1. Certified in Sounding Official

A signed paperback copy of the satirical workplace novel following Crispin Lockwood-Fetch, a man who never set out to become a CISO, but discovered early on that he was exceptionally good at one thing: sounding official.

From helpdesk beginnings to boardroom confidence, Crispin rises through cybersecurity armed with little more than a sharp suit, a suspiciously calm tone, an impressive collection of buzzwords, and an unshakeable belief that most problems can be solved by clearing the cache and delivering a confident PowerPoint.

Interspersed with the increasingly exasperated logs of Lauren Barnell, his Head of Security Operations, this is the painfully plausible story of one man mastering the art of looking like he knows what he is doing, right up until the ransomware hits.

2. The Lockwood-Fetch Principles of Sounding Official (Direct Assurance Edition)

A bonus companion booklet containing approved executive language, meeting-ready principles, maturity indicators and practical guidance for converting problems into themes, themes into dashboards, and dashboards into reassurance.

Reviewed. Logged. Within tolerance.

Ideal for cybersecurity professionals, corporate survivors, governance enthusiasts, PowerPoint veterans and anyone who has ever looked at a red risk and wondered whether it could be made amber by Friday.

UK delivery included.
