Getting started is simple. Reach out to us via our contact page or call us directly and we'll schedule a free initial consultation. During that call, we'll ask about your current environment, your biggest concerns, and your goals. From there, we can recommend a tailored approach — whether that's a full security evaluation, a specific service engagement, or an ongoing managed relationship. There's no obligation, and we promise not to hit you with a sales pitch before we've actually listened.
Our network security evaluation is a hands-on assessment of your current security posture. We review your network architecture, firewall rules, access controls, identity and authentication systems, endpoint protection, and logging and monitoring capabilities. We look for misconfigurations, gaps in coverage, and areas where an attacker could gain a foothold or move laterally. At the end, you receive a prioritized report with specific, actionable recommendations — not a 200-page document that collects dust.
Yes. Cloud security is one of our core focus areas. We work with AWS, Azure, and hybrid environments. Common engagements include IAM policy review, security group and network ACL audits, storage bucket exposure checks, logging and monitoring setup, and cloud security posture assessments. If you've moved workloads to the cloud and aren't sure whether your configuration is secure, that's exactly the conversation we want to have.
Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) is a network access control platform that lets you enforce who and what can connect to your network — and under what conditions. It's especially valuable for organizations that need to segment guest traffic, enforce device compliance before granting access, or meet compliance requirements like HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or CMMC. Whether you need ISE depends on your network size, compliance requirements, and risk tolerance. We can help you evaluate whether it's the right fit and handle the full deployment if it is.
Absolutely. OpenStack is one of our specialties. We help organizations design, deploy, and manage private cloud environments using OpenStack, including image management, networking configuration, storage setup, and ongoing operations support. If you're evaluating whether a private cloud makes sense for your workloads, or if you've already started an OpenStack deployment and hit a wall, we're happy to help.
We take confidentiality seriously. Before any engagement begins, we establish a formal scope of work and, where appropriate, a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Any credentials, network diagrams, or sensitive data shared with us are handled with strict need-to-know controls and are never retained beyond the end of the engagement. Our team follows industry-standard data handling practices, and we're happy to discuss our specific procedures during the scoping call.
