Adrian Ghira
Managed Security & IT Operations Practitioner · Security Program and Compliance Advisor · Technology Strategy and vCIO
Adrian founded GAM Tech in 2012 and has run it ever since as a security-first managed services practice — organizations of 20 to 200 users in nine Canadian cities, across energy, aviation, waste and environmental services, professional services, non-profit and municipal sectors. That's fourteen years of being accountable for the systems rather than advising on them, and it shapes how he sees the work: security is an operating discipline, not a product you buy.
He treats security as a measured program rather than an annual audit. Every engagement starts with what an organization actually does day to day, then works backward to controls that will survive contact with real users. GAM Tech is SOC 2 certified and a Certified B Corporation, so the standards Adrian holds clients to are ones he has been audited against himself.
- Security posture assessments across identity, endpoint, email, and network
- SOC 2 and compliance readiness, gap analysis, and audit preparation
- Incident response planning, tabletop exercises, and breach playbooks
- Managed detection and response design, vendor selection, and oversight
- Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace hardening, MFA and identity controls
- Technology stack rationalization and multi-year IT roadmaps
Sector focus: Canadian organizations of 20 to 200 users across energy and oilfield services, aviation, waste and environmental services, professional services, non-profit, and municipal government. GAM Tech is built for organizations large enough to be a target and small enough that security has to be delivered, not just recommended.
