Noel Goodwin
Cybersecurity Engineer
Noel Goodwin brings over seven years of cybersecurity and IT infrastructure experience to Bit-Wizards.
Biography
Before joining, he served as the Information Security Lead at the American Academy of Actuaries, where he built the security program from scratch, implementing MFA, deploying Splunk for SIEM monitoring, managing vulnerability assessments with Nessus, IAM, and leading an Azure infrastructure migration.
Previously, he worked as a cybersecurity consultant with PwC, supporting federal clients with NIST 800-53 compliance and RMF documentation. He holds an active CompTIA Security+ CE and is pursuing his CISSP.
Noel’s wife is an active-duty Air Force member stationed at Eglin AFB, making Fort Walton Beach home. When he discovered Bit-Wizards was helping defense contractors achieve CMMC compliance, the opportunity was a natural fit. He is committed to helping every client see protecting CUI as a competitive advantage.
