FAQ
Questions, answered
What does a security program engagement include?
We build the risk management, policies, and controls a regulated company needs, then make sure they survive contact with a real adversary, with the audit as a by-product.
Isn't compliance the same as security?
No. Compliance asks whether a control exists. Security asks whether it holds. We build for the second, and the certificate follows.
Can you help us get audit-ready for a specific framework?
Yes. We map your posture against NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, SOC 2, or the EU AI Act and close the gaps before the assessor arrives.
Do you stay involved after the program is built?
We offer retainers so the program keeps pace with new threats, new systems, and new obligations rather than going stale.
Ready to scope security program & risk?
A senior engineer will help you define scope on a 30-minute call. No SDR, no pressure.
