Chief Quality Officer · CISO · Trainer · Church servant

Helping people move through a changing world with confidence.

I’m Fook Hwa Tan. For more than two decades, I have helped people and organisations make the digital world safer—as Chief Quality Officer at Northwave Cybersecurity, as CISO for organisations across Europe, and as a trainer who believes knowledge should make people feel more capable, not smaller.

Grounded in the saving grace of Jesus Christ.

One life, woven together

Technology, people and faith are not separate stories.

They meet in one conviction: knowledge matters most when it helps people live with greater safety, dignity and hope.

What drives my work

Security is ultimately about keeping promises.

Behind every framework and control are real people. Customers trust organisations with their data. Colleagues trust that their work will continue. Communities trust that progress will not leave them exposed.

“We’re not just protecting systems. We’re protecting promises.”
How I help organisations

Five values, two languages

What I try to live by.

To live a life of faith, love and purpose—empowering others to realise their God-given potential—while nurturing meaningful relationships and leaving a legacy of hope, service and transformation.

赋能EmpoweringGreatness is a collective triumph, not a solo pursuit.
感恩GratitudeBlessings are not entitlements but gifts to share.
学习LearningEvery encounter is a classroom; every person, a teacher.
LoveKindness, forgiveness and the courage to understand.
乐观OptimismEvery ending can be a new beginning.

The foundation beneath it all

“Grace is not an addition to life.
It is the ground on which I stand.”

My Christian faith quietly shapes how I lead, teach, listen and serve. In church ministry, that faith becomes more visible: building bridges across language and culture, caring for the community and sharing the hope found in Jesus Christ.
