Use Cases
These are the situations our clients come to us with. Not abstract threats — specific gaps that create real exposure.
Shadow AI
Staff are connecting ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, and dozens of other AI tools to do their work. You don't know which ones, who's using them, or what access they've been granted. Shadow AI is the new shadow IT — and it carries the same blind spots plus new ones around data training and model retention.
We map your AI surface, build an approved tool registry, and implement governance controls before a regulator or breach forces the conversation.
AI Governance
Employees paste financial projections, patient records, legal memos, and deal terms into AI assistants every day. The data leaves your environment, potentially trains external models, and may be retained by third-party providers. You have no audit trail and no way to know what's already out there.
We implement data classification, DLP controls, and acceptable-use policies for AI tools that actually get enforced.
Data Security
Data at rest in storage buckets, data in motion between services, and data in use by applications — most organizations can't accurately inventory any of the three. Misconfigurations expose data silently. Compliance attestations rely on assumptions rather than verified evidence.
We run a cloud data discovery assessment, identify exposure, and build a remediation roadmap tied to your compliance obligations.
SIEM / SOC
Your SIEM is generating thousands of alerts a week. Your team is spending hours triaging low-fidelity noise while real threats get buried. Alert fatigue is a documented path to breach. Most organizations are logging everything and acting on nothing.
We tune your detection stack, build high-fidelity alerting logic, and evaluate whether managed detection or AI-assisted triage closes the gap faster than hiring.
Incident Response
A suspicious login, a ransomware note, a vendor telling you they were breached. The first hours of a security incident determine the outcome. Organizations without a tested IR plan default to panic, make decisions that destroy forensic evidence, and pay more to recover.
We provide immediate advisory support, help you contain and scope the incident, and rebuild a tested playbook when it's over.
Threat Detection
Anomalous logins, unusual data movement, a third party flagging suspicious traffic. Something feels wrong but you don't have the tooling or expertise to confirm or rule it out. The longer uncertainty persists, the more exposure grows.
We run a compromise assessment — a structured hunt across your environment to determine whether a breach has occurred and what was accessed.
Email Security
AI-generated phishing is indistinguishable from legitimate email. BEC losses top $2.9B annually. Legacy secure email gateways miss modern attacks. And even organizations with strong controls lose to vendor impersonation and thread hijacking.
We assess your current email security posture, identify gaps, and deploy AI-native protection that catches what rules-based systems miss.
Email Security
Outbound email is one of the most common data loss vectors. Employees forward confidential documents to personal accounts, attach the wrong files, or reply-all to threads that include external parties. Most organizations have no outbound inspection beyond basic spam filters.
We implement outbound DLP controls, classify sensitive data in transit, and build policies that log, quarantine, or block based on content and destination.
Workforce Activity
With distributed teams, login data and badge swipes tell you almost nothing. Managers want evidence — actual productivity metrics, activity timelines, and in some cases visual verification — that employees are present and performing. Without it, you're managing on trust alone.
We deploy workforce activity monitoring with real data points: active hours, application usage, productivity scores, and optional session recording with screen and audio capture. All subject to legal review before deployment.
Insider Risk
Resignations and terminations are high-risk moments. Employees exfiltrate files in the weeks before they leave — via personal email, cloud sync, USB, or just screenshots. By the time you discover it, they're gone and the evidence window has closed.
We implement pre-departure monitoring and forensic investigation protocols that create an evidence trail and support legal action if warranted.
Identity Security
Admin credentials, service accounts, and shared passwords are the most-targeted assets in your environment. When one is compromised, attackers move laterally without triggering alerts. Privileged access governance is frequently the gap between a contained incident and a catastrophic one.
We assess your identity architecture, identify unmanaged privileged accounts, and implement PAM controls that reduce the blast radius of any credential compromise.
GRC
An enterprise prospect's security questionnaire. An OCC or FFIEC exam. A cyber insurance renewal. Regulatory inquiries now routinely include requests for documentation your team may not have in usable form. The gap between your security posture and your ability to evidence it is a material risk.
We prepare assessments, gap analyses, and documented security programs that satisfy regulatory, customer, and carrier requirements.
Third-Party Risk
Supply chain attacks are one of the fastest-growing breach vectors. Organizations inherit risk from every vendor with access to their data or systems. Most third-party risk programs are spreadsheet-based and lag reality by months. You learn about a critical vendor's breach from the news, not from them.
We build continuous vendor risk programs that prioritize based on access and criticality, automate evidence collection, and create contractual protections you can actually enforce.
Most of our engagements start with a conversation about a specific problem. Tell us what you're dealing with and we'll tell you how we'd approach it.
