Secure byDesign.

Cybersecurity assessment services and cyber security penetration testing services for product teams who can't afford to bolt security on after a breach. IT security assessments, dashboards, auth, and access control built for SOC-grade reality.

01Who it's for

If security is an afterthought.

Most teams call me after a close call or a compliance deadline they suddenly can't ignore.

Our pen test report came back ugly and we need to ship fixes fast.

Our SOC analysts are drowning in alerts because the dashboard is unreadable.

We're chasing SOC 2 and half our UI ignores access control.

We need security features in-product but they can't slow users down.

02What you get

Security, made usable.

Cybersecurity assessments aren't a checkbox here — they're how every engagement starts. IT security assessment, cyber security audit and compliance, and remediation rolled into a single SOW.

01

SOC & Threat Dashboards

Interfaces tuned for analysts working under pressure. 5-level severity systems, live alert queues, and component libraries that make triage fast.

02

Auth + Access Control

Secure login flows, MFA, session handling, and role-based access — built so they don't feel like obstacles to legitimate users.

03

Compliance-Ready UX

Consent flows, audit trails, data export, and deletion UIs that check the SOC 2 / GDPR / HIPAA boxes without breaking the product.

04

Sentinel DS

An enterprise cybersecurity design system — tokens, components, and documentation purpose-built for security interfaces. Published as open source.

03The Process

Model the threat, build the defence.

I.

Threat Model

What are we defending, against whom, and how much friction are we allowed to add?

  • Asset inventory
  • Attacker personas
  • Abuse + misuse cases
  • Risk register
II.

Design

Security features designed alongside the product — not after. Friction where it matters, frictionless everywhere else.

  • Auth + session design
  • Role-based UI states
  • Alerting + incident flows
  • Consent + audit surfaces
III.

Build

Production-grade implementation — secure by default, with observability baked in.

  • OWASP-aware frontend
  • Hardened backend
  • Audit logging
  • Pen-test preparation
IV.

Verify

Handoff to pen testers, walkthrough with auditors, and a remediation plan for findings.

  • Pen-test coordination
  • Audit-ready docs
  • Remediation plan
  • Security design system
05Specialties

Cyber security assessment and management, end-to-end.

A cybersecurity assessment without a remediation plan is just an expensive scare. Every engagement here pairs the audit with the build — cyber security assessment and management together, not separately invoiced.

01

Cybersecurity assessment services

Full cybersecurity assessment services — OWASP Top 10 review, architecture audit, secret scanning, dependency CVE check, and a remediation roadmap ranked by exploit likelihood × business impact.

02

Cyber security penetration testing services

Manual + automated cyber security penetration testing services, plus website penetration testing service work and web security services for SaaS apps and customer portals. Includes hands-on website security services — findings ranked, scoped to fix, and re-tested after remediation.

03

Cyber security audit and compliance

Cyber security audit and compliance work for teams chasing SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, or HIPAA. Cyber security auditing focused on the gaps that actually block your auditor — not theatre for the board deck.

04

IT security assessments + remediation

Full IT security assessments covering infrastructure, identity, and data — not just app code. Then the same hands that ran the IT security assessment ship the fixes, so nothing gets lost between audit and build.

Security that
doesn't get in the way.

Book a call and I'll walk through what a real cybersecurity assessment looks like for your specific product — and where yours is likely leaking.
