Welcome to Failure Management — a space where technology, security, and humanity meet.

My name is Jesper Joachim Raarup, and I spend most of my professional life building and leading security services — helping organizations navigate risk, compliance, and the ever-changing world of cyber threats. I work hands-on with Microsoft security technologies, building frameworks that protect businesses and keep them resilient when things go wrong.

But Failure Management is not just about cybersecurity. It’s about a way of thinking.

I grew up with a stutter — and while it can make the simplest words feel like the hardest challenges, it’s also shaped how I see the world. Stuttering taught me that resilience isn’t about avoiding failure; it’s about finding new ways to move forward when things don’t go smoothly. It’s about persistence, patience, and adapting — qualities that turn out to be just as valuable in technology as in everyday life.

On this blog, I share:

  • Practical insights from the frontline of security operations.
  • Real-world takes on new features, tools, and compliance frameworks.
  • Personal reflections on resilience, perspective, and how failure can be turned into strength.

Whether you’re here for security, personal stories, or simply a fresh perspective on what it means to grow through failure — I hope you find something useful, human, and a little bit different.

Because in the end, managing failure is not about avoiding it — it’s about making it part of the design.
