Cybersecurity

Engineering help for security product companies and the teams that defend organisations. Security teams collect more telemetry than they can read, and security vendors need to ship detection content, integrations and reports faster than threats change. Software fits in two places: the products security companies sell, and the internal tooling that turns alerts, assets and evidence into decisions a small team can actually make.

  • Security product and SaaS companies
  • Managed security service providers (MSSPs)
  • In-house SOC and security engineering teams
  • GRC and audit firms
  • VAPT and red team consultancies

The pressure points

What slows cybersecurity teams down

Alert volume beats headcount
A SIEM fires thousands of alerts a day. Analysts close most as noise and the real incident waits in the queue.
Asset inventory is never complete
Cloud accounts, SaaS apps and shadow IT appear faster than the CMDB is updated, so nobody knows the full attack surface.
Audit evidence is collected by hand
Before every ISO 27001 or SOC 2 audit, someone spends weeks taking screenshots and chasing control owners.
Integration work never ends
Every customer has a different stack of firewalls, EDR, identity providers and ticketing tools, and each needs a connector.

Built for this sector

Systems specific to cybersecurity

The work that generic software does not cover, and where most of the value sits.

SOAR playbooks and connectors
Enrichment, containment and ticketing steps built as code against your SIEM, EDR, firewall and identity provider APIs.
Attack surface inventory
Discovers domains, cloud resources and exposed services and reconciles them with the asset register and owners.
Vulnerability management workflow
Scanner output deduplicated, prioritised by exploitability and asset criticality, and assigned to the owning team with SLAs.
Detection engineering pipeline
Detection rules in version control with tests against sample logs, peer review and staged rollout.

Where AI helps

AI use cases with a clear return

  1. Alert triage assistant

    Gathers context on an alert from logs, asset data and threat intelligence, then writes a summary and suggested verdict for the analyst.

    Analysts reach a decision on each alert sooner, with the evidence in one place

  2. Security questionnaire answering

    Drafts answers to customer security questionnaires from your policies and past responses, with sources, for the security team to approve.

    Sales cycles stop waiting on questionnaires

  3. Threat report summaries

    Reads advisories and threat reports and maps the indicators and techniques to what you run.

    Relevant threats reach the right team the same day

  4. Policy to control mapping

    Maps written policies and technical settings to framework controls and points out gaps.

    Audit preparation starts from a ready gap list

  5. Incident report drafting

    Builds a timeline and draft report from tickets, chat and logs after an incident, ready for review and CERT-In reporting.

    Draft ready for review within the 6 hour CERT-In reporting window

Before you start

Cybersecurity: common questions

Do you build security products or run SOCs?

We build software: product features, connectors, detection pipelines and internal tools. We do not run a managed SOC or sell security services.

Can an AI agent take containment actions?

It can propose them. We wire actions such as isolating a host behind an approval step, so an analyst confirms before anything changes in production.

How do you handle access to our security data?

Least privilege accounts, work inside your environment where possible, and access removed at the end of the engagement. We document every system we touch.
