Cybersecurity

Resilience by design — from boardroom reporting to packet inspection.

Overview

Security as a program, not a project.

Industry data is unambiguous. IBM's 2024 Cost of a Data Breach report puts the average breach at $4.88M and 277 days from initial access to containment. Verizon's DBIR keeps stolen credentials and unpatched edge devices in the top two causes year after year. The defenders that hold up under that pressure share one trait: they run security as an ongoing program tied to measurable risk, not a yearly tooling refresh.

We build security programs around the NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0 (Govern, Identify, Protect, Detect, Respond, Recover), threat-inform them with MITRE ATT&CK, and layer in Zero Trust principles (NIST SP 800-207) so identity becomes the new perimeter. Every control we recommend maps to a regulation or a real adversary technique — not a feature gap on a tooling slide.

Whether you're chasing SOC 2 Type II, HITRUST, PCI-DSS v4, FedRAMP, or just a defensible answer the next time the board asks "how exposed are we?", we'll give you the gap analysis, the roadmap, and the team to close it.

Engagement at a glance

  • NIST CSF 2.0 gap assessment in 3 weeks
  • SOC 2, HITRUST, PCI-DSS, FedRAMP readiness
  • 24×7 SOC capability — co-managed or built
  • IR retainer with named responders

What we deliver

A complete security capability, in pieces or as a program

Strategy & GRC

NIST CSF 2.0 / ISO 27001 / SOC 2 gap assessments, risk registers, policies, and the board-level reporting that keeps the program funded.

Application Security

SAST, DAST, SCA, secret scanning, and threat modeling integrated into CI. Penetration testing against OWASP Top 10 + ASVS. Shift-left, finally for real.

Cloud Security

CSPM, CWPP, KSPM, container and serverless hardening. CIS benchmarks enforced via IaC. Continuous compliance, not point-in-time.

Identity & Zero Trust

SSO, MFA, conditional access, privileged-access management, and the architecture (NIST SP 800-207) to replace network trust with identity-based authorization.

SOC & Threat Detection

SIEM/SOAR build-outs, EDR/XDR deployment, detection engineering against MITRE ATT&CK, and 24×7 monitoring — staffed or co-managed.

Incident Response

IR playbooks, tabletop exercises, retainer with hourly response SLAs, and forensics when the worst happens. Lessons folded back into detections.

FAQ

Common questions

In this order: asset inventory, identity (SSO + MFA + admin separation), endpoint detection, vulnerability management, and logging that's actually centralized and searchable. Those five close the door on the majority of opportunistic attacks before you spend on advanced tooling.

Under ~1,000 employees, almost always co-managed — you own the detection content and incident command; a partner does the 3am triage. Building 24×7 in-house requires 8–12 analysts to be sustainable, and the labor market doesn't reward heroics. We help design either model.

Every request is authenticated, authorized, and inspected at the resource — regardless of network location. In practice: strong identity (SSO/MFA), device posture as a signal, micro-segmentation, and removing implicit trust from the corporate network. NIST SP 800-207 is the canonical reference.

Detections are mapped to MITRE ATT&CK techniques and reviewed monthly against published CISA advisories, vendor research, and incident lessons-learned. Threat-intel feeds drive purple-team exercises against your environment — not just dashboard updates.
