Straight answers on NIS2, DORA, the CRA and AI risk.
I help you work out what actually applies to you, in plain language, including the blockchain dependencies DORA guidance hasn't caught up with yet.
The confusion is real, and it's not just you
Scope is broader than it looks
AI use is outrunning any policy
Your customer's obligations become yours
Your DORA file stops at the blockchain
Are you likely in scope?

NIS2 vs DORA: which one applies to you?
A simple way to gate AI use by risk
I'm Leighton. I help organisations work out what Cybersäkerhetslagen, DORA, the CRA and the EU AI Act actually ask of them, and how to get there without a huge programme.
I came to security the long way round. Nine years as a chef, in kitchens across several countries, taught me to work under pressure and not leave until the job's done. Six years as a time-served electrician, including plant-floor work, taught me to start with how things actually run, not how the policy says they run. From there I moved into tech: first a fintech startup, where my interest in security started, then IT deployment work for the NHS.
Today I do risk assessments, NIS2 readiness and AI governance work as an independent consultant. I also build open-source security tools in public, including an OT protocol anomaly detector and a vendor-risk model for NIS2 supply chains, so you can see how I work before we talk.
