Nigel Roberts – Cybersecurity Consultant in Bowie, Maryland (CISSP, CCSP, CySA+)

I’m Nigel Roberts, a cybersecurity consultant based in Bowie, Maryland, and the founder of NexSecure Solutions. I help small and mid-size organizations strengthen security, reduce risk, and become audit-ready without slowing the business. My work focuses on practical, right-sized programs aligned to NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. I hold CISSP, CCSP, and CySA+ certifications. (Also known as Nigel Elijah Roberts.)

What I Do

• Risk & Governance: build lightweight policies, roles, and evidence paths that satisfy auditors and make sense to operators.

• Vulnerability Management: baselines, prioritization, and patch plans that shrink time-to-remediate.

• Third-Party/Vendor Risk: questionnaires, contract riders, and continuous monitoring that scale.

• Cloud & M365 Security: practical hardening, identity controls, and logging you can maintain.

• Security Awareness: culture programs that exceed 90% completion without nagging.
  
  

Frameworks & Compliance

Most clients need to be credible to customers or regulators fast. I align controls to NIST CSF, map gaps to ISO 27001 Annex A or SOC 2 Trust Services Criteria, and create an evidence plan so future audits are predictable.

Working Style

Clear language, short documents, and dashboards that show risk moving in the right direction. I prefer weekly touchpoints and deliverables you can reuse, not one-off reports.

Recent Outcomes

• Reduced critical vulnerabilities by 50% within one quarter through prioritized patching and configuration fixes.

• Prepared a nonprofit for a customer SOC 2 review in under 90 days with defensible evidence.

• Cut third-party review time by 60% using standard questionnaires and contract addenda.
