Six ways we break in before they do

Every engagement partner-led. No junior-run projects, no rebadged scanner output.

Featured

Penetration testing

Black-box, grey-box, internal. Application + infrastructure. Quarterly and on-demand.

Incident response

Active-breach triage. Retainer clients get a partner on a call within 60 minutes.

Red team

Multi-week adversarial engagements — physical and social engineering on request.

Architecture review

Threat modelling and design review before launch, not after the incident.

Compliance

SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS — readiness, audit prep, remediation.

Training

Live secure-engineering training built from our own casework. CPE-eligible.

Before you engage

How do engagements start?+

NDA first, then a scoping call with a partner. You get a written proposal with fixed pricing within five business days.

We're mid-breach. What do we do?+

Call the hotline. Retainer clients get a partner within 60 minutes; non-retainer triage is subject to bench availability — we will tell you honestly on the call.

Do you replace our compliance auditor?+

No — we prepare you for the audit and remediate findings. Independence matters; we don't audit our own work.

Can findings stay off email?+

Yes. Reports are delivered through an encrypted portal, and we routinely work under counsel privilege on IR matters.

Can you work in cleared environments?+

Clearance status is confirmed per engagement on the scoping call, and cleared-facility work is scoped case by case rather than assumed. Ask early — it changes the timeline more than the price.

Will you retest after fixes?+

One retest round is included in every assessment. Regression findings are documented in the same report chain.

Scoping calls are free, partner-led, and under NDA from the first minute.
