About the webmaster
Richard S. Keirstead (CISSP, CISM, CGEIT, CISA, MBCI, ISO27001 LA, M.A., B.A., KCTJ) came to Japan from Montreal, Canada in 1988. He intended to stay only a year to study the Kyokushinkai style of Japanese karate and earn a black belt. But things changed in all those years.
In between then and now, I have done or am doing the following:
- Had several Japanese publications released
- Earned a postgraduate degree in international business law.
- Become an information security professional and has been in senior technical management of several small companies
- Am currently an executive at Ernst & Young ShinNihon LLC, the largest professional services firm in Japan. The firm has interests in accounting, audit, and Advisory Services and I lead the information security practice.
- Earned professional certifications that are par for the course in my field. I am a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Security Manager (CISM), Certified in the Governance of IT, Certified Information Systems Auditor, a certified auditor for ISO/IEC 27001 and a certified Member of the Business Continuity Institute (MBCI).
- Am a Knight Commandeur of the Temple of Jerusalem (KCTJ), The Sovereign Military Order of the Temple of Jerusalem, Priory of St. James, Canada. I was knighted in 1997. This organization is involved in charitable works and maintains the values of Christianity and chivalry.
