Application security
Threat modeling, SAST/DAST integration, secure code review, and the engineering coaching that makes the next PR safer.
Services / Cybersecurity
Security that understands engineering — and engineering that finally takes security seriously.
We build security programs that ship with your code, not on top of it. Audit-ready foundations, threat modeling that teams actually use, and the operational muscle to find a real bug before someone else does.

SOC 2 Type II readiness on first attempt
What it is
The work, plainly described.
Cybersecurity is the practice that turns security from a checkbox exercise into an engineering discipline. We do the gap assessments, the threat models, the penetration tests, and the policy work — but we also write the Terraform, the IAM policies, and the CI gates that make those policies real. Most security firms hand you a PDF. We hand you a working system.
Where it fits
- First auditYou're going for SOC 2 Type I or HIPAA for the first time and you don't want to fail.
- Series B+ scale-upYou've passed an audit. Now you need a real security program — not just controls, but a culture that survives growth.
- M&A diligenceYou're acquiring a company and want a real security read on what you're buying — not just the vendor questionnaire.
- Incident response & recoverySomething happened. You need a senior team that can scope, contain, and rebuild — without making the next quarter worse.
Capabilities
What we'll actually do.
Each of these is a deliverable category, not a buzzword bullet. We scope, build, and stay accountable for each one.
Cloud & infrastructure security
AWS/GCP/Azure hardening, IAM least-privilege, network segmentation, secrets management, and supply-chain security.
Compliance programs
SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI DSS, ISO 27001 readiness — controls, evidence, and the audit-prep choreography.
Penetration testing
External, internal, and application-level. Findings come with reproduction steps and a fix that engineers can actually ship.
Policies & governance
Information security policies, vendor risk programs, business continuity, and the access reviews you keep meaning to do.
Incident response
Tabletop exercises, runbooks, and 24×7 retainer for when the alert isn't a false positive.
Process
How an engagement actually runs.
No mystery, no shifting goalposts. Five phases with measurable outcomes per phase.
Gap assessment
We map your current posture against the standard you're aiming at. The output is a prioritized roadmap with cost and effort.
Foundation work
Identity, logging, encryption, vulnerability management, and access reviews — the controls every audit cares about.
Engineering integration
Security as code: SAST/DAST in CI, secrets scanning, IaC policy gates, dependency monitoring.
Validation
Internal pen test, evidence collection, mock audit. We find the gaps before the auditor does.
Audit support
We sit with you through the audit. Auditor questions get fast, accurate answers — because we did the work.
Why us
Three things you should know.
Engineers, not checkbox auditors
Our team writes code. The fix recommendations we give are ones we'd ship ourselves.
We work with your auditor, not around them
We've walked clients through audits with all of the major auditors. We know what they actually look at.
Continuous, not point-in-time
Audits are events. Security is a posture. Our engagements aim at posture, with the audit as a milestone.
Frequently asked
The questions everyone asks.
Do you do the audit yourselves?
No — we're the readiness and remediation partner, not the auditor. We work alongside the audit firm of your choice.
How long does SOC 2 Type II take?
Most clients reach observation start in 8-14 weeks. The Type II report is then issued 3-12 months later, depending on the audit window you choose.
Can you respond to a live incident?
Yes — we offer incident response retainers and have responded to active incidents within hours for clients on retainer.
Will you sign a BAA?
Yes, for HIPAA-relevant engagements. We're experienced operating under BAA and we'll structure the engagement appropriately.
How do you price?
Gap assessments are fixed-bid ($18-32k). Remediation engagements are scoped on findings. Retainers run monthly. We share line-item estimates after the assessment.
