Defining, developing and implementing practical and achievable security management frameworks tailored to the context and needs of our client’s business.

Assisting clients with managing and addressing security aspects of external bids and proposals, thus reducing business risk and exposure.
Leveraging over 25 years of industry experience to help clients to assess, deconstruct and reassemble business workflows, procedures and practices to better support business objectives.
We are currently working with clients to:
- Conduct current state assessment of security posture (covering information security best practice, GDPR and NISD)
- Develop realistic and appropriate security management frameworks, and establish an effective baseline for data privacy
- Assess and propose actions to support client’s desire to move to service-based delivery model
At the core of our philosophy is that business improvement is a perpetual cycle of discovery, assessment and action rather than a linear process with a beginning and an end.

Geraint formed New Element Consulting to offer a service that helps clients improve their business by providing sound advice and guidance without product- or technology-driven motive. Our goal is to provide customers with the knowledge and opportunity to do what’s right for them rather than pushing the top line of a particular vendor.
An advocate of a holistic approach to information security, Geraint recognises that while technology has its place, it should be used as a tool to aid in the delivery of robust operational processes and sound policies. These should be delivered in conjunction with positive action to increase organisational awareness and promote shared responsibility for managing risk.
Geraint is an accomplished, commercially-aware and visionary information technology and security professional, with extensive and varied experience and a wealth of infrastructure and security management, consulting, pre-sales and sales management expertise built within a variety of sectors.
This breadth of experience and knowledge helps both in terms of delivering desired outcomes, but also in selecting complementary partners to support our client's objectives. Our goal is to deliver a packaged solution tailored to your specific needs. This package is wrapped with the necessary understanding and insight to allow you to interpret and act upon combined outputs, with support and guidance, in the best interest of your business.
