We’ve lived what we advise on.
We come from both sides of the table…….as business owners, board members, project managers and practitioners who have seen firsthand what happens when governance, privacy and security are ignored. And as consultants who have helped organisations improve operational processes, reduce data risks, meet regulations and grow.
Why We Built Hyplon
We built Hyplon because too many businesses were moving fast and loose with AI and nobody was asking the hard questions. We ask them.
Meet Roger McCluskey - Co Founder
GradCert in Cyber Security, GradCert in IT, and Degree in Biotechnology
Roger started as an oil & gas project engineer in Malaysia and Singapore before pivoting into information security, bringing an engineer's mindset to risk. That combination of operational depth and security expertise is rare and it's what makes him effective across complex environments.
Since moving into security and privacy, Roger has assessed risks on a variety of technologies including airport passenger vetting systems, telco services and AI-powered customer support platforms, and has supported a global travel organisation with delivering whole-of-organisation security and privacy uplift programmes. He also lectures and mentors aspiring cybersecurity professionals through Cyber Rookie.
Outside of work Roger is deep into vibecoding, building tools that shield sensitive information before it enters AI systems and protect against prompt injection attacks. When he’s not doing that you’ll find him indulging his passion for history and his stategic mind through video games.
"Treat AI like an employee. You wouldn't give a new employee access to everything on day one. So why do it with AI? And always have a recovery plan."
— Roger McCluskey, speaking at The Business Show Australia, Sydney 2025.
Speaking & Technical Thought Leadership
Roger speaks at business events on AI and digital transformation sharing practical insights on what businesses should actually be doing with AI rather than what they think they should be doing.

Meet Marnie McLeod - Co Founder
GradCert in Cyber Security, GradCert in IT, GradCert in Business (Digital Transformation), and IAPP Foundations of Privacy and Data Protection Training
After 25+ years running businesses, sitting on boards and working in privacy and information security supporting private and government sectors, Marnie brings a perspective most AI governance advisors simply don't have. She's been the business owner and business manager making the decisions, the board member building governance systems to protect sensitive data, and the person inside the regulatory investigation working out what needs to change to make it right.
Marnie believes good AI governance and privacy isn't about compliance. It's about protecting people and businesses from decisions that can't be undone later.
Outside of work you'll find Marnie somewhere in the world. She's visited 26 countries, housesitting internationally while running her business. An avid hiker, she has trekked to Everest Base Camp and the Annapurna mountains in Nepal over 30 days, solo hiked Spain's Camino de Santiago in 5 days and walked an ice glacier in Iceland. She writes about her adventures at Marnie's Art of Travel.
Author of Don’t Let Your Business Get Cooked
Writing & Thought Leadership
Marnie writes and speaks about what's really happening with AI in business, not the hype, the reality. Through her book, articles, LinkedIn content and speaking engagements, she translates complex AI governance and privacy topics into plain english for business leaders who need to understand what's at stake.
