Forward-deployed security engineering

Think of it as a highly competent security hire you can bring in on demand. No months-long search, no ramp-up quarter: we arrive ready to build and start changing things in the first week.

We work inside your tools, your repositories and your incident channel, on-site in Toronto or remote. We start by wrangling your data, build what fixes the problem, and leave behind systems your team can run.

When it fits

  • You ship quickly, often with AI-generated code, and nobody owns security full time.
  • Customers, auditors or government buyers are asking questions you cannot answer with evidence yet.
  • You already have a pentest provider and a compliance tool, but nobody connects the findings to the code.
  • You want AI in your security program, with an accountable human verifying what it does.

How it works

We build and prepare everything along the way. A person always makes the final call before anything moves on.

  1. Get access

    Read-only access to the systems that matter, agreed with your team on day one.

  2. Wrangle the data

    Assets, owners, findings and access pulled out of a dozen tools into one picture, in days rather than months.

  3. Build the fixes

    Pull requests, pipeline changes and automation, written and tested by us.

  4. Human checkpoint

    Your engineers review and merge

    You stay in control of what ships.

  5. Keep it moving

    Change reviews, evidence collection and monitoring keep running between releases.

What we do while embedded

  • Security foundation review

    Read-only access to GitHub, cloud, CI/CD, identity and compliance material. We map applications, environments, secrets, tenant isolation and deployment paths, then rank what matters.

  • Fixes, not tickets

    We write the pull requests ourselves: IAM tightening, secret removal, pipeline hardening, dependency upgrades and configuration changes, reviewed by your engineers.

  • Continuous change review

    Significant product changes get a security review before they ship. Agents watch repositories and infrastructure between reviews and raise what needs a human.

  • Evidence that holds up

    Controls are validated against what is actually deployed, not what the policy says. Evidence collection is automated so audits stop being a fire drill.

How engagements run

  1. 01

    Foundation sprint

    One to four weeks. Review, fix the highest-priority issues directly, and hand over a ranked backlog and monitoring plan.

  2. 02

    Embedded

    Month to month. Your on-demand security hire for change reviews, remediation, architecture decisions and customer security questions.

  3. 03

    Managed

    If we built it, we can run it: the automation and agents keep working and improving after the build.

What you get

  • A security owner without a full-time hire
  • Merged fixes and a ranked backlog, not a PDF
  • Answers for customer and auditor security questions
  • Systems your team understands and can take over
