Don't worry about the official criminal record. I've been a software developer for just over 20 years....had a DBS check once. Just once.

You clearly are talented so stop telling yourself that.

Have you thought about starting your own security consultancy?

the quandary of either hiring employees whose hacking efforts on my company's infrastructure I can defeat / defy and hiring someone who I can't protect myself from is going to come down to some very individual assessments that I don't believe a DBS check can help me with.
