About Imran Rasheed

Founder & CEO | Cybersecurity Visionary | MSSP Builder | Compliance Made Simple

I’m Imran Rasheed, a Cybersecurity Expert and the Founder & CEO of iSoft, a modern Managed Security Services Provider (MSSP) built to make cybersecurity and compliance simple, affordable, and actionable for small and medium-sized businesses around the world.

I didn’t start this company to make security sound complicated. I started it to make security make sense. Over the years, I’ve met countless business owners who care deeply about their data but feel lost in the noise of frameworks, controls, and certifications. My goal has always been to turn that confusion into clarity and give growing companies the same level of protection that big enterprises take for granted.

With nearly 20 years of experience in cybersecurity, I’ve spent much of my career in the trenches, securing systems for organisations like Barclays, ABN AMRO, and HSBC, advising law enforcement agencies, and building Security Operations Centers (SOCs) from the ground up. Along the way, I’ve learned something that still guides my work today. Most companies don’t fail because they lack ambition. They stumble because they lack clarity, capability, and control over cyber risk. I know this because I’ve been the person called at 2 a.m. to explain why one small misconfiguration suddenly looks like a headline. Those nights taught me how to turn noise into signal and panic into process.

Easy Pii: AI Powered Compliance Platform

To make compliance even easier, I created Easy Pii, an AI-driven compliance automation platform and a flagship product of iSoft. It’s built to harness artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to simplify complex cybersecurity and data protection frameworks.

Easy Pii helps automate evidence gathering, map data flows, track regulatory obligations, and expedite audit readiness, all while minimising human error. The result is a smarter, faster, and more transparent path to compliance for every business.

My Approach and Beliefs

Compliance isn’t a one-size-fits-all formula. Sometimes ISO certification is the right move. Sometimes it’s overkill. In my experience, a focused set of practical controls often earns more trust than a long list of policies nobody follows.

I’m not entirely sure which path is right for you until I see your environment, but I do know this progress matters more than perfection. Security isn’t about fear; it’s about confidence. The goal is not to create bureaucracy but to build resilience that scales with your business.
