The Challenge

Sound Familiar?

These are the gaps costing regulated businesses contracts, deals, and data security.

Compliance is blocking your next contract

SOC 2, HIPAA, or NIST 800-53 gaps cost deals, delay federal opportunities, and leave your team fighting fires instead of shipping product.

Your cloud environment is a liability

Misconfigured IAM, no monitoring, and unmanaged secrets put customer data and regulatory status at risk — every day you wait raises the stakes.

You need senior security — not a full-time hire

Contract and federal work demands vCISO-level thinking and hands-on engineering expertise on your schedule and inside your budget.

Capabilities

What We Deliver

Hands-on security engineering across the full regulated-industry stack — from cloud posture to ATO packages.

DevSecOps Engineering

Shift-left security integrated into your CI/CD pipeline — SAST/DAST, dependency scanning, container hardening, IaC policy enforcement, and vulnerability management.

Engagement Process

How It Works

A clear, no-surprises process from first conversation to delivered outcome.

01

Discovery Call

30-minute scoping call. We assess your current security posture, compliance gaps, and contract or regulatory requirements.

02

Scope & Proposal

Clear statement of work with deliverables, timeline, and rates. No retainer lock-ins. You approve before any work begins.

03

Delivery

Hands-on implementation — policies, controls, hardening, automation, and documentation — executed directly in your environment.

04

Handoff

Thorough handoff documentation so your team owns the outcome. Available for follow-on work, ongoing retainer, or spot engagements.
