Security Engineering
Security built into your cloud, infrastructure, and development pipeline: reviewed, hardened, and maintained.
Overview
Hardened against the paths that matter
Most environments are not compromised through a novel technique. They are compromised through a misconfigured role, a secret in a repository, or a trust relationship nobody remembered was there.
We review your cloud environments, infrastructure, and development pipeline from the position of an attacker who has already gained a foothold, looking for the paths that lead somewhere.
Cloud and Infrastructure
Identity, access, and exposure
The most common finding in cloud environments is not a vulnerability in a vendor's software. It is a permission that was never intended to exist.
Cloud Security Assessment
AWS, Azure, GCP
Active Directory and Entra ID Security
Identity plane review
Container and Kubernetes Security
Cluster hardening and runtime review
Segmentation and Lateral Movement Review
East-west exposure
Configuration and Hardening Baselines
CIS, vendor, and custom baselines
Secure Development
Security that ships with the code
Controls that are reviewed into the process hold. Controls added at the end of a release cycle do not.
Application Security Review
Web, mobile, desktop
Secure Code and Architecture Review
Source-level analysis
Threat Modeling
Before and during development
AI and LLM Application Testing
Prompt injection, data exposure, model abuse
DevSecOps
Pipelines, secrets, dependencies
Process
How an engagement runs
The shape varies by engagement type, but the sequence is the same.
- 1
Scoping
We agree the environment, the access level, and what we are trying to answer. Cloud reviews, identity reviews, and application reviews each have a distinct shape, and the scope determines which is right.
- 2
Access and Credentials
Read-only access to the environments, repositories, or build systems in scope. For cloud assessments this is usually a read-only IAM role. We document what we have been given and work only within it.
- 3
Review
The work itself. For cloud and infrastructure this is configuration analysis and privilege path enumeration. For development it is code review, architecture analysis, and testing against the running application.
- 4
Reporting
Findings presented with the attack path that leads to each one, the impact in your environment, and remediation guidance for the team that owns the system.
- 5
Debrief and Remediation Support
A walkthrough with the engineers who own the systems and an open line during remediation for questions on specific findings.
Deliverable
What you receive
Every engagement includes the following.
- Findings with the attack path that leads to each one
- Impact assessment specific to your environment
- Remediation guidance for the team that owns each system
- Debrief session with engineers and administrators
- Remediation support during the fix period
Questions
Common questions
Do you need production access?
For cloud assessments, read-only access to the live environment gives the most accurate results. For code review, access to the repository is sufficient. We agree the minimum required before anything begins.
We already pass our compliance audits. Is there still value?
Compliance audits are written around a minimum floor. A review from an attacker's perspective asks a different question: given everything that passes your audit, what can an attacker still do? The two answers are rarely identical.
Can you review infrastructure managed by a third party?
With the right access and authorization from the third party, yes. We are often brought in to review environments managed by MSPs or cloud providers on behalf of the organization that owns the data.
What is the output for a DevSecOps engagement?
A review of the pipeline and dependency posture with findings ranked by the risk each one carries. For organizations earlier in the journey, this includes a recommended set of controls and the order to implement them.
