Sam McNaull is a builder, problem-solver, and founder of Iron Fort—a platform redefining how organizations approach security compliance. With deep experience guiding government agencies and large enterprises through frameworks like NIST 800-53, ITSG-33, ISO 27001, and CMMC, Sam saw firsthand the cost of fragmented, reactive compliance processes. Rather than accept the status quo, he launched Iron Fort to tackle the problem at its root: turning compliance into a continuous, intelligent, and integrated part of operations.
Sam’s leadership blends pragmatism with vision—he works alongside clients in the trenches while building toward a future where compliance is a competitive asset, not a last-minute scramble. He’s unafraid to challenge entrenched thinking, question outdated workflows, and push for solutions that work at scale. Today, Sam is leading a movement to modernize the compliance space through automation, AI, and a deep commitment to solving real-world problems with his customers.

During this time she has helped hundreds of organizations of all shapes, sizes, and geographies recover and learn from cyberattacks, defined strategy for pioneering security products and technologies, and is a regular speaker at security conferences around the world. She authors articles and blogs for various security publications, has a strong passion for mentoring, and often volunteers at community events, including BSides, The Diana Initiative, and Blue Team Village (DEFCON).
