What We Deliver
Security consulting for teams that ship software.
We work with your engineers, not around them.
Every service is an expression of the World Tree Framework — roots, trunk, and branches working together.
Roots
Foundation Security
Strategy, architecture, threat modeling — the ground everything stands on
Trunk
Continuous Operations
Testing, monitoring, patching, remediating — the gears that never stop
Branches
Scaling & Culture
Champions, training, culture — security that grows with your people
Roots: Foundation Security
The strategic foundation everything else stands on
Before you can build securely, you need to understand what you're protecting and why. Architecture, threat models, strategy, and program design — the decisions that shape everything else.
Architecture Reviews
Security design that enables velocity
Comprehensive review of your system architecture — cloud, on-prem, hybrid. We look at trust boundaries, data flows, authentication/authorization design, network segmentation, and infrastructure security. AWS, GCP, Azure — we find misconfigs and design weaknesses before attackers do.
What You Get
- →Architecture security assessment
- →Cloud posture review and hardening recommendations
- →Trust boundary and data flow analysis
- →Infrastructure security recommendations
Threat Modeling
Understand your risks before you build
Foundational threat modeling that shapes how you think about security. We work with your team to identify assets, threats, and attack paths — creating a shared understanding of what you're protecting and from whom.
What You Get
- →Threat model documentation your team actually uses
- →Asset inventory and crown jewels identification
- →Attack path analysis and prioritized risks
- →Security requirements for your roadmap
Security Strategy
Roadmaps that actually ship
Security strategy aligned to your business goals. We help you prioritize what matters, build a plan that's achievable, and define metrics that correlate with actual risk reduction — not vanity dashboards.
What You Get
- →Security maturity assessment
- →Prioritized security roadmap
- →Metrics and KPIs that matter
- →Board-ready security reporting
Security Program Design
Install security as a function, not a role
Design and build a security program that works for your organization. We help you define governance, responsibilities, processes, and metrics — without requiring a unicorn CISO or building a massive team.
What You Get
- →Security program charter and governance
- →Role definitions and responsibilities
- →Process design for key security workflows
- →Metrics dashboard and reporting cadence
Deployment Security
Secure your pipeline, secure your product
Review and harden your CI/CD pipeline, infrastructure-as-code, and deployment process. We look at secrets management, artifact integrity, and supply chain security — the foundation of how you ship.
What You Get
- →CI/CD security assessment
- →IaC security review (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.)
- →Secrets management recommendations
- →Supply chain security improvements
Incident Response
When it happens, recover fast
Incident response support when you need it, plus proactive IR planning. We help you build response capabilities that work at 2 AM — and learn from incidents to prevent recurrence.
What You Get
- →Incident response support (active incidents)
- →IR plan development and tabletop exercises
- →Post-incident review and root cause analysis
- →Detection and alerting improvements
Trunk: Continuous Operations
The iterative gears that never stop turning
Security isn't a one-time event. Testing, monitoring, patching, remediating — these are the continuous operations that keep your security posture strong. We build the machinery that runs forever.
Secure Code Reviews
Find real risks, not style nits
Deep-dive code review focused on security vulnerabilities, not coding standards. We review authentication flows, authorization logic, data handling, cryptography, and injection points — the code that matters.
What You Get
- →Vulnerability findings with severity and exploitability
- →Remediation guidance with code examples
- →Architecture recommendations if needed
- →Knowledge transfer to your team
Penetration Testing
Test what matters to your business
Targeted penetration testing of your applications, APIs, and infrastructure. We focus on the attack paths that matter to your specific threat model — not just running scanners and calling it a day.
What You Get
- →Executive summary for leadership
- →Technical findings with reproduction steps
- →Prioritized remediation roadmap
- →Retest to verify fixes
Security Testing
Continuous validation in your pipeline
Application security testing integrated into your CI/CD. We help you set up SAST, DAST, SCA, and secrets scanning — tuned to reduce noise and catch real issues without blocking every build.
What You Get
- →Security testing pipeline design
- →Tool selection and configuration
- →Baseline tuning to reduce false positives
- →Developer workflow integration
API Security Reviews
Your APIs are your attack surface
Comprehensive review of your API security: authentication, authorization, rate limiting, input validation, and business logic. We test REST, GraphQL, gRPC, and WebSocket APIs.
What You Get
- →API security assessment report
- →Authentication/authorization analysis
- →Business logic vulnerability findings
- →API security best practices for your stack
Security Automation
Automate the right things, the right way
Design and implement security automation that scales: pipeline gates, policy-as-code, automated remediation, and security guardrails. We help you automate without creating noise that gets ignored.
What You Get
- →Automation strategy and design
- →Policy-as-code implementation
- →Security guardrails in CI/CD
- →Runbooks for common security tasks
Branches: Scaling & Culture
Security that grows with your people
Security doesn't scale through tools alone — it scales through people. Building champions, developing culture, training your team, and achieving compliance without the theater. This is how security becomes part of who you are.
Security Champion Program
Security advocates in every team
Build a network of security champions across your engineering organization. We help you identify, train, and support champions who become force multipliers — extending security's reach without growing headcount.
What You Get
- →Champion program design and charter
- →Champion identification and recruitment
- →Training curriculum for champions
- →Ongoing support and community building
Hands-On Training
Engineers who think like attackers
Practical, hands-on security training for your engineering team. Not death-by-slides — real exercises, real vulnerabilities, real code. Your developers learn by doing, not by watching.
What You Get
- →Custom training tailored to your stack
- →Hands-on labs with real vulnerabilities
- →Capture-the-flag exercises
- →Secure coding guidelines for your team
Security Branding Strategy
Make security part of your identity
Develop internal security branding that resonates with your team. We help you create messaging, campaigns, and communications that make security feel like a shared mission — not a compliance burden.
What You Get
- →Internal security brand development
- →Campaign and communication strategy
- →Security awareness materials that don't suck
- →Engagement metrics and feedback loops
Culture Development
Security as a shared value
Transform security from a department to a culture. We help you embed security thinking into how your organization operates — from hiring to onboarding to daily decisions. Culture eats policy for breakfast.
What You Get
- →Security culture assessment
- →Culture transformation roadmap
- →Leadership alignment and enablement
- →Measurement and continuous improvement
Compliance
Pass audits with real security, not theater
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI — we help you achieve compliance through actual security work, not checkbox exercises. Evidence comes from operations, not fabricated documentation.
What You Get
- →Gap assessment against target framework
- →Compliance roadmap integrated with security work
- →Policy development (policies people actually read)
- →Audit preparation and support
Every Service, Assessed Through Time
Like the Norns of Norse mythology, we assess security across past, present, and future. Every engagement includes this lens — because point-in-time assessments decay.
