Security Engineering
Secure by design, automated by default. We engineer security that works with your workflow, not against it.
Our Security Engineering services began with us supporting recurring clients between pentesting projects by providing advisory and second opinions on security designs. Over the years, we have supported clients’ stakeholders and engineering teams with architectural work, technical advisory, and vendor security. We have also assisted in building or improving various security functions within companies. We now offer this service separately in cases where our expertise can help you take your security to the next level. We work as trusted partners to implement, design, or in other ways help you excel in the area of technical security.
Who These Services Are For
Your business needs access to full-time or part-time security expertise for you, your organization, or your engineering team but is not in a position where it’s viable to get a full-time hire. You might look for a temporary boost in specialized security skills during an important step in your company’s journey. This may include undergoing digital transformation, cloud migration, merger or acquisition, switching to a new service provider, or system modernization. You face situations where your team requires some extra eyes on a problem or hands-on keyboard — whether that’s helping to build secure development practices, technical advisory when getting new vendors, or in need of a second opinion on a system design before committing to it. You need an experienced security engineer who works as an extension of your team.
Security Engineering
Our Security Engineering service provides hands-on implementation of security controls, automation, and infrastructure within your environment. We work directly with your engineering teams to build, deploy, and integrate security solutions that fit your specific technology stack and operational needs. This is practical, technical work where we roll up our sleeves and implement the security capabilities your organization requires.
