John Elliott

John Elliott is a professional interpreter of cybersecurity and regulatory complexity. As a top-rated presenter, trusted advisor, and course author, John has spent his career bridging the gap between those who create rules, standards and policies, and those who must implement them. He’s contributed to the PCI standards and has managed cybersecurity for both large companies and small businesses.

John’s core focus is the “human interface” of security: how people and organisations interact with standards, regulations and internal policies. This has never been more important as organisations deploy artificial intelligence — ensuring colleagues understand the potential risks of their actions, and those of their AI agents. He specialises in the communication of cybersecurity and AI, translating complex governance, risk and compliance requirements into clear, actionable guidance.
