Services

Pick a focused engagement, or combine into a continuous program.

Advisory 01

Security posture & roadmap

Make risk visible, prioritise fixes, and set a plan your teams can actually deliver.

  • Current-state review (cloud, identity, endpoints)
  • Threat model + risk register
  • 90-day roadmap with owners and metrics
Engineering 02

Detection & response uplift

Reduce noise and close blind spots with curated telemetry and high-signal detections.

  • Logging strategy + parsing + pipelines
  • Detection engineering + tuning
  • Playbooks and automation
Managed 03

Continuous security operations

A small, disciplined security function: monitoring, improvements, and readiness.

  • Monthly threat & control review
  • Incident readiness drills
  • Reporting for leadership

Approach

Simple, repeatable, measurable. We don’t sell complexity.

Principles

1
Start with outcomes Risk reduced, incidents shorter, changes easier to operate.
2
Design for operations Runbooks, ownership, and automation from day one.
3
Keep signal high Noise budgets, tuning, and dashboards that drive action.

Typical engagement

A lightweight process that works for both small teams and large enterprises.

A
Discovery sprint Scope, architecture map, and high-confidence priorities.
B
Build + tune Controls, detections, playbooks, and guardrails.
C
Operate + improve Handover, cadence, KPIs, and continuous hardening.

Outcomes

Examples of what “minimal but serious” looks like in practice.

“We went from scattered tooling and alert fatigue to a clean pipeline, fewer false positives, and a response process we can rehearse. The work felt calm—but the impact was not.”

— Security & IT leadership (anonymised)
Lower alert volume Less noise, better triage and ownership
Faster incident response Defined playbooks + automation + clear escalation
Stronger baseline security Hardening, identity controls, and operational guardrails
