About

Hi, I'm Pascal

I'm Pascal Chigozie Ejiofor, an IT governance, risk and control professional with 8+ years designing and executing IT General Controls and Application Controls assessments across technology-driven organisations.

I lead cybersecurity and IT controls work: COSO, ISO 27001, ISO 31000, SOC 2 and PCI-DSS assessments, risk registers and remediation. I also teach. I've taught 500+ students in Security+ and ISO-aligned security, with a 90% certification pass rate.

Pascal Speaks is where I think out loud. Every episode and post starts with a question, and what made me ask it.
