Cybersecurity,
done seriously.

We run senior-led security programs for growth-stage companies and regulated industries. Built on discipline, sharpened with our internal AI workbench.

01 · Thesis

We were founded on an
unfashionable thesis.

The cybersecurity industry mistakes complexity for sophistication.The companies that survive serious adversaries and the companies that get hollowed out look indistinguishable on paper. What separates them is orientation: whether security is a practice the company follows or a product category it bought once and forgot. The mechanics of failure have not changed in twenty years. Cloud configurations drift, identities accumulate permissions nobody audits, a vendor with too much access falls over and pulls you down with it, and a phish that should have failed lands on the one person who clicks. None of that is the variable. The orientation of the company is.

Founding principle
Serious cybersecurity work is not a marketplace problem to be procured. It is a craft problem, to be practiced.

02 · How we work

Old school in discipline.
Cutting edge in execution.

Old school in discipline
  1. 01

    Identity is the perimeter, not the network.

  2. 02

    Risk appetite is set with the executive team, in financial terms.

  3. 03

    Evidence is built into the workflow that creates it.

  4. 04

    Boards see cyber risk in dollars.

Cutting edge in execution
  1. 01

    Regulatory drift is monitored continuously.

  2. 02

    The bureaucratic 60 percent of consulting runs on AI agents.

  3. 03

    Senior practitioners are multiplied by software, not replaced.

  4. 04

    AI risk integrates into the cyber program, not next to it.

03 · Engagement

Three commercial shapes.
Same craft.

Tier I

Quick Sprints

Twelve engagements we have run enough times to deliver in two to four weeks. Each fixes one specific thing. Senior partner in every meeting. Fixed scope, fixed delivery date.

2 to 4 wks · fixed scope
Tier II

vCISO

The CISO office, on retainer. Three intensities, scaled to the regulator on your back and the board cycle ahead.

Month-to-month · multi-year
Tier III

Fractional Security Office

A complete security office. Dedicated team. We own the program, run the team, report to the board.

12 to 24 months · dedicated
04 · The promise
A senior partner runs every engagement.
There is no other model.
05 · Who we work with

We build security programs with people
who treat the craft seriously.

Founders, CISOs, and CFOs at growth-stage companies and regulated mid-caps. The kind of operator whose security program has outgrown a single owner but does not yet justify a forty-person CISO office. They come to us when a specific moment arrives: a US enterprise customer asking for SOC2 with teeth, a regulator’s letter, the board’s first hard question, the week after an incident, the year before an IPO.

30 minutes · zero pitch deck

One conversation.
Thirty minutes.

We do not run a sales process. If you have a specific blocker, bring it to a thirty-minute call. We will tell you what we would do, in how many weeks. If it is not a fit, we will say so. If it is an emergency, we will start in seven days.
