Ricardo Coronel Lemus
20+ years protecting organisations in banking, payments and regulated sectors. I'm not an academy: I'm the professional who applies the standards I teach every single day.
Why I train
Over more than twenty years in cybersecurity and compliance, I've learned an uncomfortable truth: standards are easy to read and hard to implement. Anyone can recite what ISO 27001 or DORA requires. What really costs — and what separates someone who passes an exam from someone who is useful at work — is knowing how to build the governance, the controls and the evidence that hold up in front of a real auditor.
I've been on the other side: leading the implementation of DORA in a payments company, preparing PCI DSS certifications, driving NIS2, building continuity plans in banking. That's why, when I train, I don't teach theory: I pass on what works in real projects.
I built Risk Resilience Security Group's training activity around a simple idea: that a professional should be able to get PECB-certified learning from someone who lives these standards every day, rather than in a purely theoretical setting. That's the whole difference.
