About
GRCMana
Hi, I'm Harry
My mission is to enable the Next Generation of Cyber Warriors with the skills, strategies and tools to unlock the power of your cyber resilience in the cloud.
My background
Like many, my journey started in traditional IT. Then in 2009, I was introduced to the wonderful world of cloud and never looked back.
Cyber security, GRC and cyber resilience has played an integral role in both my career and my life. It's not just a job for me - its a passion. I am fascinated by the role they play in enabling organisations to create business value.
But my cyber career has been an unconventional one. I am not degree educated, I do not have a long list of badges. I'm not a Doctor or self-professed guru.
What I am is a technologist and security leader with 20+ years experience working with some of the biggest brands in the world - helping them empower their people to embrace technology, that helps built a more secure future.
Discover the story behind GRCMANA...
[GRC-mana] brings together two of my passions - GRC and Polynesian culture.
Let me explain.
During my time in New Zealand, I fell in love with Maori and Polynesian culture. I learned that Mana is the foundation of Polynesian theology.
It is this supernatural force that implies that you have the ability to perform in a given situation.
This concept not only resonated personally - but professionally as well.
When I reflected on my journey as a technologist and as a security leader, I realised that Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC) has tremendous power.
The power to protect your people.
The power to protect your business.
The power to protect communities - and society as a whole.
It is the ability to perform in a given situation, regardless of any unintended events that may arise.
That is why I created GRCMana.
It is my way of sharing my 20+ years of learning, knowledge, successes and mistakes.
It is my way of enabling the Next Generation of Warriors with the skills, strategies and tools you need to unlock the power of your cyber resilience in the cloud.
