David Newton,MSc,(OCISP) — Software Engineer
I am a Senior information Security Risk Consultant with a strong technical foundation in cybersecurity, penetration testing, and threat analysis. I specialize in identifying, assessing, and mitigating information security risks by aligning technical findings with business impact and regulatory requirements. With hands-on experience across security assessments, vulnerability analysis, and risk management, I help organizations understand where their real risks lie not just what vulnerabilities exist. I’ve worked with security tools and frameworks to uncover critical exposures, improve security posture, and support informed decision-making at both technical and executive levels. My background spans offensive security concepts, risk assessments, access control reviews, and security operations, enabling me to bridge the gap between technical security teams and business stakeholders. I am particularly passionate about proactive risk identification, continuous security improvement, and building resilient systems.
