Who this is for

Cloud-native teams
Need guardrails for IAM, networking, storage, and logging.
Product teams
Secure SDLC, secrets, and dependency hygiene without slowing delivery.
SMBs growing fast
Practical controls to satisfy buyers and reduce attack surface.

What you get

  • Hardened cloud IAM, network boundaries, and logging/monitoring.
  • Secure SDLC patterns: secrets, dependencies, CI/CD artifacts.
  • Access controls: MFA, device posture, zero trust-aligned policies.
  • Backup, recovery, and incident readiness guardrails.
  • Actionable roadmap with quick wins and phased improvements.

How I work

Discovery & threat model

Understand architecture, assets, and attacker paths.

Baseline & gaps

Map current controls vs. best practices and standards.

Hardening plan

Prioritized controls for cloud, app, CI/CD, and access.

Implement & validate

Apply changes with your team and verify effectiveness.

Runbooks & readiness

Backups, recovery, monitoring, and incident drills.

Why work with me

  • Offensive + defensive blend: exploit thinking applied to controls.
  • Cloud and app focused; zero trust-aligned access patterns.
  • Lean, implementable controls with docs and validation steps.

Common hurdles solved

IAM sprawl & privilege creep Logging gaps & alert fatigue Secrets in code & CI/CD Unhardened endpoints Backup & recovery gaps

FAQ

How long does hardening take?
Quick wins in 1–2 weeks; deeper changes over 4–8 weeks depending on scope.
Will this slow releases?
Controls are phased to minimize friction-secure defaults, then stronger guardrails.
Do you provide runbooks?
Yes-backups, recovery checks, and incident steps are documented and tested.
