Meet Margaret
Margaret Dibor is a seasoned cybersecurity leader and enterprise security specialist with over 15 years of experience in information security strategy, risk management, and data privacy. She has developed and implemented defense-in-depth security strategies for organizations across multiple industries, with a focus on governance, regulatory compliance, and enabling businesses to navigate complex cyber challenges with confidence.
In Her Words
"I recognized my entrepreneurial spirit quite late, when I moved from Poland to the UK. However, I had always been curious, driven, and involved with a number of projects. In Poland, I spent my time teaching in college and leading the IT department, but in England, I began offering IT services as a business."
"My portfolio quickly grew, and I expanded my work to include awareness sessions and training. As a service provider, I noticed an increasing demand for cybersecurity expertise."
"This prompted me to pursue further education, and in 2017 I completed a master's degree in Computer Networking and Cybersecurity."
The Entrepreneurial Journey
The Beginning of Growth
"Since then, I have always sought opportunities to innovate and make a meaningful difference, whether by launching new projects, supporting others in their initiatives, or finding creative ways to solve complex problems. That initial spark continues to fuel my passion for entrepreneurship today."
Since 2017, I have primarily worked with international companies, helping clients define and implement data protection strategies and cybersecurity tools. I specialize in data privacy and risk management frameworks, and over time, I learned that a holistic approach is key to effective data protection.
Innovation Through Chatawork
A turning point came with the development of Chatawork, our compliance and maturity platform for small businesses. It brought together everything I had learned—how to simplify complex security concepts, empower clients without overwhelming them, and scale impact beyond one-on-one consulting.
Although everything was moving along, it was not smooth sailing! There have been setbacks: delayed funding, long sales cycles, and moments of being underestimated. Yet each challenge sharpened my message, evolved my business model, and clarified who I serve and how I can create the greatest impact.
Global Perspective
Running businesses in both the UK and Canada gave me a clear understanding of how different environments shape entrepreneurial paths. In the UK, expertise alone often opened doors, with certifications, frameworks, and my NHS project portfolio, I quickly gained trust.
In Canada, I discovered that relationships come first. Building credibility required time, patience, and a strong network, which I continue to develop by forming partnerships and engaging in collaborative initiatives.

A Career Built on Risks
"I have built my career by taking risks, often stepping away from the comfort of full-time roles and predictable income to create something of my own."
"Rebuilding my network, reputation, and client base from scratch meant long nights, uncertain months, and wearing every hat in the business."
"In the early stages, I wore many hats, and I managed everything, but growth taught me the value of delegation and building capable teams."
Moving Into The Future
At Etuteki Lab, we believe that data security and compliance should be accessible, understandable, and actionable for every small and mid-sized business. For too long, these organizations have been left behind, struggling to navigate complex regulations with limited resources and little guidance.
We are changing that. Through tailored consulting services for highly regulated sectors and our AI-powered platform, Chatawork, we give businesses the tools to self-assess, strengthen, and maintain their security and compliance.
Chatawork is like having a virtual CISO and privacy officer in your pocket—practical, intuitive, and grounded in real-world expertise. But this is about more than services or software. It is about building a culture where security becomes a natural part of how businesses operate.
By fostering trusted partnerships, raising the standard for information security, and inspiring others to embrace resilience and innovation, we are creating lasting change.
"Moving into 2026, we are seeking partners, clients, and collaborators who share our commitment to empowering small and mid-sized businesses. If you believe in this mission, we invite you to join us in shaping a future where every organization has the tools, confidence, and knowledge to protect what matters most."
