London, United Kingdom

JC Gaillard is the Founder and CEO of Corix Partners, a London-based Boutique Management Consultancy Firm and Thought-leadership Platform focused on assisting CIOs and other C-level executives in resolving Cyber Security Strategy, Organisation and Governance challenges.

He is a leading strategic advisor and a globally-recognised cyber security thought-leader with over 25 years of experience developed in several financial institutions in the UK and continental Europe, and a track-record at driving fundamental change in the Security field across global organisations, looking beyond the technical horizon into strategy, governance, culture, and the real dynamics of transformation.

French and British national permanently established in the UK since 1993, he holds an Engineering Degree from Telecom Paris and has been co-president of the Cyber Security group of the Telecom Paris alumni association since May 2016.

He runs the Corix Partners blog and the “Security Transformation Leadership” publication on Medium.

He is involved with techUK as part of their Cyber People Series, which explores how CISOs should engage at C-Suite and Board level, with two reports on the theme released in December 2020 and December 2021.

He also collaborates with leading analysts firm Kuppinger Cole in Germany, with the Association for Data and Cyber Governance in the US and with the Edutec Alliance in Brazil.

He was listed in the top 10 of UK 30 most influential thought leaders on Risk, RegTech and Compliance by Thomson Reuters in April 2017, and in the top 100 global social media influencers for financial services by Refinitiv in July 2019.

He is a 2022 Onalytica Cyber Security Influencer, and was also identified by them as as “Social Media Amplifier” on Risk Management in April 2021, and as a “Key Opinion Leader” on Data Management, IoT Connectivity and RPA in December 2020 and January 2021, as well as an influential voice and sub-topic expert on hybrid work and the future of work in January 2022.

He has been ranking consistently in the top 5 of global influencers with Thinkers360 on cybersecurity, and in the top 10 on leadership, management and security.

He is the author of “Cyber Security: The Lost Decade – A Security Governance Handbook for the CISO and the CIO” first published in September 2017 with updated annual editions released every year up to 2021, and "The CyberSecurity Leadership Handbook for the CISO and the CEO" released on Amazon in February 2023.

He animates the Security Transformation Research Foundation, a dedicated think-tank and research body affiliated to Corix Partners, aimed at approaching Security problems differently and producing innovative and challenging research ideas in the Security, Business Protection, Risk and Controls space, and co-produces the Cyber Security Transformation podcast on Anchor.

Onalytica: Interview with JC Gaillard - Top influencer in Cyber Security Strategy, Organisation and Governance
Onalytica
April 24, 2020
"I am passionate about helping the cyber security industry move forward. It is shocking to see cyber security maturity levels so low in many firms in spite of the billions spent – collectively – on technical security products across the last two decades. That’s not because those don’t work; it’s because they are rarely properly deployed or used: Too many organisations have been focusing for too long on non-existent quick wins around cyber security, and on technology, instead of putting people and process first. The roadblocks that have been preventing progress are rooted in culture and governance. And endemic corporate short-termism. Cyber security transformation requires a coherent leadership vision, long-term action and relentless drive to succeed."

Fortune 500 CISOs Play Musical Chairs
Cybercrime Magazine
August 27, 2021
Surging damages from cybercriminal attacks have driven the salaries of information security officers (CISOs) through the roof, with some companies offering seven-figure salaries to attract the right talent. So why is it so hard to keep CISOs in the job?

Jean-Christophe Gaillard, managing director and founder of management consultancy firm Corix Partners, believes many CISOs have suffered from a lack of role definition and support by company executives that are often all too happy to leave the CISO holding the bag when things go wrong.

“Many CISO positions were created in response to rampant cyber threats across the last decade in industries which never had such roles in place,” he argues.

“They were created tactically with the operational objective of preventing breaches, by senior executives who didn’t really understand the context and the transversal complexity involved in the cyber protection of large organizations.”

This had left CISOs fighting perpetually in reactive mode, and prevented them from developing the leadership and management skills needed to make the CISO role more strategic and high-level.

“Many CISOs struggled with limited resources and constant attacks, and never managed to build a meaningful narrative with management beyond mere firefighting,” Gaillard explains. “They were prevented from developing the softer skills, the personal gravitas, the political acumen, which are key to delivering complex initiatives in large firms.”

For businesses now totally dependent on remote working, e-commerce or digital supply chains, a serious security breach is the last thing they want… CEOs, CFOs and CIOs should not jump to ready-made conclusions around cyber security ahead of their next budgeting round.

The end of IT security as we know it

June 28, 2017
We need to improve IT security, while speeding up responsiveness to business demands. All too often, IT Security is viewed as an impediment. It seems that the extreme choices are to have fluid business operations that are wide open to attack or to have highly secure businesses that are slowed down by the weight of complex security measures. Forrester’s call for a “Zero Trust” environment will cripple normal business operations unless the ability to permit access to data and systems is automated to a degree where security doesn’t get in the way of business operations and “fluidity”. As IT professionals, we need to find the middle ground.

