Security & Compliance
Build trust by design with security reviews, hardening, and compliance support.
Security and compliance work that treats protection as an engineering property, not a checklist ticked once a year. We probe your applications, infrastructure, and delivery pipeline the way a motivated attacker would — chaining weaknesses instead of cataloguing them in isolation — remediate what we find, and stand up the controls that stop the same class of issue from recurring. You come away with a system you can defend and an evidence trail that satisfies auditors and prospective customers.
Why it matters
A single breach or failed audit can cost you an anchor customer, a funding round, or months of unplanned remediation. Enterprise buyers now run a security review before they sign, so the state of your controls decides which deals you can close — and how quickly they move through procurement.
What we do
Inside Security & Compliance
The specific work we take on — each engagement scoped to what your product actually needs.
Threat modeling and architecture review
We map trust boundaries, data flows, and privilege paths across your system to find where the design itself invites abuse, before a line of code ships. Each risk is ranked by exploitability and blast radius so engineering fixes the structural problems first and defers the cosmetic ones.
Application and API security testing
We pair manual code review with static and dynamic analysis to catch injection, broken access control, and authentication flaws that automated scanners walk past. Every finding ships with a working proof-of-concept and a specific code-level fix, not a generic advisory to go interpret.
Cloud and infrastructure hardening
We tighten IAM policies, network segmentation, and service configuration against established baselines such as the CIS Benchmarks, then cut standing privilege down to what each workload genuinely uses. Automated drift detection keeps the environment hardened long after the engagement closes.
Identity, secrets, and access management
We pull credentials out of code and config into a managed secret store with automatic rotation, and enforce least privilege through scoped roles, SSO, and MFA. Periodic access reviews and short-lived tokens close the gap between who holds access and who still needs it.
Secure SDLC and supply chain security
We wire dependency scanning, secret detection, and signed builds into your CI/CD pipeline so vulnerable packages and leaked keys are caught before merge, not after release. A generated software bill of materials gives you a live inventory of what ships and tells you exactly where the next CVE lands.
Compliance readiness and audit support
We run a gap analysis against SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or GDPR, then map every requirement to a concrete technical or process control you actually operate — not a policy nobody follows. We assemble the evidence and stay in the room through the audit, so the assessment validates work already in place rather than a last-minute rebuild.

Use cases
Where this shows up
The shapes security & compliance work most often takes when teams bring us in.
Pre-sale security review
Pass the enterprise buyer's security questionnaire and unblock the deal.
SOC 2 / ISO readiness
Get audit-ready with controls mapped and evidence assembled ahead of time.
Penetration test
Find and fix exploitable vulnerabilities before an attacker does.
Secure SDLC
Wire scanning, secret detection, and signed builds into the delivery pipeline.
What you get
- A threat model and prioritized risk register, with each risk tied to a specific component and data flow
- A findings report that grades every issue by severity, with reproduction steps and concrete remediation guidance
- Hardening baselines and runbooks for your cloud accounts, services, and build pipeline
- A control matrix mapping your controls to the target framework, plus an audit-ready evidence and policy pack
- A retest report confirming which findings are closed and verifying the fixes hold under re-exercise
Our toolkit
Tools & technologies
The stack we reach for on security & compliance engagements — chosen for how it behaves in production, not how it demos.
Is this you?
When teams bring us in for security & compliance
- Enterprise buyers are running security reviews before they'll sign
- You're pursuing SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or GDPR and need to be audit-ready
- You've never had a security review and don't know your real exposure
- You need fixes and controls, not a 200-page report you can't act on
FAQ
Security & Compliance, answered
The questions teams ask us most before an engagement.
Do you just report issues, or fix them too?
Both. Every finding ships with a working proof-of-concept and a specific code-level fix, and we stand up the controls that stop the same class of issue from recurring — then retest to confirm they hold.
Can you help us pass SOC 2 or ISO 27001?
Yes. We run a gap analysis, map each requirement to a real technical or process control, assemble the evidence, and stay in the room through the audit so it validates work already in place.
How is this different from an automated scan?
Scanners miss business-logic, access-control, and chained vulnerabilities. We pair manual review with static and dynamic analysis and think like a motivated attacker, not a checklist.
Will a security engagement slow down our releases?
The opposite over time — we wire scanning, secret detection, and signed builds into your pipeline so issues are caught before merge, and a clean posture speeds enterprise deals through procurement.
