Onur Korucu

My name is Onur Korucu and I am working as Sr. GRC, Data Protection and Cyber Security Manager at Avanade UK&Ireland. I help organizations to create robust, tailor-made and well-established information security governance structures and data protection practices that mitigate the risks they face in their business as usual and help them comply with the regulatory requirements. I write articles about technical subjects relevant to my information security and data privacy expertise, also to help others to fulfil their potential and realize that they can also achieve their dreams and great things in their professional careers. I am actively involved in hiring, training and leading women in cyber and information security, GRC and data protection areas.

On top of my technical engineering degree and M.Sc degree, I obtained my LL.M in Information and Technology Law.

I have recently published a book about risk-based global approaches to improve data protection. I have also been publishing articles in prestigious magazines such as Harvard Business Review and Tomorrow Magazine around trending technology, cyber security and data privacy trends.
