Developers for a 300-location franchise operator

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A franchisee running about 300 restaurants across several national brands had written procedures but no reliable way to see whether they were followed. Over more than three years on retainer, we acted as its development team across operations, HR, construction, IT, accounting, and executive reporting.

Security remediation

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

When clients call us

A pen test or scan report you can’t act on. The findings point at code or configuration your IT support can’t change. The original developer is gone or busy.
A failed audit or customer security questionnaire. A customer, auditor, or partner wants answers and evidence before the relationship can go further.
An insurance or compliance requirement. A cyber-insurance application, PCI DSS, or SOC 2 asks for controls you don’t have in place yet.
Old custom code or integrations without an owner. The software still runs the business, but it hasn’t had a security review or update in years.
AI-generated code in production. Code written by AI tools went live without a security review.

What we do

Turning findings into fixes. We rank findings by real risk and make the changes in the code, configuration, or infrastructure. Then we retest to confirm they are closed.
Application and API security reviews. Where there is no report yet, we review the software you build, buy, or integrate with. We identify where it can be misused.
Evidence for auditors and customers. We document what was fixed and how, so you can answer the questionnaire or the auditor with something concrete.
Access controls and encryption to protect data and applications.
AI coding agents within policy. If your developers use AI coding agents, we help put controls in place. The agents then follow the same rules your people do.
Security tools you own. When off-the-shelf scanners don’t fit, we build assessment and testing tools that stay with you after the engagement.

Fix the flaw where it lives

Many organizations respond to findings by adding a layer around the application. That might be a firewall rule, a new network segment, or another security tool. The flaw stays in the code.

Rebuilding a failed data warehouse integration

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

After more than a year and more than $1 million, a previous vendor’s data warehouse implementation was unusable. We recommended starting over, rebuilt the integration in about three months, and it is still in use.

Training & enablement

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Custom courses

We build training around your stack: the systems, procedures, and policies your staff work with every day.

Two members of our team hold M.Ed. degrees in instructional design. Each has more than 10 years of experience building online training for adult professionals. Courses are written for the people who take them.

Audit-ready records

Training is often something you have to prove. We set up records that show who completed which training and when, in a form you can hand to an auditor.

Integration & cloud

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The problem

A mid-sized business runs on many systems: accounting, HR, scheduling, operations, and more. Most of them don’t talk to each other. So data gets exported, pasted into spreadsheets, summarized, and emailed. By the time the numbers reach executives, it is hard to say where they came from or whether they are right.

Integration and automation

We connect the systems you already have so data entered once shows up where it is needed. We automate the exports, imports, and hand-offs that staff now do by hand. This is usually a better first step than replacing a system.

Membership platform for a cybersecurity guild

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

A regional cybersecurity guild of about 60 members needed to manage membership, dues, and events without giving its member list to a third-party service. We built Coterie, which the guild now runs itself.

Knowing, not hoping

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Most organizations can produce the policy. Fewer can show that anyone followed it. Training records, checklists, and connected systems close that gap.

Our work covers security remediation, training, systems integration, and cloud architecture. It draws on experience standardizing processes, setting up governance, and managing risk. Team certifications include ISC2 CCSP and CompTIA Security+.

We stay involved through the life of a project and after it, so the work keeps doing its job once it’s delivered.

Where your offering ends, ours begins

Many MSPs and MSSPs focus on help desk, workstation support, Microsoft 365 administration, Active Directory, email security, monitoring, and related services. We work on the parts of technology that usually fall outside that:

Fixes for pen-test and scan findings in application code, APIs, and integrations
Custom training and LMS deployment
Systems integration and reporting
Cloud architecture

For penetration-testing firms

You find the problems. Your clients then ask who is going to fix them, and often their own staff cannot change the code. We do the fixing, under your engagement or alongside it, and the client relationship stays yours.
