🔒 You need security that actually works — not a report that says it does. The organisations I work with want to find the vulnerabilities that matter, fix them with confidence, and get on with growing their business without security becoming the thing that stops them. I have delivered over 1,000 commercial penetration tests across 27 years. Not side projects. Not internal assessments. Full mission-critical engagements for high street and investment banks, hedge funds, insurance firms, government departments, police, military, national infrastructure, retailers, law firms, airports and more. I led the security architecture for the Athens 2004 Olympics internet-facing systems. I was lead architect on the UK Cyber Essentials scheme at launch. I have published in commercial security press and guest lectured at universities. There is a difference between someone who does penetration testing and someone who has seen every flavour of environment, every attack pattern, and every way organisations deceive themselves about their security posture. That difference is what you are hiring. 🎯 Where can I help: 🗡️ Network & Infrastructure Penetration Testing — adversarial testing of internal and external infrastructure, finding exploitable exposures before an attacker does. 🌐 Application Penetration Testing — web application and API security testing against real attack patterns: authentication, authorisation, input handling and business logic flaws. ☁️ Microsoft 365 Security Assessment — Entra ID, Conditional Access, PIM, Intune, DLP, sensitivity labelling, Exchange Online and Defender for Office 365. 🔷 Azure Security Assessment — identity and access management, network controls, storage and key management, Defender for Cloud posture, and monitoring coverage. 🟢 Google Workspace, GCP & AWS Security Assessments — configuration and access control assessments across Google and Amazon cloud environments. 🏛️ Security Architecture and Risk Advisory — senior technical input on architecture decisions, control design and risk without a full engagement commitment. 👤 Every engagement is delivered directly by me — David Morgan, founder of Metis Security. No account management layer, no junior handoffs, no templated output. You work with the person conducting the analysis and writing the report. 📋 How I work is as important as what I find Every finding in my reports is one I will defend as genuinely material to your environment. No padding, no low-hanging fruit included to justify the fee, no default risk ratings copied from a scanner. If your context changes the risk, the rating reflects that. What you receive: ✅ A visually structured report with clear separation between executive summary, findings and remediation roadmap — written to be read by people who are not security specialists ✅ Risk ratings adjusted to your specific environment and context, not defaulted from a tool ✅ A prioritised remediation roadmap so your team knows exactly what to fix first and why it matters commercially ✅ Immediate escalation of any high-risk finding or schedule-affecting issue during the engagement — you are never waiting until the end to hear something important ✅ Daily status updates so you always know where the engagement stands ✅ A debrief call at close to walk through findings, answer questions and finalise the report before it is delivered CISSP | ISSAP | Microsoft Security certifications | 27 years If you need to know whether your environment is genuinely secure — not whether it looks configured — I am worth a conversation.

Are your deployments slow, breaking at the worst moments, or costing more than they should? Is your team spending hours on manual releases instead of shipping features? If your CI/CD pipelines are fragile, your Azure infrastructure is growing out of control, or your DevOps processes exist only on paper, you are dealing with a problem that will not fix itself. I am a DevOps Engineer and Azure Architect with 10+ years of experience helping product teams and growing companies build cloud infrastructure that actually works. Whether it is a startup scaling fast or an enterprise team drowning in legacy pipelines, I come in, assess the real state of things, and build systems that are stable, automated, and cost-efficient. My primary expertise is Microsoft Azure and Azure DevOps, end to end. That means everything from designing multi-stage Azure DevOps pipelines and managing releases without downtime, to setting up Azure DevOps RBAC, securing environments, and integrating Azure DevOps with Kubernetes clusters running on AKS. I have built Azure DevOps workflows for teams of 5 and teams of 150, and the approach scales both ways. Every Azure DevOps implementation I deliver is built around real business goals, not just tooling checkboxes. Beyond Azure DevOps, I work across the full infrastructure stack. I design Cloud Architecture using Terraform for Infrastructure as Code, manage containerized workloads with Kubernetes and Docker, and implement Deployment Automation that removes human error from the release process. For data-heavy projects, I build pipelines with Azure Data Factory to handle ETL, orchestration, and integration between services. For teams building decentralized or blockchain-integrated solutions, I have worked with Azure Blockchain Service as part of broader Microsoft Azure infrastructure setups, combining it with the same security and governance standards applied across all environments. As an Azure Architect, I cover Cloud Computing governance, cost optimization, and FinOps practices, so your Azure bill reflects actual usage, not waste. I apply the same structured thinking to Network Security, Linux and Windows Server environments, and multi-cloud setups when needed. When projects require Amazon Web Services, I bring the same DevOps standards to AWS, including AWS DevOps pipelines, CI/CD automation, and infrastructure managed through Terraform. I also work with Google Cloud Platform for teams running workloads across multiple providers. AI Automation is a growing part of what I do. As more teams start integrating AI into their products and workflows, I help them connect those AI components to production infrastructure properly, with reliable pipelines, automated testing, and deployment flows that treat AI workloads the same way as any other service. I also collaborate closely with full stack developer teams to improve release processes, deployment reliability, and infrastructure scalability, making sure the gap between development and operations is as small as possible. What clients usually need help with: ✔ Stabilizing Azure DevOps pipelines and deployment workflows ✔ Building scalable Kubernetes infrastructure ✔ Migrating legacy infrastructure to Microsoft Azure ✔ Reducing cloud costs and improving DevOps efficiency ✔ Designing secure Cloud Architecture for growing products ✔ Automating deployments with Terraform and CI/CD ✔ Improving monitoring, security, and infrastructure reliability ✔ Implementing AI Automation into existing delivery workflows The full technology range I work with includes: Azure DevOps, Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Kubernetes, Docker, Terraform, Ansible, CI/CD, Git, SQL, Python, Linux, Windows Server, Azure Data Factory, Azure Blockchain Service, Cloud Architecture, Deployment Automation, Network Security, and more. Certifications: ✅ 7x Microsoft Azure Certified ✅ Kubernetes Certified ✅ Terraform Certified If your infrastructure needs structure, your pipelines need reliability, or your cloud costs are climbing without clear control, send me a message here on Upwork. Describe the situation and I will come back with a clear breakdown and concrete next steps.
