Mobhitech — Gérard Levicki
Gérard Levicki — independent cybersecurity consultant
I help companies and organizations address their cybersecurity challenges by integrating risk, governance, technology, and business realities. My career in security and technology spans more than 25 years, during which I have held management and business development roles and, for more than 9 years, have worked as an independent cybersecurity consultant.
In particular , I serve as a Chief Information Security Officer (CISO), part-time CISO, and cybersecurity project manager, with extensive experience in banking, insurance, and financial services.
My guiding principle: security should support business, not the other way around.

A career spanning more than 25 years: How did you build up this experience?
The phrase “more than 25 years” does not mean “25 years as an independent consultant.” It describes a broader career path in security and technology. My work as an independent cybersecurity consultant has been part of this career path for more than 9 years.

In which sectors does Gérard Levicki have particular expertise?
Mobhitech's track record is particularly notable in the banking, insurance, and financial services sectors, where cybersecurity, business continuity, compliance, governance, and traceability are closely intertwined.
We have also carried out projects for major organizations whose names are not listed on the website. This page describes them anonymously, including a major German insurance group, the bank of a major European retail chain, and a subsidiary of a French cooperative bank.
These statements have been deliberately anonymized: a confidential assignment must not become a commercial reference that identifies a specific individual without authorization.
What is Mobhitech's approach?
| Principle | Practical Application |
|---|---|
| Start with the actual risk | Identify what needs to continue functioning, what is valuable, and what could actually impact the organization. |
| Connecting the Digital World and Business | Evaluate a measure based on its reduced risk, operational impact, cost, and feasibility. |
| Prioritize | Avoid catalogs where everything is urgent, and develop a realistic plan. |
| Engage with all levels | Explain the issues to management, the CIO, the CISO, business units, compliance, and service providers. |
| Staying Independent | Do not make the recommendation contingent on the sale of a product or license. |
| Stating the Limits | Engage a specialist or partner when the assignment requires a specific level of expertise. |
Why is management experience important in cybersecurity?
A cybersecurity program doesn't succeed simply because a technical recommendation is correct. It also requires making trade-offs, coordinating multiple teams, managing dependencies, explaining the risks to non-technical stakeholders, and staying on track.
In particular, the public recommendations highlight the management of an international team of more than 20 people, structured communication, interactions with client executives, and the ability to translate needs into concrete deliverables.
This is particularly relevant for outsourced CISO / part-time CISO roles.

What Gérard Levicki doesn't claim to do on his own
Cybersecurity encompasses too many specialties for a credible consultant to claim to be the leading expert in each one. Mobhitech can draw on specialized partners when a project requires particular depth of expertise, particularly for certain tests, investigations, or technical environments.
Gérard Levicki remains the point person who sets the framework, links the work to risk, and oversees the consistency of the project when Mobhitech brings these complementary skills to bear.
