Making cybersecurity practical, understandable and human.

Heather Noggle

Codistac

Heather Noggle owns Codistac, a Springfield consulting firm that helps small businesses and technology providers build cybersecurity programs that fit. Her approach, Cybersecurity for People, starts with a simple truth: most breaches trace back to human actions, not sophisticated hacking.

With more than 25 years across software, HR and information security, Heather translates "techno-speak" into what one colleague calls "real people speak." She is a CMMC Certified Assessor and serves Defense Industrial Base clients alongside Springfield-area businesses. She writes for SecureWorld and the Springfield Business Journal and has been mentioned in the Wall Street Journal.

"Meet people where they are. Be a good teammate. Lead when no one else is."

Highlights

  • Part of five federal compliance assessments since May, all with perfect scores

  • Board member, Missouri Cybersecurity Center of Excellence

  • More than 35 talks, keynotes and webinars, including civic talks for local small businesses
