Cybersecurity

Most breaches aren't clever. Your defenses should make them impossible anyway.

Practical, layered security for small and growing businesses — designed by people who've spent careers on both sides: securing financial institutions, and professionally breaking into companies to prove where they're weak.

The attacks that actually hit small businesses are unglamorous: a convincing phishing email, a reused password, a machine that missed six months of updates. Which is good news — because unglamorous attacks fail against disciplined basics. We implement those basics properly, layer protections on top, and train your team until the phishing email gets reported instead of clicked.

The baseline (in everything we manage)

The floor we won't go below.

Multi-factor authentication everywhere it matters. Managed endpoint protection on every machine. Operating system and application patching on schedule. Email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC) and phishing protection. Working, verified backups. This isn't an upgrade — it's the minimum we're willing to put our name on.

The human layer

Your team: biggest risk, or first line of defense.

Security awareness training that doesn't feel like punishment, and phishing simulations designed by a career red teamer — realistic enough to matter, humane enough to teach instead of shame. Password managers rolled out so “the spreadsheet” finally dies. Clear, humane procedures for the day someone clicks the wrong thing anyway — because someone eventually will, and what happens in the next hour matters more than the click.

The extra layers

For businesses with more to protect.

Dark web monitoring for exposed credentials. Hardening of access and admin accounts. AI-assisted anomaly monitoring across the environments we manage. Security reviews for cyber-insurance questionnaires — increasingly the moment small businesses discover what they're missing.

Offensive security

Defenses designed by someone who breaks in for a living.

Our founding team includes a career penetration tester — a decade of red teaming and adversary simulation for organizations including a global payments company, now applied to defending businesses like yours. That changes how we build: every environment is designed by people who know exactly how attackers actually get in, because getting in was the job.

Offensive engagements are scoped, fixed-price projects — available to managed clients and standalone.

Honest scope

What we are — and aren't.

We're still not a 24/7 security operations center, and we still won't pretend to be one. What we now are is rarer: a firm our size with in-house offensive-security expertise — the same discipline global enterprises pay top-tier consultancies for, applied to businesses those consultancies don't serve. The door gets locked by people who know every way through it.

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot.

We're small. Are we really a target?
Small businesses are the favorite target — attackers automate, and automation doesn't care about headcount. The good news: the same automation fails against basic discipline.
Do you handle cyber-insurance requirements?
We help you meet the technical controls insurers ask about — MFA, backups, endpoint protection, training — and help you answer the questionnaire truthfully.
What happens if we get hit?
Contained fast, investigated honestly, restored from verified backups, and documented — followed by fixing whatever let it happen.
Do you do penetration testing?
Yes — in-house, by a career penetration tester, as a scoped fixed-price project. Most firms our size resell this; we perform it.
Can you assess our AI tools?
Yes. If your team is adopting AI — or building products on it — we assess the security of that adoption: prompt injection, data exposure, and agent permissions. Ask about it on the call.
