Our 20 years in Information Security Spans across diverse Regulated industries
Helping organizations strengthen their cybersecurity posture. My career has always been grounded in one core principle: security is holistic. Protecting your digital assets is just one part of the puzzle. From physical resources to human assets, I understand that true security requires an integrated approach.
My expertise is in identifying risks, recommending tailored strategies, and empowering teams through education on how to mitigate those risks. I believe in educating others on the impact of security threats, so you’re not just applying solutions, but truly understanding why they matter and how they protect you.
I Don’t Just Work!
Hi, I’m Zakiya
Whether it’s something as simple as enforcing multi-factor authentication or setting up stricter firewall rules, I ensure that your business is prepared for when, not if, a breach occurs.

I work to build lasting security solutions that evolve with you.
My core expertise lies in my ability to identify risks, recommend strategies, and educate others on how to assess the risks and minimize vulnerabilities in their business operations. I go beyond traditional information security methods to ensure others understand the risks, impact, and options as they explore information security solutions and controls to protect their assets. These solutions can be as simple as enforcing multi-factor passwords to setting stricter firewall rules to identify social engineering tactics.
Client Success and Testimonials
Throughout my career, I’ve helped numerous organizations achieve a more secure and resilient business. One of my proudest achievements was identifying critical internal threats that had been overlooked, such as internal theft, unauthorized payments, and intellectual property theft—highlighting the comprehensive nature of my approach to information security.
Here's what some of my clients have said about working with me:
Previous Client
"When my digital life was turned upside down after being hacked, I was overwhelmed and unsure where to even begin. Working with Zakiya was a game-changer. She not only helped me reclaim access to my accounts, but she also explained the steps in a way I could understand and act on immediately.
What impressed me most was how thorough she was—she uncovered risks I didn’t even realize existed and gave me clear, preventative measures to protect myself moving forward. Thanks to her guidance, I now feel confident and secure managing my online presence. I would recommend her services to anyone who values peace of mind and wants a trusted professional in their corner."
Approach and Philosophy
At Resilient Excellence Consulting, we don’t believe in simply checking boxes when it comes to cybersecurity. It’s a mindset shift—one that integrates knowledge building, collaborative problem-solving, and strategic communication across your organization. I work with you to establish a culture of security that doesn’t just protect data but fortifies all aspects of your business: from your physical resources to your human assets.
My philosophy emphasizes that information security is not just a set of tools or policies; it’s a foundation for long-term resilience. This mindset is what makes your business stronger, more adaptable, and better prepared for the challenges ahead.
Continuous Learning: Staying Ahead of Emerging Threats
The world of cybersecurity is dynamic and constantly evolving. As threats become more sophisticated, staying on top of the latest trends, best practices, and tools is critical. I am committed to ongoing professional development and industry-wide collaboration with security professionals.
This commitment ensures that my clients always benefit from cutting-edge security practices, backed by a deep understanding of the intricacies and nuances that make up effective protection. I am dedicated to providing solutions that are not only current but also mindfully designed to keep your business, data, and assets safe in an ever-changing landscape.
The Personal Touch: Beyond Business, It’s a Commitment
When I’m not immersed in consulting, you’ll find me indulging in my favorite YouTube channels, exploring music, podcasts, or audiobooks. I enjoy learning from others’ lived experiences, as it aligns with my consulting philosophy: that personal growth and knowledge-building are keys to long-term success. This passion and dedication translate into how I approach security—because securing your business and data is as personal to me as it is to you.
Ready to Fortify Your Business?
I know the fear and frustration that come with having your information compromised.
Cyberattacks, data breaches, and financial theft are not just technical failures—they’re personal violations that leave long-lasting emotional and financial scars. That’s why I take information security seriously. Complacency is the greatest threat, because cybercriminals don’t wait for the “perfect” moment to strike. They target vulnerabilities when they appear.
It’s not a matter of “if” it happens to you—it’s a matter of when. The question is: Will you exhibit resilient excellence when the time comes?
If you’re ready to take proactive steps to protect your business, resources, and people, I’m here to help. Let’s connect to talk about how to build a security strategy that will fortify your enterprise for the future.
