“Thank you for the opportunity of attending Max's training presentation. I was delighted to attend three day full course presentation by a very intelligent, highly professional and very well prepared trainer. It was a pleasure listen to him: very knowledgable, attendant focus, he used several case studies and involved majority of participants. Never changed a topic without making sure that we are comfortable with the information provided. I wish him all the very best!”

"Needing to get ISO 27001 quickly was a must-have for my firm to win a new deal in the Middle East. My trainer was an experienced consultant who patiently took me from beginner to expert in a remarkably short time. We not only achieved ISO 27001 certification but also use our new ISMS as the framework for managing all cyber security activities.”
