About

Security tooling that actually works for your environment.

Boutique cybersecurity consultancy founded in 2016. We configure, tune, and deploy security infrastructure for small and mid-sized organizations — the ones too mature to ignore security, too lean to build a program in-house. No shelfware. No overselling.

Who We Serve

Built for organizations that have outpaced their security posture.

We typically work with growing businesses that have a small IT team, no dedicated security staff, and increasing exposure from expansion or compliance requirements.

Overburdened IT Teams Your IT or network team is handling security issues they weren't hired for, and it's pulling them away from core work.
International Expansion You're opening offices or onboarding staff in new regions and aren't sure how to extend your security posture across borders.
Underperforming Tools Security tools aren't configured properly, generating too much noise, or sitting unused on the shelf entirely.
Right-Sized Expertise You need real security help but can't justify a full-time hire or a six-figure engagement from a national firm.

If any of this sounds familiar, you're exactly who we built this practice for.

Services

From hands-on-keyboard to boardroom strategy.

Security Tool Configuration

SIEM tuning, log source onboarding, endpoint rollouts. We make the tools you already own work the way they should.

MDR Deployment

Full managed detection and response onboarding — scoping, agent rollout, integration, and handoff to your operations team.

Detection Engineering

Custom detection logic tuned to your environment. Less noise, fewer false positives, more signal.

Post-Incident Recovery

Ransomware recovery, environment hardening, and root cause analysis. Get back on your feet and stay there.

Forward Deployed Analyst

Embedded practitioners working alongside your team. Senior capability without the full-time overhead.

Virtual CISO

Fractional security leadership. Program development, board reporting, and strategic planning on your terms.

Why Boutique

Senior practitioners. No account manager between you and the work.

Large firms sell a brand name and a bench of junior consultants. We give you named professionals who know your environment and do the work themselves.
