Following 8 years in the Royal Signals, Nick spent three years with Logica Space and Defence on projects such as the Logica Computer Security Evaluation Facility. He then founded Strategic Thought Group (STG) in 1987 providing services to organisations deploying enterprise software solutions across a wide range of sectors including government, defence, retail, transport and telecoms.
Nick then founded Policy Monitor, which is developing a solution to address the cyber security issues faced by both large and small organizations. CSPM was thus created to develop and deliver a cloud based solution that enables organisations to define and implement their security policy, audit compliance and respond effectively in the event of a Cyber security attack.
