I have worked with Colin on a number of occasions over the last 2-3 years and have found him to be extremely diligent and knowledgeable within the enterprise/security architecture space. Colin has also been an invaluable ally to me in ensuring that information security was built into and reflected within complex delivery programmes. I would have no hesitation in recommending Colin for enterprise architecture or information security/assurance roles in future.
