Adviza Consultants Ltd Announces New Addition To Information Assurance Consultancy Team

Jan. 4, 2010 - PRLog -- Information security consultancy Adviza Consultants is further bolstering its Information Assurance team with the addition of further experienced CLAS consultancy resources.

Adviza is delighted to be able to add Roger Smith, a hugely experienced information security consultant, to its ranks.  Roger joins Adviza in early January 2010 following over ten years service in the industry, and prior to that an illustrious career in the Royal Air Force.

Roger has been accredited to the CESG Listed Advisor Scheme (CLAS) since 1999, and is a certified Government Practitioner within the Cabinet Office Infosec & Training Paths Competencies  (ITPC) scheme.  He is a professional member of the British Computer Society (MBCS), and is Secretary of its Information Security Specialist Group (BCS-ISSG).  As a Senior CLAS Consultant, Roger will be playing a major role in several ongoing high-profile projects, as well as helping the business achieve its growth plans in the coming year.

Adviza Consultants provides information security assurance, resilience, continuity and related services to both public and private sector customers from its base in Camberley, Surrey, and has enjoyed significant growth in business volumes and customers throughout 2009.  It is becoming widely known as one of the best independent suppliers of practical and pragmatic information security expertise to the private and public sectors.

This senior level appointment underpins Adviza’s commitment to the growing government Information Assurance marketplace and will enable it to capitalise on opportunities as the private sector emerges from the current recession.

Piers Wilson, Managing Principal Consultant, commented:
“The business forecasts we are seeing, and the number of organisations with whom we are having in-depth partnership discussions, mean that there has never been a better time to augment our capabilities; Roger will be a welcome addition who will bring considerable experience and talent to an already first rate capability."

Director, John Bartlett, added:
"There will always be a place in a growing practice for someone of Roger's calibre - we are delighted to have him on board.  Adviza is continuing its growth in 2010 and is expecting to make several further strategic appointments as the year progresses."
