David Ashby

Co-founder, Audit Readiness Group
Quality · compliance · security

David's background is quality, safety, and compliance at Quality Electrical Systems: physical audits, ISO 9001 mapped checklists, nonconformance processing, and engineering interview guides. The same management-system skeleton runs under ISO 9001 and ISO 27001, which is why one firm can prepare a manufacturer for both.

He leads Adversarial Risk Group, the firm's security practice, which runs on-site physical audits and continuous adversarial simulation for the same mid-market manufacturers. He is a top-three creator on n8n.io and builds that simulation layer directly.

On an engagement, David handles the overlap: where a customer contract obliges you to protect information, where the quality system already documents the process that touches it, and what a security standard would ask for on top.
