CEO and founder, Venvera
Alexander is the founder of Venvera and a 20+ year veteran of European cybersecurity and compliance. He has led security and risk programmes for regulated financial institutions, fintechs and SaaS companies operating under DORA, NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001 and the EU AI Act. Before Venvera, he founded Atlant Security, an offensive security consultancy that ran penetration tests, red-team exercises and ISO 27001 readiness programmes for clients across the EU and the Middle East. He writes on the cross-framework realities of running modern compliance: how to map one control to many obligations, where the spreadsheets fall apart, and what regulators are actually asking for once the auditor sits down.
