Sycurio is proud to announce that Nick Bown, Chief Security Officer at Sycurio, has been recognised as one of the winners of the UK CSO 30 Awards 2025, a prestigious accolade that celebrates the most influential IT and cybersecurity leaders across the UK.
This marks Nick’s second time receiving the honour, having previously been named a UK CSO 30 winner in 2023. His recognition once again highlights the strength of his leadership, the tangible impact of his work, and his continued commitment to advancing cybersecurity as a strategic business enabler.
Security Leadership That Drives Real-World Impact
The UK CSO 30 Awards recognise security leaders who go beyond traditional risk management to deliver innovation, resilience, and measurable business outcomes. Nick’s approach exemplifies this standard. Under his leadership, security at Sycurio is not viewed as a barrier to progress, but as a foundation for trust, growth, and operational excellence.
Nick has consistently championed security strategies that protect customers while enabling innovation, particularly in the highly complex and regulated world of secure payments. His work reflects a deep understanding that effective cybersecurity must balance compliance, usability, and customer experience.
Security as a Strategic Enabler
At Sycurio, we believe cybersecurity, and secure payments, is about more than mitigating risk. It plays a critical role in enabling businesses to scale with confidence, maintain customer trust, and operate with resilience in an increasingly digital economy.
Nick’s recognition reinforces this philosophy. His leadership continues to shape how we design, deliver, and evolve secure payment solutions that meet the needs of modern organisations while staying ahead of emerging threats.
A Well-Deserved Recognition
This award is a testament to the passion, professionalism, and integrity Nick brings to his role every day. It also reflects the values we strive to uphold at Sycurio: excellence, accountability, and forward-thinking security leadership.
As we look ahead, we’re excited to continue building on this momentum, driving even greater impact across the secure payments and cybersecurity landscape under Nick’s direction.
