Portrait of Michael Meo AjekigbeHi, I'm Meo (Michael Ajekigbe).

AI and security consultant for small businesses

I find the gaps an attacker would use, fix them, and write the policies that prove it. Then I show your team how to use AI safely, so the repetitive work runs itself and you get your time back.

Three sides of security, plus the AI that saves you time

Most consultants pick one lane. I work across all three, so the same person who finds a weakness can fix it and document it for your clients, bank or regulator.

Offensive

Think like the attacker

Hands-on testing that shows exactly how someone would get in, and how to stop them.

  • Web, API and network penetration tests
  • Access control and authentication testing
  • Recon automation with Bash and Project Discovery
  • Clear reports with CVSS scores and fixes

Tools: Burp Suite, Nmap, Nuclei, Metasploit

Defensive

Catch it and contain it

Monitoring and hardening so attacks get noticed early and go nowhere.

  • SIEM and EDR alert triage
  • Firewall and IDS/IPS rules
  • System hardening and access reviews
  • Incident reports leadership can act on

Tools: Splunk, CrowdStrike Falcon, Wazuh, Snort, FortiGate

GRC

Prove you're doing it right

The policies, risk records and evidence that clients and regulators ask for.

  • Security policies in plain language
  • Control mapping to ISO 27001, PCI DSS and NDPR
  • Risk registers and vendor checks
  • Essential compliance documents, fast

Frameworks: ISO 27001, PCI DSS, NDPR, OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK

AI that makes work, and life, easier

  • Automations that remove repetitive tasks
  • AI agents and workflows (LangGraph, Google ADK, n8n)
  • Simple rules so your team uses AI safely
  • Evaluating and stress-testing AI model output

Questions people ask

What does an AI and security consultant do for a small business?

An AI and security consultant finds and fixes the easiest ways an attacker could get into your business, sets up simple policies and compliance documents, and shows your team how to use AI tools safely to save time. For a small business, that means the essentials that make the biggest difference, sized to your budget.

Which areas of cybersecurity do you cover?

All three main areas. Offensive security (penetration testing of websites, APIs and networks), defensive security (monitoring, detection rules and hardening) and GRC (governance, risk and compliance: policies, risk registers and mapping to ISO 27001, PCI DSS and NDPR). One person can find a weakness, fix it and document it.

How do I protect my business Instagram and WhatsApp from being hacked?

Secure the email and phone number behind each account first, then turn on two-factor authentication with a passkey or an authenticator app, never share a verification code with anyone, and check linked devices every month. The 60-Minute Account Lockdown Kit in Meo's Store walks through every setting step by step.

Can a small business use AI safely?

Yes. Choose which AI tools your team is allowed to use, never paste customer, financial or password data into public AI tools, and have a person check anything AI writes before it reaches a customer. With those rules in place, AI can take over repetitive work like replies, reports and follow-ups.

Do small businesses need compliance documents?

Most need a few: a data protection policy, acceptable use rules for staff and devices, and an incident response plan. Clients, banks and regulators increasingly ask for them, and laws like Nigeria's NDPR apply to businesses of every size. They can be written quickly and in plain language.
