Cleared, certified, and on the regulated side of the table.

We’ve sat across from auditors and regulators — OCR, FINRA, SEC, DoD program managers. What that means: our deliverables look like what the auditor expects to see, not what looks impressive in a pitch deck.

Top Secret cleared

Active DoD clearance. We work in government & cleared-contractor environments where the bar is highest, and we bring those controls back to commercial clients.

MCSE & security-certified

Senior consultant on every engagement, never a junior. Microsoft, Cisco, Fortinet, CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, and major-vendor expertise on the team.

Regulated-industry experience

HIPAA in healthcare and dental. FINRA & SEC in financial services. ABA confidentiality in law. CMMC in defense. We’ve done the work the regulations actually require.

Documentation auditors accept

Policy, procedure, evidence, attestation — in the format your regulator expects. So when the exam comes, you hand over a binder instead of building one in a panic.

Worried about your security posture? Or want a second opinion?

20-minute scoping call. We’ll tell you what fits your situation, what doesn’t, and roughly what it costs.
