From ATM networks to crypto exchanges to the Nasdaq floor — 25 years of building technology organizations that survive scrutiny under pressure.
NTD Consulting was founded by a technology executive who has served as CTO/CIO at public companies and CISO at a Nasdaq-listed digital asset platform.
For 25+ years, the principal has built and led global technology organizations — scaling engineering teams, architecting cloud infrastructure, and navigating the security and compliance demands of regulated financial services. The through-line has always been the same: technology leadership at the intersection of innovation, risk, and governance.
The focus today is fractional CISO and AI governance advisory — but the perspective is that of a technology leader who has built the infrastructure, managed the teams, and answered to investors and regulators.
If you're facing a fundraise, audit, regulatory exam, or public listing, the first call is always free, always useful, never a pitch.
The company had a SOC 2 report but no documented incident response process and no crypto-specific controls. Investors flagged key management as a diligence risk.
What we did: Built a 90-day investor readiness program, ran a tabletop exercise, documented custody and key controls, and created a board-ready risk register.
Outcome: Security diligence was cleared in two rounds, the term sheet closed on time, and the company retained NTD for ongoing fractional CISO support.
Security isn't a checklist. It's a series of judgment calls under uncertainty. NTD brings the judgment that comes from having made those calls at the CTO, CIO, and CISO level — across public companies, M&A transactions, and regulatory examinations.
We work with 2–3 companies at a time. That's not scarcity marketing — it's the only way to maintain the responsiveness and depth that clients actually need when an incident or diligence deadline arrives.
We've been the person answering the 2am call. We've been the person in the boardroom explaining risk to the audit committee. We've been the person architecting cloud infrastructure, hiring engineering teams, and managing P&L. Theory is cheap. Experience across the technology stack is not.
There's a difference between passing an audit and surviving investor diligence. We optimize for the latter. Auditors check boxes. Investors check credibility — and they can tell the difference between a policy written by a consultant and a program run by an operator.
We offer free 30-minute security readiness assessments. No pitch, no pressure — just direct feedback on your biggest gaps.
