Background

About Anthony Azzopardi

I’m a security-minded IT and compliance professional with 14+ years’ experience across IT management, IT audit and regulatory compliance—mostly working with PwC and recently seconded as Lead Compliance Auditor to review Compliance Audit work submitted by the Authorized Service Providers to the local regulator. I specialize in information security governance and assurance, technical security assessments and turning regulator requirements into practical, actionable controls. I design and maintain security control frameworks, run system and configuration reviews, manage audit evidence and remediation, and keep ISMS and accreditation materials audit-ready. I have hands-on experience assessing controls across infrastructure, applications and network layers, and I’m comfortable working with cross-functional, matrixed teams to implement and prove control effectiveness. I help organizations reduce regulatory findings and operational risk by maintaining clear risk registers, coordinating corrective action plans, and communicating security requirements in business-friendly language. I’ve led compliance and system audits for iGaming operators across sportsbook and casino verticals, and contributed to improvements in audit methodology at the regulator level. I hold a BSc in Information Systems and Management degree from the LSE and recently obtained Certifications in CC (ISC2) and CISA (ISACA) I enjoy mentoring teams, improving testing quality, and delivering pragmatic governance that balances security, compliance and business needs. I’m looking for opportunities where I can drive measurable assurance, strengthen ISMS controls, and support audit and licensing readiness in fast-paced, regulated environments.
