Jamie Wilson

“I have known Mr Jamie Wilson, my employer, professionally for approximately 18 months. From my first meeting with Mr Wilson I detected in him an understanding of the importance of computer security issues rare in a non-IT professional. Jamie originally contracted me on a short-term basis to respond to some request for tenders, and to make recommendations on the use of an international standard of information security management (ISO 27001) to his company; to further improve the security posture and credibility of his organisation as a vendor of data security services. I was impressed that Mr Wilson was so passionate about computer security to the point where I realised that there would be no requirement for me to ‘sell’ the value of security to him as a business owner – a rare situation to be sure even in our tech-savvy society. Jamie already possessed a unique vision for, and had hired a team to develop a working software solution for the protection of personal legacy data online by the time he brought me on-board. As an IT security professional with 20 years’ experience I do not believe I have come across such an innovative and worthwhile project as Mr Wilson described to me. By the time I learned the details of the concept behind the technology I was already sold on it as not only a superior offering in the market, but as something that fulfilled a unique community need. Over the past 18 months, I have advised Mr Wilson on matters of cyber security both in regard to the internal operations of Your Digital File, and in relation to current trends in cyber security threats and countermeasures. Jamie and I not only share a common understanding on the most appropriate way to deal with threats and how to advise our clients and partners, but Jamie relies heavily on my expertise as a sounding board whenever any issues are discussed or arise in our day-to-day dealings. I am essentially Mr Wilson’s 24-hours-a-day security information feed, and through Jamie, Your Digital File represents a voice of reason in regard to information security matters no matter the forum, audience or perspective. Mr Wilson has repeatedly demonstrated his commitment to supporting and evangelising about the importance of cyber security, and its integration in our daily lives, and it is with confidence that I both recommend and support his judgement on matters of information security and the application of industry best practice cyber security approaches to solving the problems faced by all users of information technology, specifically in the area of confidential data security. Yours Sincerely, Mark McPherson ”
