Security Architecture

Security that works in the real world

Enterprise security architecture, zero-trust implementation, physical access control systems, and deep assessments of complex internal systems. We handle the hard problems that generic security consultancies avoid.

Security Capabilities

Deep expertise across the full spectrum of enterprise security, from cloud-native architectures to legacy physical access systems.

Specialty

Physical Access Control Security

Physical access control systems are often the forgotten attack surface. They bridge digital and physical security, frequently managed by facilities teams with limited security visibility, yet increasingly connected to corporate networks and identity systems.

We specialize in the security of these complex integrations: the message queues, service accounts, legacy protocols, and custom middleware that connect badge systems to enterprise infrastructure.

Platform Expertise

CCure 9000, Lenel OnGuard, Software House, Genetec, and custom-built systems

Integration Security

Message queues, APIs, database connections, and legacy protocol analysis

Credential Security

Service account hygiene, credential rotation, and privilege management

Common Findings

Critical

Plaintext credentials in message queue traffic between badge systems and backend databases

High

Unauthenticated access to RabbitMQ/MQ Series brokers from corporate network

High

Over-privileged service accounts with database admin rights

Medium

No network segmentation between access control systems and general IT

Specialty

Cloud Security Architecture

Cloud security isn't just about checking compliance boxes. It's about understanding how attackers actually move through cloud environments and building architectures that make lateral movement genuinely difficult.

We've secured environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP at scale. Not just configuration reviews, but deep architecture work: IAM policy design, network segmentation, secrets management, and the operational practices that keep environments secure as they evolve.

Multi-Cloud Expertise

AWS, Azure, GCP with native security services and cross-cloud consistency

Identity-First Security

IAM policy design, privilege escalation prevention, and cross-account access patterns

Infrastructure as Code Security

Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi with security scanning and policy enforcement

Common Findings

Critical

IAM policies allowing privilege escalation through service role assumption chains

Critical

Secrets hardcoded in Lambda functions, container images, or source control

High

Public S3 buckets or overly permissive bucket policies exposing sensitive data

High

Security groups allowing unrestricted egress enabling data exfiltration

Medium

No centralized logging or CloudTrail gaps preventing incident investigation
