The Shamrock story

Today I proudly launch my company Shamrock Information Security.
Why this name? Unmistakably the name has an Irish origin shrouded in Irish mystery, tradition and religious history.
But what does this have to do with modern day information security?

My more then 15 years background in information (IT) security is based on more then this area of expertise and actually encompasses in total three area’s:

  1. Information Security
  2. Privacy Law
  3. Risk Management

The shamrock or three-leafed clover was used by Saint Patrick to explain christianity to the Irish people. I have no Irish roots nor a religious background, but it is one of my favourite countries to visit and as my parents played lots of Dubliners tapes (original recordings) in the car when I was young, it isn’t hard to see where my Irish connection comes from.
Couple this to the fact that my work may force me to explain my area’s of expertise in a format that is easily understood and the link between the shamrock and my work may become visible for you as well.
The logo represents a stylish version of three layered Shamrock’s , offset from each other to signify my three distinct but yet complementary fields of expertise.

Testimonials

IFS, DPC & GDPR

We were introduced to Shamrock Information Security during the development of the AVTN.TV Television News Project. As the projected demands on our systems; need to protect the company from Cyber Attacks; and ensure corporate practices were GDPR compliant increased, Shamrock became invaluable in advising us on the necessary structures and requirements. Their work is most evident within the relevant pages of the AVTN.TV Investment Proposal. I highly recommend their services, and wouldn’t hesitate to commission them in the future.

Great advice on all things to do with privacy and information security

I’ve worked with a lot of privacy and InfoSec professionals over the past couple of decades but few of them had minds as sharp and knowledgeable as those at Shamrock. For insightful and focussed advice on security/privacy matters, Shamrock is hard to beat!

Training Feedback

Very knowledgeable trainer nice venue plenty of interaction possible.

GDPR Institute

CIPP/E training

I have a lot of experience this field, but there are always areas you are stronger and weaker on. Shamrock covered the exam content thoroughly, such that I was able to focus on the areas that would benefit from some revision.

I would recommend Shamrock training courses for beginners and experts alike.
