Vince Picton
I help businesses meet cybersecurity requirements, prepare for audits and win contracts — without the complexity.
I'm Vince Picton, a CISSP-qualified cybersecurity consultant and qualified ISO 27001 Lead Auditor with over 30 years' experience in technology, including more than a decade specialising in information security.
I run Unity Metrix, an approved Cyber Essentials certification body, and help organisations of all sizes tackle cybersecurity and compliance challenges with confidence.
Whether you need to understand your risks, prepare for an audit, achieve Cyber Essentials certification, strengthen security controls or meet a customer's requirements, I offer clear, practical guidance grounded in real assessment experience.
My expertise spans governance, risk and compliance (GRC), ISO 27001 readiness, Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus, security assessments, policies and third-party assurance.
I believe good security should support your business, not slow it down. Expect straightforward advice, sensible priorities and no unnecessary complexity.
