How to get started

Questions founders ask before we start

  • Book a free 30-minute assessment. We’ll evaluate your current state, business goals, and recommend the minimum viable security program. Most companies start with 1-2 services and expand.

  • Absolutely. Most clients start with compliance or cloud security, then add managed services and testing. We design everything to integrate seamlessly.

  • Setup includes gap remediation, policy development, technical implementation, and team training. It’s front-loaded work that creates lasting value. Ongoing fees maintain and improve what we built.

  • No long-term contracts required. 30-day notice for ongoing services. You keep all policies, documentation, and configurations we created.

  • Yes, we handle GDPR, ISO 27001, and other international frameworks. However, our primary expertise is US-based compliance and regulations.

  • We use a “security-first, availability-always” approach. All changes are tested in staging, implemented during maintenance windows, and rolled back if any issues occur.
