About BiR Management Consulting
An exceptional talent for cutting swiftly and accurately to the root of governance failures has led
BiR director Michael (Mike) Barwise to be described as the ‘Harvey-Jones’ of corporate information risk.
Drawing on two decades as an innovator both in systems and process design for business, he is well equipped to address the entire spectrum of information risk. Since 1998 his consultancies have served clients on all scales from multinational to SMB, putting in place and remediating the standards, frameworks and processes that are essential to robust corporate information risk and compliance management.
Mike has contributed to UK and international cyber security policy and law, created and delivered information risk practitioner training to Masters level, and presented and published widely on information risk management and the psychology of decision-making. He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a chartered engineer, a professional member of the British Computer Society and the Institute of Information Security Professionals, a member of the ISO27000 UK expert panel, and a recognised expert in robust risk assessment.
