Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Tarik
You are CTO & executives of a startup - scale-up - SaaS... and sometimes CISO by default.
- You know that cybersecurity has become strategic.
- You are caught between the urgency of the product roadmap & the importance of protecting your clients' data (B2B/DCP).
- You know you can no longer improvise your cybersecurity.
👉 but you have neither the time nor the team to structure it.
💥 Good news: I secure your growth without slowing down your product.
Former consultant, pentester & deputy CISO - I audited more than 150 SaaS & tech startups when I was at your clients'.
My approach aims to:
✅ identify your 5 to 10 major business risks;
✅ prioritize actions that reduce the core of the risk;
✅ implement & monitor a clear security roadmap over 1 to 6 months;
✅ structure understandable and demonstrable cybersecurity to make it a lever for business credibility.
I transform your cybersecurity into a sales & valuation argument.
No theoretical audits.
No 200-page reports.
No oversized tool stack.
No premature costly certifications.
Here we talk product, shift left, Security by Design, DevSecOps, Cloud & AppSec.
I work hand in hand with CTOs, CEOs, and tech & product teams.
