Goldenrod Consulting was founded to bring the kind of cybersecurity thinking typically reserved for large enterprises to organizations of every size — with the same rigour, depth, and accountability.
Marc Kneppers brings more than 25 years of hands-on cybersecurity leadership earned at one of Canada's largest telecommunications companies.
His career spans the full arc of the modern Internet: securing the early commercial Internet, hardening mobility networks, contributing to a major Canadian telco's enterprise cybersecurity program, and playing a key role in securing Canada's 5G critical infrastructure. That depth of experience is what Goldenrod Consulting delivers to every client engagement.
Marc has led security for mergers and acquisitions, ensuring reliable risk evaluation and secure integration during corporate transitions. He has developed and contributed to national cybersecurity standards, and executed corporate security programs that span standards, operations, data analysis, compliance and beyond.
Whether working with an SMB that needs its first security framework, or advising an enterprise on complex supply chain risk, Marc brings the same rigour, clarity, and practical focus to the table.
