ABOUT ANDY KEMP CONSULTING

Independent. Experienced. Focused on Results.

What I Do

I help organisations across the UK and beyond get more from Microsoft 365 securely. Whether you need strategic guidance, hands-on delivery or expert support, you will work directly with an experienced architect who understands both the technology and the outcome you need.

I specialise in Microsoft 365 Security, Identity & Access Management, Privileged Access, Secure Endpoint Architecture and Tenant-to-Tenant Migration. I combine technical depth with practical experience to help organisations reduce risk, strengthen security and move forward with confidence.

How I Work

I work independently, which means you get direct access to an experienced architect throughout your engagement. No account managers. No junior consultants. No hand-offs. Just clear, practical guidance and hands-on delivery when you need it.

I focus on outcomes, not licences. I help you use what you already have more effectively before recommending additional spend. I design solutions that align to your risk appetite, operational capability and business context—not a vendor roadmap.

Background & Experience

I have over 20 years of experience in IT, spanning infrastructure, security, identity, cloud architecture and technical delivery. I have worked with organisations of all sizes across public and private sectors, delivering everything from strategic roadmaps to hands-on technical implementation.

I hold multiple Microsoft certifications, including Microsoft Certified Cybersecurity Architect Expert, and I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer. I regularly speak, write and share practical guidance on Microsoft 365 security, identity and endpoint topics.

What Makes Me Different

  • Independent and vendor-neutral: I am not tied to a vendor, reseller or service provider. I recommend what is right for you, not what earns commission.
  • Hands-on and practical: I do not just write strategy documents. I design, implement and deliver real-world solutions that work.
  • Outcome-focused: I care about results, not billable hours. I help you achieve the outcome you need efficiently and pragmatically.
  • Technical depth: I understand the technology deeply and can translate complexity into clear, actionable guidance.
  • Proven frameworks: I use repeatable, proven frameworks that reduce risk, accelerate delivery and ensure consistent outcomes.
