Frank Coyle

Frank Coyle is a technology and security consultant based in New Zealand, with deep experience across IT operations, cybersecurity, software delivery, cloud platforms, governance, risk, and compliance.

He has led technology and security functions in complex business environments, including ISO 27001 implementation, security governance, platform operations, incident response, and the practical adoption of AI tools in software and business workflows.

Frank writes for people and organisations who know AI matters, but are tired of the hype, scaremongering, and vague promises. His work focuses on helping small businesses, charities, creative organisations, and non-technical teams use AI safely, cheaply, and effectively - not as a magic trick, but as a practical tool for getting real work done.

His approach is grounded, plain-spoken, and risk-aware: use the tools, understand the risks, build sensible guardrails, and avoid turning AI adoption into either a panic project or a corporate theatre exercise.
