Security baked in, not bolted on.
We make secure engineering boring: threat models, hardened defaults, audit evidence, and incident readiness — all part of normal delivery.
Security is most expensive when it shows up at the end of an engagement. We make it a first-class part of design and delivery so audits stop being events and start being a byproduct.
We don't sell certifications — auditors do that. What we sell is the engineering work that gets you certifiable: threat modeling, hardened defaults, encryption, IAM, logging, incident response. The kind of work that survives a real attacker, not just a checklist.
We've done this in healthcare (HIPAA), finance, and B2B SaaS chasing SOC 2. We work with your auditor, not around them.
The work, in plain language
No buzzwords. Each item below is something we'll do for you, in the order we'll do it.
- 01
Threat-model the system
STRIDE / data-flow analysis to find the attack surface that matters. Output: a written, prioritized list of risks.
- 02
Harden defaults
IAM least privilege, encryption at rest and in transit, secrets management, network boundaries, and dependency scanning baked into CI.
- 03
Centralize logging and alerting
Audit logs, security events, and identity events captured in one place with retention that satisfies your auditor.
- 04
Build the secure SDLC
PR templates, code review checklists, dependency review, SAST, secrets scanning, and a documented release process.
- 05
Run incident response drills
We rehearse the worst day before it happens — runbook, comms tree, decision authority — so on-call doesn't freeze.
- 06
Generate audit-ready evidence
Reports, dashboards, and policy artifacts mapped to SOC 2 / HIPAA controls so audits become a paperwork exercise, not a fire drill.
What lands in your repo
- Threat model document
- Risk register and remediation backlog
- IAM & access control architecture
- Centralized logging & alerting setup
- CI security gates (SAST, SCA, secrets)
- Incident response runbook
- Policy templates aligned to SOC 2 / HIPAA
- Pen-test remediation plan (if applicable)
Who this fits
- Software companies starting SOC 2
- Healthcare-adjacent companies with PHI
- Fintech & B2B teams enterprise-selling
- Companies post-incident wanting to harden
- Engineering orgs without a dedicated AppSec
- Platforms preparing for procurement reviews
Closed 38 critical findings in 6 weeks ahead of a SOC 2 Type 1 audit
We threat-modeled a Series B SaaS platform, rebuilt IAM, centralized logs, and shipped audit-ready policy artifacts. The team passed Type 1 on the first attempt and entered the Type 2 observation window without backlog.
- Critical findings at audit
