AI and security from people who publish in the field.

We work where artificial intelligence, data governance and cybersecurity meet. What we recommend, we have run ourselves — certification programmes, regulatory audits and security functions inside regulated businesses.

Clients

What we do

Three services. Each is backed by work done inside regulated businesses, not advised on from outside.

Security & Compliance

Certification programmes, policy frameworks, and the evidence trail that holds up when an external auditor pulls on it.

  • Cyber risk assessment and security posture review, with a prioritised remediation plan
  • ISO/IEC 27001:2022 — gap analysis through to the certification audit
  • SOC 2 and ISAE 3402 readiness, Type I and Type II — scoping the trust services criteria, closing the gaps, and standing beside you through the auditor's fieldwork
  • Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus and IASME Cyber Assurance
  • GDPR and Swiss FADP programmes: records of processing, technical and organisational measures, policy exceptions
  • Audit preparation for regulators and clients: evidence packs, control narratives, dry runs
  • Outsourced DPO under the GDPR, or DPA under the Swiss FADP

Talks & Training

Security awareness people actually remember, and technical training that leaves a certification behind.

  • Security awareness for mixed technical and non-technical audiences
  • AI literacy for leadership teams
  • Cloud and machine-learning courses with a certification path
  • Conference keynotes and invited lectures

Applied R&D

Machine learning on difficult signals — speech, gaze, language, network data — built to be reproduced, not demonstrated once.

  • Feasibility studies and proofs of concept with an honest verdict
  • ML pipelines that run on-premise or in a public cloud
  • Data quality, validation and enrichment
  • Joint research and grant collaborations with universities

How we work

Small engagements are welcome. So is being told the answer is no.

Remote by default

Workshops, interviews and reviews over video. On-site in Warsaw, or at your offices, when the work genuinely needs to be in the room — audit walkthroughs and training usually do.

Scoped or hourly

A fixed-scope piece with a defined deliverable — a gap assessment, a policy set, a readiness review — or hours drawn down as you need them. Whichever fits the problem.

We will tell you no

If the work needs a larger firm, a different specialism, or nothing at all, we will say so at the first conversation rather than the third invoice.

The reasoning is public

Five papers, chosen because each maps onto a service rather than because it is the most cited. The complete list — 18 publications and 29 talks — is kept current on Karol's academic site.
