Know who can reach what — and prove it on demand.

Identity and access security for teams held to the same standards as organizations ten times their size.

Engagement patterns

What one focused piece of work actually changes

Illustrative engagements modelled on the incident and enforcement patterns we work against. Not accounts of specific clients. Each is one workstream, not a whole-organization programme.

Nobody asks whether you have the control any more

They ask you to prove it — for one named person, on one specific date, from one place you can point to. Regulators, auditors and your customers’ security teams have all moved the same way, and the smaller your team, the more that hurts.

39%

of breaches involve credential abuse at some point in the attack chain — 13% as the initial access vector

We map evidence to the compliance frameworks that apply to you — FFIEC, NYDFS Part 500, PCI DSS 4.0.1, HIPAA, HITRUST, SOC 2, OSFI B-13, PIPEDA, Québec Law 25, PHIPA. If both sides of the border apply, you build the control once.

"Most identity programs fail on operations, not tooling. Zero-trust isn't a product you buy — it's a discipline we build into the stack you already own."

How the work runs

One piece at a time, finished properly

We scope to what one experienced consultant can genuinely finish, then hand it over with the runbook. The person you meet on the first call is the person who does the work — there is no delivery team behind us, and that is the point.

    We map who can reach what, and where the access nobody is watching sits
