Service pillar 05 / 06

Enterprise-ready before your first enterprise deal.

Most early-stage security work happens under deadline pressure — a customer wants SOC 2, an audit is in three weeks, a penetration test came back hot. We do it without panic: real controls, real evidence, defended at the audit table.

01 / When you call us

The moments this engagement was built for.

Security calls usually arrive with a deadline attached. The trick is not to panic-buy controls you don't need.

  1. An enterprise customer is asking for SOC 2 or ISO 27001.

    An honest read of the gap, a six-to-twelve-week plan to close it, and an auditor relationship we've worked with before.

  2. You just got a security questionnaire and don't know which answers are real.

    We answer it honestly, flag the things you actually need to fix, and write back in language a procurement team will accept.

  3. Your last penetration test came back ugly.

    We triage by exploitability and impact, not by the report's severity column. Fix what matters now, plan the rest, evidence the lot.

  4. You're raising and the diligence list includes “security posture”.

    A short, defended posture document — not a 90-page policy library nobody's read, the document an investor's technical reference will accept.

  5. You don't know who has access to what.

    Identity audit, RBAC tightening, secrets rotation, dependency scanning — the boring controls that prevent the headline incident.

02 / What we deliver

Controls that hold up. Evidence that's real.

We don't buy you a compliance dashboard with green ticks. We do the work the ticks are supposed to represent.

  • A control set sized to your risk. Not a 200-control framework copied from a template — the controls that match your customers, data, and stage.
  • Identity, secrets, and access done properly. SSO where it matters, MFA mandatory, secrets out of code and into a real vault, access reviews on a calendar.
  • Dependency and vulnerability hygiene. Automated scanning, sane upgrade cadence, a triage rubric so you're not chasing every CVE.
  • Logging and audit trails that survive an auditor's read. Who did what, when, immutable, retained for the period your contracts demand.
  • Incident response that's been rehearsed. A real playbook, named on-call, rehearsed once before launch — not a doc that gets opened during the incident.
  • Customer-facing security posture. A trust page, a security-questionnaire library, a contact email that doesn't go to a black hole.
03 / How we work

Advisory to scope. Build to land. Run to keep it.

Security work usually starts with a one-week Advisory scope: gap assessment, control set, plan, and a frank read on whether your buyer's deadline is realistic. We'll tell you if it isn't.

Build engagements run six to sixteen weeks depending on framework and starting point. We do the engineering work — wiring up SSO, vault, scanning, logging — and we write the evidence as we go, so audit prep isn't a panic in month four.

After audit, the controls need to keep working. Most clients move into a Run engagement for ongoing access reviews, scanning, and the next audit cycle. Same lead, no rebrief.

04 / How we'll price this

Cost-based. Cash, equity, or a mix.

We price engagements at cost plus a small margin — designed to be affordable at zero revenue, with cash, equity, or hybrid structures available. Final shape gets agreed in the discovery call.

Priced at cost. Aligned through equity.Low cash. Long alignment. Real skin in the game.

Tell us the deadline. We'll tell you what's realistic.

A 30-minute call. Show us the questionnaire, the auditor email, or the customer's ask. We'll tell you straight whether your timeline holds.
