Build Secure Products, Not Just Security Programs
We live in a world of product security attestations, 500-row security questionnaires, an ever-expanding definition of secure-by-design, and impending liability risk for software security failures. Security teams whose charter is to get everyone else to do the right thing leave delivery teams overwhelmed and frustrated, without enough bandwidth to deliver for the business. Every stakeholder has their own priorities and their own view of what the right thing is. To avoid irrelevance, a product security program must continuously embed security know how and guardrails that accelerate the sofware delivery lifecycle.
We’re how organizations build secure products, not just security programs.
Maturing Product Security Initiatives
Program Scorecard, Maturity Acceleration Plan, Capability Development, Secure SDLC Modernization, Metrics and Executive Reporting
Organizations that invest in building cultural bridges—rather than issuing unfunded mandates—are the ones that succeed. Through strategy, planning, capability building, measurement, coaching, integration, and measurement, we directly participated in the creation and growth of over 300 product security programs. Given the number of organizations booting, rebooting, and recalibrating their product security programs today, along with the number of CISOs and other managers entering their first product security ownership role, we still do this strategic and advisory work daily.
We work as members of your team to help the organization achieve a product security program that realizes each stakeholder’s input, minimizes their pain, and respects their culture and experience. We focus on operational improvements that reduce complexity, increase transparency, and—most importantly today—demonstrably builds security into the products. We help build programs that you’re proud to tell your customers about.
Threat Modeling and Secure Design
We can do it for you quickly, we can mentor your team, and we can bootstrap a threat modeling capability through instructor-led training
Through creating threat modeling capabilities, secure-by-design blueprints, security architecture teams, as well as delivery pipelines with integrated security guardrails, we directly participated in the creation and growth of over 100 engineering-based security programs. Given the ever-growing number and complexity of development teams, applications, and technology stacks, we do this work often.
We conduct detailed and thorough threat models of your most critical and strategic assets and initiatives, help hire and train your team to cover the portfolio without external help. We help you select, implement, and scale threat modeling platforms to handle continuous threat modeling at the speed of delivery. Developers commonly ask for more bandwidth from threat modeling capabilities we've built, because they speed delivery of secure products. Ready when you are: pull the advisory lever when you need strategic leverage, and dial it back when execution is humming.
MLOps/ DevSecOps
Secure Platform Engineering for Software of all types as well as AI/ML
We build security into the way your teams ship software and AI—no sidecar checklists, no theater. Our approach starts with your delivery reality: Copilot Studio, Azure and ADO AI pipelines, or in-house LLM development and deployment—wherever work actually happens. We bring substantial intellectual property in the form of secure coding promptbooks that can be deployed immediately, giving developers organizationally aligned, secure-by-default code from the first generation. Using our threat modeling and secure design expertise, we overlay your enterprise guardrails—approved use of no/low-code platforms like Salesforce or ServiceNow, gateway technologies like Mulesoft or Akana, and identity and access control through tools such as SailPoint, ForgeRock, and Entra ID.
On-going Strategic Advisory
Ongoing Strategic Advisory On-demand expert support for vCISO/vCTO roles, Go-to-Market Strategy, and Advisory Board, plus VC/PE and M&A support
On‑demand expert guidance that advances your strategy, delivery, and scale.
Whether you need a temporary vCISO/vCTO, help maturing your security or engineering program, or strategic counsel for product, channel, or M&A pursuits, we deliver:
-
vCISO / vCTO – Embed senior leadership without long‑term headcount, helping you shape and execute your tech and security roadmap with immediate credibility and velocity
-
Product Development & Go‑to‑Market Strategy – Shape secure, differentiated offerings, get buyer readiness right, and accelerate commercial adoption
-
Technical Advisory Board Support – Provide external technical leadership and objectivity for your executive and investor-level briefings

Our approach cuts through organizational noise and friction—aligning executive priorities with hands-on engineering and security practice. We help you go faster, with confidence, and a structure that scales. Ready when you are: pull the advisory lever when you need strategic leverage, and dial it back when execution is humming.
We approach our work in the context of modern realities:
- Security budgets are down, and software delivery expectations are up, so we automate first and build manual processes as a last resort.
- Governments, regulators, business partners, legal and product purchasing, M&A teams, and everyone else seem to be competing on who can make the most comprehensive, and mostly unverifiable, product security program questionnaire, so we build explainability in also.
- First-time CISOs and other product security owners are seeing lags in their time-to-productivity because they’re inheriting programs that are bogged down in resource shortages and technical debt, so we work as coaches, mentors, strategists, architects, and even as recruiters in our large network of subject-matter experts.
- Some really good concepts—zero trust, secure by design, software supply chain security, etc.—remain elusive at scale, so we help design, bake-off, and prioritize, organizational improvements that will clearly improve product security with limited drag on the people involved.
