Leadership & Advisory Team
Led by Certified ISO 27001 Practitioners and Former Auditors.
Meet the Lead Architect: Stuart Barker, MSc Principal Information Security Consultant & Lead Auditor
The High Table ISO 27001 Implementation Suite was architected by Stuart Barker, a veteran practitioner with over 30 years of experience in systems security and risk management.
Holding an MSc in Software and Systems Security, Stuart combines academic rigor with extensive operational experience. His background includes over a decade leading Data Governance for General Electric (GE) across Europe, as well as founding and exiting a successful cyber security consultancy.
As a qualified ISO 27001 Lead Auditor and Lead Implementer, Stuart possesses distinct insight into the specific evidence standards required by certification bodies. He has successfully guided hundreds of organizations -from high-growth technology startups to enterprise financial institutions – through the audit lifecycle.
This toolkit represents the distillation of that field experience into a standardised framework. It moves beyond theoretical compliance, providing a pragmatic, auditor-verified methodology designed to satisfy ISO/IEC 27001:2022 while minimising operational friction.
