let&#8217;s explain what a shamrock is.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-8 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">Irish mythology tells of a Catholic priest named Patrick, later Saint Patrick, who travelled to the Emerald Isle to bring Christianity to the Irish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-9 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">He needed something to explain the Trinity of Catholicism to the local population and decided to use the three-leaf clover as a symbol for the Holy Trinity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-10 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">This small flower, known in Irish Gaelic as the shamrock, became the national symbol of Ireland.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left has-theme-secondary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:27px\">Do you believe in this story?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1f1f1f\">You have probably read \u2018We think your security and privacy is very important\u2019, especially after a data breach of which you were a victim or at the top of an otherwise often unreadable privacy statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-11 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">Many companies say they are committed to information security and privacy, but if you dig a little deeper into the organisation, we quickly see how things really stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-12 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#000000\">There is only one remedy: try to convince management that information security, privacy and risk management are essential issues that need to be addressed and maintained for successful businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-text-color wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#1f1f1f\">These three issues are closely related and therefore fit well with a three-leaf clover, the shamrock.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

I bridge the gap between business and IT. I provide high-quality, transparent, ethical expertise in information security, data protection, privacy, and risk management strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">I am an accredited InfoSec trainer, coach, and mentor. I share knowledge and insight with colleagues and the public, and I enjoy explaining complex security and privacy concepts to professionals and non-professionals alike.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-genesis-blocks-gb-column gb-block-layout-column\"><div class=\"gb-block-layout-column-inner\"><div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-rounded\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/shamrockinfosec.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Foto-Deborah-2025-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shamrockinfosec.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Foto-Deborah-2025-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/shamrockinfosec.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Foto-Deborah-2025-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/shamrockinfosec.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Foto-Deborah-2025-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/shamrockinfosec.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/08\/Foto-Deborah-2025.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-theme-secondary-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-19\">Deborah Demarteau<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">After Andor introduced me to privacy and the GDPR during a business trip in 2017, I decided to learn more about it. I also obtained certification in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">During an assignment, risk management was added to my responsibilities, which involved thoroughly researching a complete risk analysis methodology and writing a comprehensive manual that is still in use today. Based on this background, I also obtained certification in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">With over seven years of experience at various government agencies and commercial organisations, both large and small, I am able to provide high-quality advice on data protection and risk management.
