Secure AI, cybersecurity, and compliance under one roof
Most of our clients want the benefits of AI without handing their data to a public model. We bring the AI engineering and the security and compliance expertise together, so the two never work against each other.
Private and On-Premise AI
Local large language models, retrieval-augmented generation, and AI agents running on hardware you control. Your data stays in your environment and never trains a public model. Explore our AI services.
Secure AI Adoption
Guardrails, data governance, and access controls that keep regulated data such as CUI, PHI, and client records out of public AI tools while your team still moves fast.
Cybersecurity & Managed Security
Risk assessments, endpoint and network hardening, and fully managed detection and response. See our managed security services and cybersecurity practice.
CMMC & NIST 800-171
Readiness, System Security Plans, POA&Ms, and enclave design for defense contractors and their suppliers. Start with our CMMC compliance guide.
Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Executive-level security leadership without a full-time hire. Strategy, policy, vendor risk, and board-ready reporting, led by Blake and our compliance team.
Expert Witness & Digital Forensics
Licensed digital forensic examination and technical expert-witness testimony for data breach, intellectual property, and digital evidence matters.
