Hi, I’m Mark

Lead Consultant — Security & Modern Workplace

Background

I’ve been working in IT since the early 2000s — starting out in staffing and contracting before making the move into consultancy. These days I work at HSO as a Lead Consultant, focused on Security and Modern Workplace solutions built on the Microsoft platform.

My day-to-day work revolves around helping organisations strengthen their security posture and modernise the way their people work — covering areas like Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft Intune, Azure, and Microsoft Defender.

This blog is where I share practical insights, solutions, and the occasional deep-dive on topics I encounter in the field. The goal is simple: write the articles I wish had existed when I needed them.
