned a lot during the assessment. He was very clear with current situation, requirements and remedial actions. It was his guidance which made it possible for us to achieve PCI accreditation. Thanks for your help and support Mike.

Michael and I worked together to help Nationwide achieve PCI DSS compliance. Michael was the PCI QSA/PA QSA for a number of functional areas that I was working on. Michael has rich experience in PCI domain; he played paramount role in helping Nationwide achieve PCI compliance by providing guidance/direction to myself and my team throughout the assessment life cycle. Along with high professional ethics and standards, Michael has pleasant attitude and great sense of humour. One thing that struck me was – whenever I asked a question to Michael, instead of giving the answer on platter, he would ask few questions back that helped me arrive at the answer myself. This process helped us learn a great deal about PCI and grow professionally. Michael is an absolute pleasure to work with and a great asset to any organisation.
