Adopt AI.Keep your data under control.

I'm Pavel Zvara, an IT security consultant. I've spent over 10 years protecting data – the last five in banking. Today I help companies use AI and automation without sensitive information ending up where it shouldn't.

How I can help

  • Secure AI adoption

    You want ChatGPT, Copilot or custom AI tools – but do you know what your people are pasting into them? I set up the rules and technical safeguards so AI helps rather than leaks.

    • AI tool risk assessment
    • AI usage policies for employees
    • data protection for AI workflows (DLP, classification)
  • Data protection & DLP

    I ran DLP operations in a bank for five years. I know where data leaks and how to catch it without slowing everyday work down.

    • DLP design and deployment (Microsoft Purview, Forcepoint)
    • data classification and document protection
    • security incident handling
  • AI automation

    I turn repetitive tasks into automated workflows – with security built in from the start, not bolted on at the end.

    • n8n / Make workflows
    • AI assistants on top of your data
    • secure credential storage, logging, least privilege
  • Security consulting

    An independent look at the security of your systems and projects.

    • risk analysis and security audits
    • access rights and permission reviews
    • security input for IT projects at the design stage

// 02 — About

Security with a calm head

I started out as a tester and developer, then spent five years on security projects – risk analysis, ISMS, audits. Most recently at 365.bank I handled data protection, incidents and access governance in an environment where mistakes aren't an option.

Along the way I earned an MSc. in artificial intelligence and machine learning. I'm interested in where AI and security meet – and in adopting new technology without putting your data at risk.

I work analytically, responsibly and without panic. Even during an incident.
