About
ShadeSec was founded by two ex-military cyber operators who have worked across the spectrum — startups to enterprises, public sector to private. We are pragmatic above all else: we don't just flag problems, we build solutions. Custom tooling, intelligent automation, and hands-on expertise designed to actually move the needle for your team.

Control+s (Spinout)
Control+s is a compliance platform built in-house by the ShadeSec team and now spinning out as its own venture. It turns evidence into defensible control assessments by mapping uploaded artifacts to controls across CIS Controls, ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST, PCI DSS 4.0, FedRAMP and more, auto-drafting assessments so GRC teams focus on judgment rather than busywork.
- Tagline: Turn evidence into defensible control assessments.
- Audience: Consulting firms, vCISO teams, and internal GRC teams managing multi-framework assessments.
- Status: Early access / design-partner program.
