The right security tools, bought right and run right.

We help you choose, buy, deploy and run security technology from the industry's leading vendors. We're vendor-neutral: we recommend what fits your risks and your team, and we'll tell you when a tool you already own can do the job.

AppSec

Application & API security

Code scanning (SAST, DAST, SCA), software supply chain, API discovery and protection, and web application firewalls.

Exposure

Vulnerability & exposure management

Scanning, attack-surface management and risk-based prioritization, so the riskiest gaps get patched first.

SOC

From shortlist to steady state

One partner for the whole life of a tool, so nothing gets lost between the salesperson, the installer and the renewal.

  1. Evaluate

    Requirements, a vendor-neutral shortlist and a proof of concept on your own environment, scored against criteria you agree to up front.

  2. Buy

    Competitive pricing through authorized distribution, co-termed renewals, one consolidated quote and financing options.

  3. Deploy

    Installed, integrated and tuned to your environment, documented, and handed over with training for your team.

  4. Run & optimize

    Health checks, renewal planning and consolidation reviews, or hand it to us as a managed service.

Services around the technology

Tools only work when they fit a plan and someone runs them. We cover the work before, during and after the purchase.

Advisory

Strategy & architecture

Security program roadmaps, reference architectures and zero-trust planning before you spend money on tools.

Testing

Assessments & penetration testing

External, internal, web app, cloud and social-engineering tests, plus red team and tabletop exercises.

Delivery

Implementation & integration

Deployment, migration and tuning by engineers who have done it before, with documentation and handover.

Managed security, as a service

Don't have the people to run it? Most of the technology above is available as a monthly managed service, delivered with vetted partners and overseen by us. See managed services.

One contract, one point of contact, and monthly reporting in plain language.

  • Managed detection & response. 24/7 monitoring and response on your endpoints, identity and cloud.
  • Managed SIEM. Your logs collected, tuned and watched, with monthly reporting.
  • Vulnerability management as a service. Continuous scanning, prioritized fixes and trend reporting.
  • Phishing & awareness as a service. Training and simulations run for you, every month.
  • Identity as a service. Joiner, mover and leaver processes and access reviews, handled.
  • Firewall & SASE as a service. Rules, updates and policy reviews on your network security stack.
  • CISO as a service. Fractional security leadership to own the program end to end.

Why buy through us

Most organizations own more security tools than they use well. We'd rather help you run five tools properly than sell you a sixth.

  • Vendor-neutral recommendations, with the reasoning in writing
  • Tool consolidation reviews that find overlap and shelfware
  • Products sourced through authorized distribution, with full manufacturer support
  • Co-termed renewals on one calendar, so nothing auto-renews by surprise
  • We tell you up front that we earn a margin on products we resell
