What makes us different

Security that speaks engineering — and the boardroom.

Most security shops sell you another tool or hand you a report. We work inside the platform you already bought — closing the findings, fixing the over-privileged service account three layers deep, and shipping the guardrails and evidence your next SOC 2 or ISO 27001 audit will ask for.

01
We finish what your cloud security platform started
You just bought a cloud security platform. Now the dashboard is red and the backlog isn't moving. We operationalize the tool you already paid for, close the findings, and turn the output into audit-ready evidence — not another quarterly review.
02
Built for SMBs without a security team
No CISO, no GRC analyst, an engineering team already at capacity — and an enterprise deal blocked on SOC 2 or ISO 27001. We slot in as the operator who actually does the work, at the speed cloud-native teams ship.
03
AI security fluency before it was mainstream
MCP server architecture, agentic pipeline security, model supply chain integrity — we've designed, shipped, and run these systems in production.
04
Coaching over gatekeeping
Security gets built into how your teams already work — not as a policy document dropped from outside. We ship alongside engineering, not over the top of it.
How we work

Precision, clarity,
and no surprises.

Same operator playbook for the SMB closing a SOC 2 gap and the scaling team rolling out AI governance. Built for environments where a bad call means a broken deploy, a stalled roadmap, or a dropped enterprise deal — not just a failed audit.

1
Discovery

We map your environment before we operate in it — cloud accounts, trust boundaries, AI systems, identity posture, and team structure. No assumptions, no templates applied blindly.

Interviews · Asset mapping · Threat intel briefing
2
Assessment

Hands-on technical work against the frameworks that matter for your environment. We flag what's exploitable, not just what's technically non-compliant.

Configuration review · IAM audit · OT boundary analysis
3
Workflow enablement

We operationalize the cloud security platform you already bought, close the open findings with engineering, and wire alerts into the tools your team already uses. Pilots graduate. Backlogs shrink.

Tool audit · Operationalization · Workflow engineering
4
Remediation roadmap

We prioritize findings by actual risk and operational feasibility. You get a 30/60/90-day plan that accounts for your engineering constraints — because "patch immediately" isn't always viable.

Delivery and debrief

Board-ready report. Engineering-ready technical specifics. Live debrief with your leadership team included in every engagement — not as an add-on.

"The best security programs don't slow engineering down. They give engineering teams the confidence to move fast because they know what they're building on is solid."

Who we serve

SMBs closing their first audit.
Scaling teams shipping AI.

The cards below show where we’ve done the work. SMBs without a dedicated security team. Scaling cloud-native teams ($50M–$500M) where the attack surface and AI footprint are outrunning the program. And cloud providers, partners, and contractors serving Federal and Crown corporation customers.

Just bought a cloud security platform

No CISO, no GRC analyst, engineering at capacity. The platform is in, the dashboard is red, and an enterprise deal is waiting on SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

Public Sector · Cloud Providers
Cloud providers, partners & contractors

Companies selling cloud services, software, or capabilities into U.S. federal agencies or Canadian Crown corporations. We build the FedRAMP, FedRAMP 20x, NIST 800-53, ITSG-33, and Protected B evidence that unlocks the contract.

Energy & Utilities
Regulated cloud migrations

Compliance obligations and cloud migration creating regulatory pressure that generalist consultants struggle to navigate credibly.

🔐
Scaling cloud-native
Outgrowing the first security program

Attack surface and AI footprint expanding faster than the security program can adapt — services, identities, and pipelines multiplying with every release.

🤖
AI adoption
Teams shipping AI features

Companies embedding AI and agentic workflows into their products and operations — without the governance frameworks to do it safely.
