About David Roberts

I am a highly credentialed cybersecurity and security framework expert with entrepreneurial and C-level experience in multiple technical organizations spanning over 2 decades. Professionally, I am at my best when actively engaged with small high performing teams on complex IT, security, risk, or compliance projects. I am always contextualizing the technical side of the business with the operational side ensuring profitable action is being taken towards primary goals. I am most proud of recent large projects including- Core Technologies: system-wide FISMA Moderate certification covering all security, compliance, and regulatory components for the companies winning part of the GSA EIS contract, a 15-year,$50 billion technology services contract (IDIQ) covering 37 technical categories- Calloquy: organizational SOC 2 compliance within the first 18 months onboard at a startup covering not only the SaaS side of the business, but also the industry changing Court Reporting side of the business that is notably human and process centric.I hold multiple degrees including a MAR from Liberty University, MATS from American University of Biblical Studies, BBA from Clayton State University, and recent programs in Technology Leadership from Cornell University. I currently hold the following industry credentialing: CISSP, CCSP, SSCP, CAP, CSM®, CCP, & AZ-900. I am also prepping for the super fun Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) by EC Council, not just for another cert, but rather to ensure I stay sharp in a rapidly changing industry. Personally, my family says that when I\'m not working, my favorite thing to do is work. I enjoy developing my property, building things, working on various landscaping projects, and actively enjoying the outdoors. I\'m an avid college football fan. “Go Ducks!”.and lover of the Outdoor Channel. “Hey, Jim Shockey!” In my dream life, I would climb Mt. Everest, caribou hunt in northern Brooks Range of the Arctic Circle in Alaska, and live on 100+ acres in Montana where “A River Runs Through It”.
