Security & Compliance

Audits passed. Incidents handled.

Not a binder of recommendations — a security program run to completion. We've led a Level 1 PCI DSS ROC facing the QSA, delivered SOC 2 Type II, broken into systems on request, and cleaned up after people who didn't ask.

Security & compliance review

What's the deadline — audit, contract, or attacker?

Tell us what you're facing: a framework you need to reach, a customer questionnaire you can't answer, or something that already happened. We'll reply with a realistic path and what it takes.

  • We've sat across from the QSA. We know what they'll ask.
  • Pentests come with fix support, not just findings.
  • Incident work is discreet, documented, and defensible.

Best fit: organizations facing PCI DSS, SOC 2, or HIPAA obligations, buyers demanding security answers, or leadership that wants a security program without a full-time hire.

Read by an engineer, not a sales queue.

The practice

Four ways we take the weight.

Compliance programsCarried to the signature

PCI DSS and SOC 2 programs run end to end: scoping, remediation, evidence, and the auditor relationship. We led a Level 1 PCI DSS Report on Compliance — interfacing directly with the QSA — and have delivered SOC 2 Type II. HIPAA-aligned practice and workforce training included where care data is involved.

Penetration testingWe break it before someone else does

Scoped, authorized testing of applications, networks, and infrastructure — with findings ranked by real-world exploitability and fix support afterward. The report is the beginning, not the deliverable.

vCISOSecurity leadership, fractional

Policy, risk decisions, vendor questionnaires, board reporting, and a standing program — senior security ownership at a fraction of a full-time executive, from people who also run infrastructure for a living.

Incident responseWhen it's already happening

We've managed incident response and been brought in to lead and perform investigations — containment, forensics, root cause, and the written record you'll need for insurers, counsel, and customers.

Why it works

Security people who run systems.
Not slideware.

We operate what we secure

Because we host and manage production infrastructure daily, our controls survive contact with real operations. Nothing gets recommended that we wouldn't run ourselves.

Evidence, not adjectives

Auditors, insurers, and enterprise buyers want artifacts. Our programs produce them continuously — so the next questionnaire is an afternoon, not a quarter.

Sized for your reality

Controls scaled to an actual business, prioritized by risk, at fees typically 20–30% below comparable providers. Compliance that the team can live with is compliance that lasts.

Fair questions

Asked before. Answered plainly.

How long does PCI DSS or SOC 2 actually take?
It depends on the gap, not the framework. After a scoping pass we'll give you a real timeline in phases — typically months, not weeks, and we'll tell you which shortcuts are safe and which ones auditors see through.
We think we've been breached. What do we do right now?
Don't wipe anything, limit who touches affected systems, and call us at 1-888-907-3637. Preserving evidence in the first hours determines what the investigation can prove later.
Can you just do the pentest our customer requires?
Yes. Scoped, authorized, and documented in the format enterprise security teams expect — and unlike drive-by testing shops, we'll help you fix what we find.
Do we need a vCISO or an MSP?
Often both halves of one problem. Because we do managed operations and security, you can get the program leadership and the hands that implement it from one accountable team — see Managed Operations.

Next step

Someone will test your security this year. Choose who.
