From ATM networks to crypto exchanges to the Nasdaq floor — 25 years of building security programs that survive scrutiny under pressure.
I'm Ron Moore, founder of NTD Consulting.
For 25+ years, I've worked at the intersection of FinTech, payments, and digital assets. I've led security programs through SPAC transactions, Nasdaq listings, SOC 2 audits, PCI DSS assessments, and NYDFS examinations.
I don't install firewalls. I don't run penetration tests. I do the things that keep CEOs and CFOs awake at night:
If you're facing one of these questions, I'd be happy to listen. First call is always free, always useful, never a pitch.
Fractional CISO and AI governance advisory for FinTech and crypto companies. Working with 2–3 clients at a time on security program leadership, compliance readiness, and investor diligence.
Built and led the security program through the company's SPAC transaction and public listing on Nasdaq. Managed SOC 2, PCI DSS, and regulatory compliance at the public company level. Represented security to the board, investors, and regulators.
Led technology and security initiatives for one of the world's largest ATM networks, managing risk across thousands of endpoints and billions in transaction volume.
Progressive leadership roles across financial services, payments infrastructure, and emerging digital asset companies. Deep expertise in SOX, SOC 2, NIST CSF, NYDFS, PCI DSS, and AI governance.
Security isn't a checklist. It's a series of judgment calls under uncertainty. I bring the judgment that comes from having made those calls at the public company level.
I work with 2–3 companies at a time. That's not scarcity marketing — it's the only way I can sleep at night knowing I can respond to an incident within 2 hours.
I've been the person answering the 2am call. I've been the person in the boardroom explaining a breach. I've been the person telling a CEO what not to say to the press. Theory is cheap. Experience is expensive.
There's a difference between passing an audit and surviving investor diligence. I optimize for the latter. Auditors check boxes. Investors check credibility.
I offer free 30-minute security readiness assessments. No pitch, no pressure — just direct feedback on your biggest gaps.
