Capabilities

Reference for referral partners

For attorneys, family offices, business managers, and management companies who want specifics before making an introduction. This is the operational footprint of the practice: what we actually do, in the language of the people who do it.

Practice Areas

Each engagement is scoped to the situation. The capabilities below are typical components of larger programs. Referrals are welcome for any combination, including matters that don't map cleanly to a single category.

01
Digital Forensics & Investigations
Pre-litigation and pre-incident investigative work for matters that may end up in front of counsel, regulators, or platforms.
  • Open-source intelligence (OSINT) collection
  • Digital footprint & exposure assessment
  • Credential compromise analysis
  • Account access forensics
  • Evidentiary packaging for legal proceedings
Conducted through an affiliated licensed private investigation firm where state licensure is required.
02
Compliance Program Development
Active program builds, not just gap assessments. We stand the program up, run it, and prepare it for audit.
  • CMMC (Levels 1–3) program development
  • NIST 800-171 implementation
  • NIST CSF maturity assessment
  • CIS Benchmarks alignment
  • STIG compliance & POAM management
  • SSP authoring & evidence collection
Currently building and managing a full CMMC program for a Fortune 500 infrastructure technology company.
03
AI Systems Security
Built from production AI architecture experience: multi-agent CI/CD pipelines, adversarial validation harnesses, behavioral assessment engines.
  • Threat modeling for LLM & multi-agent deployments
  • Adversarial red-team validation
  • Prompt injection & data exfiltration defense
  • Data governance for training pipelines
  • EU AI Act & NIST AI RMF alignment
Informed by building production AI systems, not advising from the sideline.
04
Digital Principal Protection
Full lifecycle for high-profile individuals: from incident response and recovery through long-term hardening and monitoring. Coordination is the deliverable.
  • Account compromise assessment & recovery
  • Coordination with legal counsel & platform contacts
  • Management-team access governance
  • Dark web & breach monitoring
  • Ongoing retainer-based protection
See the Principal Protection page for the engagement model.
05
Secure Infrastructure
Operational security architecture for the practice itself and for client engagements that demand it. Privacy-as-default is structural, not policy.
  • Zero-trust network architecture
  • End-to-end encrypted communications
  • LUKS-encrypted client data vaults
  • Compartmentalized operational environments
  • Hardware-key authentication & SIM lock policy
06
Managed Network Defense
Hardware firewall installation with configurations composed by hand for each environment, held to that standard under a monitoring retainer in which every alert is reviewed, not sampled, not queued.
  • Hardware firewall selection, installation & hardening
  • Custom rulesets per environment, no vendor defaults
  • IDS/IPS deployment & signature tuning
  • Encrypted alert pipeline with full triage under retainer
  • Firmware lifecycle management & periodic rule review
Retainer clients escalate directly to the engineer who built their configuration. No ticket queue, no tiered support. Retainer structure is detailed on the Engagement page.

Standards & Independence

We deploy business-grade platforms we have personally validated; hardware we have configured, stressed, and lived with before it carries a client's traffic. The practice holds no vendor relationships, no reseller agreements, and accepts no referral commissions. When we recommend a platform, the recommendation is the product; nothing else changes hands.

Recommendations are never revenue. If a cheaper device, an open-source tool, or no purchase at all is the right answer, that is the answer you get.

For Partners

Referrals come primarily from attorneys, business managers, family offices, and management companies. We work under NDA by default, can engage directly with the principal or through their representative, and accept matters where the right move is to scope down rather than scope up.

If the situation requires capabilities beyond the practice's licensure or scope, we say so plainly and route the matter to the appropriate firm, including our affiliated PI firm for licensed investigative work. Reputation is the only asset that matters in this referral economy; we operate accordingly.
