Gavin’s career spans law enforcement, financial fraud investigation, and digital forensics experience that provides a strong foundation for his leadership in Information Security. His time at the GFSC, combined with private sector experience managing eDiscovery projects, has equipped him with deep insight into both regulatory and operational risk management.
Today, Gavin leads Clarity’s Information Security team, working closely with clients and colleagues to deliver pragmatic, risk-appropriate protection for systems and data. Recognising that effective data governance underpins organisational resilience, Gavin ensures the team promotes strong, auditable security frameworks that prevent failure before it starts.
Gavin also oversees Audit, CISO, Litigation Support, and Incident Response services. His approach balances technical rigour with practical business understanding, ensuring every engagement delivers measurable security outcomes. Under Gavin’s leadership, Clarity has maintained successful audits across ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, and Cyber Assurance standards. This hands-on experience gives Gavin and his team valuable insight into the challenges clients face in attaining and maintaining certification. Gavin holds an undergraduate degree in Information Security and Computing from Plymouth University, along with multiple industry-recognised security certifications. Outside of work, he’s swapped rugby and Olympic freestyle wrestling for more measured pursuits — enjoying historical podcasts, theatre, poetry, jogging, sea swimming, and walking, having recently completed both Channel Island walks.
