Senior🎓
Top SchoolWalter Rocchi is an experienced GRC and security consultant with 11+ years focused on aligning technology with business strategy through ISO 27001, ISO 22031, NIST, COBIT and sector-specific regulations like NIS2, DORA, GDPR, SEPA and eIDAS. He has led internal audits, risk assessments and certification roadmaps across financial services and enterprise clients, accelerating certification timelines and improving governance metrics through integrated control frameworks. Walter blends hands-on technical skills—pen testing, STRIDE threat modeling, SAST/DAST and SBOM/SCA—with senior leadership roles such as CISO and DR Manager, making him equally fluent in engineering and executive communication. He has repeatedly driven cross-functional programs (privacy, safety, product security) to prepare regulatory submissions and secure cloud landing zones, often turning complex compliance requirements into pragmatic remediation plans. Notably, his background spans cryptography and OT/IoT protections as well as trust-service audits under eIDAS and ETSI standards, offering rare depth in both product security and qualified trust services. Based in Cesena, Italy, he combines consultancy experience at firms like Deloitte and Vodafone with training and audit leadership that consistently reduces incident rates and audit findings.
