Zero Trust
Imagine standing in the British Library. Millions of books, no organization, no labeling—just shelves overflowing with unsorted information. Somewhere in that chaos is a clue to stop a thief, and it’s your job to find it. That’s what modern cybersecurity teams face every day.
Security isn’t about locking doors after intruders have come and gone. It’s about designing a world where they never get in. Imagine waking up to find someone’s broken into your house.

The Trusted Signature You’re alone in a quiet gallery of the Rijksmuseum, the soft hum of security systems barely audible beneath the air conditioning. A dim spotlight falls on a delicate sketch, its ink lines sharp against aged parchment. The plaque reads: Rembrandt van Rijn, ca. 1640. Experts have certified it. It’s catalogued, insured, cited. … Read more
We challenge you to look at cybersecurity assessments through a different lens. IT and executive leaders alike should recognize assessments for the sanity check they are, as well as a way to build trust within the organization. Not as some sort of score card or grading system, but as a way to figure out where to start and where to go next.
