Wale Osoba builds security the way engineers build power stations: measured, load-tested and proven before anyone is asked to trust it.
Founder and Chief Executive Officer of StanTurton, Wale brings 17 years across cybersecurity, IT audit, governance, risk and compliance, and civil engineering. He founded the firm in Dallas in 2016 on one conviction: technology risk is only managed when it can be shown to an auditor, a regulator or a board, on demand.
He has worked both sides of the control. As an auditor he has evaluated internal controls, assessed third-party technology risk, reviewed cybersecurity policy and carried organizations through audits against NIST, ISO/IEC 27001 and PCI DSS. In security operations he has monitored threats, triaged alerts and investigated incidents. He knows exactly where a policy breaks when it meets a Monday morning, and he builds programs that don’t.
Before technology, Wale engineered heavy construction: power station foundations, turbine pedestals and commercial buildings, where a missed tolerance is measured in millions. That training still runs every StanTurton engagement. Milestones are planned, teams are coordinated, and problems are found while they are still cheap to fix.
As CEO, he sets the firm’s strategy around one outcome: leaders who understand their technology risk, control it, and make decisions about their IT with confidence. Clients reach him directly through the Office of the Founder.
Four principles that every StanTurton engagement inherits from its founder.
Every control is designed for the day it is tested by an attacker, an auditor or an outage. If it would crack under load, it is not finished.
An auditor’s eye at the whiteboard saves a year of rework. Every architecture we propose is checked against the questions an assessor will ask.
A control that cannot be shown working does not exist. We leave clients with proof, not promises.
