Aengus O’Donoghue

Aengus is a pragmatic and commercially sharp security and risk leader who works with scaling technology companies to design, build, and strengthen their security functions. He supports organisations across information security, privacy, risk, compliance, and data governance – with a focus on turning complex regulatory and technical requirements into clear, actionable steps that enable growth.

He specialises in helping ambitious companies navigate critical inflection points: establishing security programmes from the ground up, achieving SOC2 and ISO 27001, preparing for enterprise sales in regulated markets, and responding to high-stakes incidents. His approach is grounded in practicality – prioritising meaningful risk reduction over compliance theatre.

Aengus is as comfortable advising leadership teams on risk appetite and strategy as he is working hands-on with technical teams to review architecture and controls. Clients value his ability to cut through noise, focus on what matters, and build security capabilities that scale with the business.
