04 · Security & Reliability

Security designed in, and reliability you can prove.

We make systems harder to break and faster to recover: threat models for the parts that matter, access that follows least privilege, supply chains you can account for and recovery procedures that have actually been tested.

When teams call us

You might be here because…

  1. 01An enterprise customer sent a security questionnaire you can’t answer yet.
  2. 02You are preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001 or DPDP obligations and need the engineering done.
  3. 03You inherited a system and don’t know where its weaknesses are.
  4. 04Single sign-on, roles and audit logs have become deal-breakers.
  5. 05An incident showed that recovery takes longer than anyone thought.

01What we build

Security & Reliability, in practice.

  • 01

    Architecture and code reviews

    A structured look at how your system handles identity, data, secrets and trust boundaries, with findings ranked by real risk and concrete fixes.

  • 02

    Threat modeling

    Mapping what an attacker would want, how they would get it and which controls stop them, for new features before they are built, not after.

  • 03

    Identity and access

    SSO with SAML and OpenID Connect, SCIM provisioning, role- and attribute-based access, session management and audit logs that answer “who did what”.

  • 04

    Supply-chain hygiene

    Dependency and secret scanning, pinned and reproducible builds, SBOMs, signed artifacts and a process for acting on advisories.

  • 05

    Compliance-readiness engineering

    Implementing and evidencing the technical controls behind SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR or India’s DPDP Act. Certification comes from your auditor; the engineering comes from us.

  • 06

    Resilience and recovery

    Backups that are restored on a schedule, disaster-recovery plans with measured recovery times and incident runbooks your on-call team can follow at 3 a.m.

02How we hold the line

The standards that come with it.

Findings you can act on
Every issue we report has evidence, a severity based on real exploitability and impact, and a specific fix. Not a scanner dump.
Standards we build to
OWASP ASVS and the OWASP Top 10, NIST SSDF practices and CIS benchmarks for cloud configuration guide our work. We say “aligned with”, never “certified”.
Recovery is tested
A backup that hasn’t been restored is a hope. We schedule restore tests and record the time they take.
Security that ships
Controls are designed to fit how your team works, so they stay switched on after the audit.

03Across the loop

How this practice shows up at every stage.

  1. 01 · 000°

    Design

    Threat models and security requirements alongside the product decisions.

  2. 02 · 060°

    Engineer

    Secure defaults in code: validated inputs, parameterised queries, safe secrets handling.

  3. 03 · 120°

    Integrate

    Trust boundaries, token scopes and webhook verification for every external system.

  4. 04 · 180°

    Secure

    Reviews, scans and fixes before launch, with residual risks written down.

  5. 05 · 240°

    Scale

    Rate limits, abuse controls and capacity for incidents as well as growth.

  6. 06 · 300°

    Maintain

    Patching, dependency updates, access reviews and restore tests on a calendar.

05How engagements run

How engagements run

  • Security review

    A time-boxed review of architecture, code and cloud configuration with a prioritized remediation plan.

  • Readiness program

    Engineering the controls and evidence your compliance program needs.

  • Embedded security engineering

    Security work inside your product team, sprint by sprint.

06In the work

Where you can see it.

Questions

What people ask first.

No. We are engineers who build and harden systems. For formal attestations and independent penetration tests, work with an accredited auditor or testing firm. We’ll prepare the system and the evidence, and fix what they find.

We implement and document the technical controls: access control, logging, encryption, change management, vendor and data handling. Certification and legal sign-off remain with your auditor and counsel.

See our Security page: least-privilege access, MFA everywhere, encrypted managed devices and your systems remaining in your accounts.

Which question on that security questionnaire can’t you answer yet?

A few lines are enough. We reply in writing, with questions rather than a sales deck.
