How We Work

A clear methodology built on proven frameworks, delivering predictable outcomes with fixed-scope engagements.

Core Principles

Assessment-First

Every engagement starts with understanding your current state. We don't prescribe solutions before diagnosing problems.

Framework-Aligned

Our recommendations map to established frameworks (NIST, CIS, Zero Trust), not proprietary methodologies.

Fixed Scope & Pricing

Clear boundaries, predictable costs. No hourly billing surprises or scope creep.

No Retainers or SOCs

We fix problems and teach you to maintain security. Not sell you ongoing monitoring seats.

Human-Led Decisions

AI assists our execution, but every decision and recommendation comes from experienced human judgment.

Outcome-Driven

We measure success by risk reduction, not hours worked or tools deployed.

Framework Alignment

Our assessments and recommendations align with industry-recognized security frameworks, not proprietary methodologies.

NIST CSF 2.0

Comprehensive cybersecurity framework for identifying, protecting, detecting, responding to, and recovering from threats.
