Congratulations to Ray Stone on Achieving Two ChCSP Specialisms

We’re delighted to congratulate Ray Stone, our Chief Technology Officer, on achieving two prestigious Chartered Cyber Security Professional (ChCSP) specialisms:

These achievements reflect a high level of professional competence, experience and commitment to the cyber security profession.

What is ChCSP?

The Chartered Cyber Security Professional (ChCSP) programme is the UK’s chartered standard for cyber security professionals. Chartered status is designed to recognise individuals who can demonstrate not only extensive technical knowledge, but also the ability to apply that expertise effectively in real-world environments.

Achieving a ChCSP specialism requires candidates to demonstrate a combination of technical knowledge, practical experience, professional competence and commitment to ongoing professional development.

Cyber Security Governance & Risk Management

This specialism focuses on helping organisations understand, manage and reduce cyber risk.

Professionals recognised in this area have demonstrated the ability to align cyber security with business objectives, develop effective governance frameworks, assess and manage risk, and support organisations in making informed security decisions.

This expertise is particularly valuable as organisations face increasing regulatory requirements, evolving cyber threats and growing expectations from customers, suppliers and stakeholders.

Secure Systems Architecture & Design

This specialism recognises expertise in designing and implementing systems with security built in from the outset.

It covers the principles of secure architecture, system resilience, risk reduction and secure-by-design approaches that help organisations protect critical systems and data.

As digital transformation continues to accelerate, ensuring that security is considered throughout the design and development process has become increasingly important for organisations of all sizes.

 

What This Means for Data Connect Group

As CTO, Ray Stone plays a key role in shaping our technical strategy, security services and customer outcomes.

Holding expertise across both governance and risk management, as well as secure systems architecture and design, enables us to bring together strategic cyber security leadership with practical technical implementation. This helps ensure that security considerations are embedded throughout the lifecycle of a project, from initial planning and risk assessment through to deployment and ongoing management.

For our customers, it means access to leadership backed by recognised, chartered-level expertise in both managing cyber risk and building secure, resilient technology environments.

Congratulations once again to Ray Stone on this outstanding achievement and commitment to professional excellence.
