Olabamiji Ajisomo helps organisations in regulated industries, where a lack of trust in data is a widespread challenge, to build confidence and drive change. Over nine years in technology have taken him from IT support and network infrastructure through cybersecurity and into his current role at Social Work England, a specialist statutory regulator, where he leads an enterprise-wide data transformation agenda, designing governance architecture, deploying technology, and driving change at the highest levels. He holds a BSc in Information Technology and an MSc in Cybersecurity with Advanced Practice (Distinction) from Teesside University.
Olabamiji speaks and facilitates at corporate and industry conferences and contributes to webinars and virtual panels. His workshops are designed to work across the room, giving technical practitioners and leadership teams the depth and context each needs to act. His sessions draw from real experience delivering enterprise-scale data transformation in high-compliance environments.
His commitment to the tech community runs deeper than any single event or platform. As a STEM Ambassador, he volunteers to bring real technology careers to life for young people across the UK. Through Equal Education Chances, a registered UK charity, he works alongside marginalised children and young people, providing mentorship and supporting them to develop the skills and confidence needed to achieve their goals, whatever their circumstances. For Olabamiji, speaking is one part of something larger: a genuine commitment to equipping the next generation to navigate the technology landscape with confidence.
A member of both DAMA International and DAMA UK, he is embedded in the global data management professional community. His central argument is one he returns to repeatedly: cybersecurity and data management are interdependent disciplines, and it is precisely at that intersection where the greatest organisational risk lives and where the most resilient practice begins.

Securing What You Cannot Trust: Where Data Quality and Cybersecurity Converge
Every organisation investing in security controls, compliance frameworks, and audit processes is operating on an assumption. That the data being protected is understood, complete, and trustworthy. In most organisations, it is not, and the consequences reach far beyond the data team into the parts of the organisation that cannot afford to be wrong.
Data quality is a cybersecurity imperative, and recognising it as one is where more resilient security practice begins. When data assets are misidentified or ungoverned, attackers find the gaps before you do. Incomplete audit trails do not just slow incident response, they make accurate response nearly impossible. Ungoverned data flows grow exposure in ways that even well-designed security architectures were never built to see. Each of these failures shares a common root: cybersecurity and data management treated as independent disciplines, when their interdependencies are precisely where the greatest risk lives. Through the lens of data asset discovery, metadata management, audit log integrity, and data flow governance, this session equips attendees with the technical insight needed to identify and address the points where data quality and cybersecurity intersect most critically.
Attendees will leave with a functional framework for identifying where data quality failures create security risk in their own environments and concrete approaches for closing those gaps without restructuring existing security investments. This session is for anyone who works with, protects, or is responsible for data across any industry, any sector. If you have ever assumed the data beneath your controls is sound, this session is for you.