The Way Forward with Cyber Security Target Operating Models: A Plan of Approach for Senior Executives
Corix Partners
November 08, 2021
Many large organisations across all industries face the same challenges around cybersecurity and privacy: Growing regulatory demands, compounded by escalating cyber threats and skills shortages, and a business landscape dominated by the COVID pandemic and its aftermath.

Very often, their cyber security operating model has simply grown organically over the years and needs re-engineering or re-structuring:

- to bring it in line with evolving regulatory frameworks;
- to align it with industry best practices in terms of three lines of defence and risk management;
- and fundamentally, to give senior executives assurance that their business remains adequately protected from cyber threats across people, process and technology levels.

So what are the best ways to move forward with a cyber security operating model re-engineering programme?

Cyber Security: Not just an Equation between Risk Appetite, Compliance and Costs

An update to the 2019 version of this white paper, originally published in collaboration with The Security Transformation Research Foundation.

The COVID crisis has changed very little around the cyber security fundamentals, and established good practices – some known for decades – continue to provide protection, as long as they are properly implemented acrosss the real depth and breadth of the modern enterprise.

But the pandemic has made most businesses and most of us heavily dependent on digital services, which in turn rely entirely on digital trust.

Now more than ever, cyber security – as a cornerstone of digital trust – is becoming a matter of good corporate governance, good ethics, and quite simply – good business.

Remote working creates new security imperatives around the way staff collaborate and share information (and around the way cyber security teams need to operate). At the same time, cyber criminals are targeting the disorganisation created by the crisis and negligent practices and cyber threats are at an all times high.

More than ever, good security and privacy practices are key to KEEPING THE LIGHTS ON.

Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud: Take Security and Privacy seriously to stay in the game
Corix Partners
December 03, 2015
The convergence of IoT, Big Data and Cloud Computing technologies is opening up a very large number of possibilities in terms of new digital products and services. But for the short-term, at the intersection of technologies and in the midst of the proliferation of (often immature) use cases, the privacy of consumers has become vulnerable. And fundamental cybersecurity principles – if ignored – will lead to breaches and data losses that may damage further consumer confidence.

1 Trend
Cyber Security Focus to Shift from Risk Management & Firefighting towards Transformation & Execution

Date : July 30, 2020

As we look towards the next decade, the Security industry must pivot towards a clearer execution focus: Security cannot be seen any more JUST as a matter of risk appetite or as a box-checking exercise; equally, constant firefighting is no longer sufficient as the “when not if” paradigm takes root in the boardroom and senior executives demand real results, often in exchange of very significant investments. Security must become a delivery imperative, and where existing maturity levels are low, the CISO must become a true transformational leader.

Corix Partners is a Boutique Management Consultancy Firm focused on assisting CIOs and other C-level executives in resolving Cyber Security Strategy, Organisation and Governance challenges. As independent Transformation experts with over 20 years of experience in the field, we help our clients develop strong company-wide Security practices that deliver real and lasting value.

Our Founder and MD JC Gaillard also provides - directly or through Corix Partners - strategic advisory services and Non Executive Director support to product & services firms, including start-ups and scale-ups, active in the cyber security space (and their core investors) aimed at creating or optimizing long-lasting conditions for growth and value creation.

We believe long-lasting value and growth come from a strong focus across all leadership and innovation areas, looking beyond day-to-day issues, pure organic growth and mere multiples of earnings.

We bring real life experience and common sense as well as financial acumen and access to extensive leadership experience and market knowledge through a network of industry leaders who can assist across all challenges of growth and value creation.

We bring over 25 years of direct international field experience in and around the cyber security space and an extensive international and multi-cultural focus that can complement existing leadership capabilities within the client’s organisation.

Cyber Security Strategy, Organization and Governance Advisory Services

Location: Worldwide    Date Available: January 01st, 2020     Fees: Negotiable

Submission Date: December 05th, 2019     Service Type: Service Offered

Corix Partners is a Boutique Management Consultancy Firm focused on assisting CIOs and other C-level executives in resolving Cyber Security Strategy, Organisation and Governance challenges. As independent Transformation experts with over 20 years of experience in the field, we help our clients develop strong company-wide Security practices that deliver real and lasting value.

We believe that creating an effective Cyber Security practice often stems from driving cultural and governance changes across an organisation: It requires a coherent leadership vision, long-term action and relentless drive to succeed.

We are execution and transformation people by trade and we pride ourselves in listening to our clients and helping them succeed at protecting their business better against cyber threats.

Established as a consultancy platform in its current form since 2011, we deliver our services primarily through a strong ecosystem of independent specialist associates, and partnerships with selected consulting firms. People we trust, because we have worked with them before and we know they share our values.

Our founder JC Gaillard is a thought-leader active across the Cyber Security community in the UK and abroad, and regularly identified as influencer on social media around matters of security, risk and emerging technologies.

We also support the Security Transformation Research Foundation, a dedicated think-tank and research body aimed at approaching Security problems differently and producing innovative and challenging research ideas in the Security, Business Protection, Risk and Controls space.
