What we do
Six disciplines. One standard: enterprise-grade.
Every engagement is principal-led, security-first, and built to hand off clean — with documentation, automation, and operational runbooks included.
Zero Trust & Identity Security
Identity is the new perimeter. We design Entra ID architectures with Conditional Access, PIM, and least-privilege governance that hold up to audit.
Threat Protection & SecOps
Defender XDR and Sentinel deployments that move your SOC from reactive triage to engineered response — detection, automation, and incident readiness.
Compliance & Data Governance
Full Microsoft Purview suite — DLP, Information Protection, Insider Risk, eDiscovery, and legal hold — mapped to the frameworks your auditors care about.
GCC High & Federal Cloud
Deep experience standing up, migrating, and decommissioning GCC High tenants for DoD contractors — NIST 800-171, CMMC, FedRAMP, ITAR, and NOFORN handled.
AI Workflow Engineering
Enterprise Claude and ChatGPT administration, prompt frameworks, and agentic automation that turn AI policy into measurable hours recovered — securely.
