About the certificationJordon Harrison
I’m Jordon, an IT professional in the UK.
My work brings together systems, security, cloud services and the practical decisions behind them. I’m interested in understanding the whole picture and making considered improvements.
I’m particularly interested in cybersecurity and automation, and I enjoy the variety that comes with working across different areas of IT. Learning something new and then trying it out is a big part of what keeps me interested.
At the moment, I’m working towards a security analyst role. I’d like to build on my experience with systems, cloud infrastructure and security controls, and spend more of my time investigating alerts, understanding threats and responding to incidents.
As you can probably tell, I’m not a web designer.

About the certificationBeing there for people matters to me.
I care about kindness, opportunity and helping people feel included. Whether someone is facing a difficult time or needs the chance to learn, I want to support the people making things a little easier.
Lymphoma Action
Good information and a listening ear can mean a great deal when life feels uncertain. I support Lymphoma Action’s work to help people affected by lymphoma, including their families and friends.
I value the combination of clear information, someone to talk to and a community that understands. People deserve that kind of care and reassurance.
Meet Lymphoma ActionEvery Child Online
I support Every Child Online because a computer can be the start of so much more than getting online. It can be a first attempt at coding, making something creative, discovering an interest or building the confidence to try.
I’d like more young people to have that opportunity, whatever their circumstances. That’s why the charity’s work to improve access to technology means something to me.
Meet Every Child OnlineMy support for these charities is personal and independent.
