Secure Your Cloud. Ship With Confidence.
Security engineering for modern teams. From architecture to production — we ship code, not reports.
We help engineering teams embed security into their CI/CD pipelines, harden cloud infrastructure, and achieve compliance — without slowing down development.

API PlatformSound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from engineering leaders every week. If any of these hit close to home, you're in the right place.
Enterprise Deals Stuck in Security Review
You've got the product. You've got the demo. But the deal is sitting in procurement because you can't answer their security questionnaire.
Security Questionnaires Piling Up
Every new prospect sends a 200-question security assessment. Your team spends days on each one, copying answers from the last questionnaire and hoping they're still accurate.
No One Owns Security
Your engineers are busy shipping features. Nobody has time to research security best practices, and nobody wants to be the one responsible when something goes wrong.
You Don't Know What You Don't Know
Is your cloud configured securely? Are there vulnerabilities in your dependencies? You suspect there are gaps, but you don't know where to start looking.
Compliance Feels Like a Moving Target
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR. The requirements keep changing, the auditors keep asking for more, and you're not sure if you're actually compliant or just lucky.
One Incident Away From a Crisis
You know a breach would be devastating — lost customers, damaged reputation, maybe the end of the company. But you're too busy building to stop and fix it.
You're not alone. 46% of cyber breaches target companies with fewer than 1,000 employees — and most don't have dedicated security teams to prevent them.
Here's how we helpSecurity That Works With Your Workflow
We don't bolt security on at the end. We embed it into your existing development process — so you ship faster and safer.
Secure CI/CD Pipelines
Catch Vulnerabilities Before They Ship
We integrate security scanning directly into your GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, or Jenkins pipelines. Every commit gets checked for vulnerabilities, secrets, and misconfigurations — automatically.
- SAST (Static Application Security Testing)
- SCA (Software Composition Analysis)
- Container image scanning
- Secrets detection and prevention
- Security gates that don't break your flow

Cloud Security & Hardening
Lock Down Your Infrastructure
Whether you're on AWS, GCP, Hetzner, or DigitalOcean, we configure your cloud the right way. Secure VPCs, proper IAM, encryption everywhere, and Infrastructure as Code that keeps it all consistent.
- Cloud security architecture review
- IAM policies and least-privilege access
- Network segmentation and firewall rules
- Encryption for data at rest and in transit
- IaC security with Terraform/Pulumi

Kubernetes Security
Secure Your Clusters, Not Just Your Code
Kubernetes is powerful — and easy to misconfigure. We lock down your clusters with RBAC, network policies, pod security, and runtime protection that meets CIS benchmarks.
- RBAC configuration and audit
- Network policies and segmentation
- Pod security standards
- Secrets management (Vault, Sealed Secrets)
- Runtime threat detection

What You Get When You Work With Us
Real expertise that delivers real results. We focus on outcomes that matter — secure infrastructure, compliance certifications, and engineering teams that can maintain it all.
Hands-On Implementation
We don't just hand you a report and walk away. We implement the fixes, configure the tools, and make sure everything works in your environment.
Production-Ready Deliverables
Everything we build is ready for production. Infrastructure as Code, documented runbooks, and configurations your team can maintain and extend.
Knowledge Transfer
Your team won't be left in the dark. We train your engineers, document everything, and ensure you can operate independently after we leave.
Measurable Outcomes
Security improvements you can see and measure. Fewer vulnerabilities, faster remediation, compliance certifications, and enterprise deals unblocked.
Why Teams Choose Us
We're not a generic IT consultancy that dabbles in security. We're specialists who live and breathe SecDevOps.
Cloud Platform Specialists
Deep expertise in AWS, GCP, Hetzner, and DigitalOcean. Unlike generalists, we know the security nuances of each platform — including the ones enterprise consultants ignore.
Especially strong with Hetzner and DigitalOcean, where security expertise is hard to find.
Automation-First Philosophy
We don't believe in security that requires constant manual work. Everything we build is designed to run automatically — scanning, monitoring, compliance evidence, all of it.
Our clients spend hours per month on security maintenance, not days.
Developer-Friendly Security
Security that blocks developers is security that gets bypassed. We design controls that integrate into your workflow, not ones that create friction.
Our CI/CD security implementations typically add less than 3 minutes to pipeline runs.
“They helped us go from zero security practices to SOC 2 certified in under 90 days. The enterprise deals we closed in the following quarter more than paid for the entire engagement.”

“Finally, security consultants who understand that we're a startup, not a bank. Practical, fast, and affordable.”
