We get engineering-led companies certified for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and the privacy alphabet. We prove it with real pentests, not checkbox audits.
One partner across the full lifecycle: scope, implement, certify, and sustain. No handoffs, no separate pentest vendor, no ‘out of scope’ surprises.
ISMS design, control implementation, internal audits, and certification readiness, through Stage 1, Stage 2, and every surveillance audit after.
Trust Services Criteria mapped to your real stack. We prep evidence, run the observation period, and make the attestation a non-event.
Scope reduction first, controls second. ASV scans, segmentation testing, and a RoC your QSA will actually sign without months of back-and-forth.
OSCP/OSCE-led offensive testing across web, mobile, API, cloud, and internal networks. Reports your developers will read; remediation calls included.
Fractional security leadership for teams between “the founder handles it” and a full-time CISO. Board reporting, vendor reviews, incident response retainers.
Privacy programs that survive a regulator email. DPIAs, data mapping, DSAR workflows, processor agreements, in the regions you actually sell.
The trigger is almost always the same: a prospect asked for SOC 2, or ISO, or a security questionnaire is sitting in someone’s inbox. We work backwards from the deal, not forwards from a template.
Two weeks. We read the procurement questionnaire your prospect sent, map what your stack actually does, and tell you the minimum scope that gets the contract signed. You leave with a roadmap and a fixed number, not a 90-page report.
Controls land as Terraform, GitHub Actions, Okta groups, and short markdown policies that live in your monorepo. Your engineers keep shipping product; sprint velocity barely moves.
We break into your environment in week six, not week sixteen. The SQL injection in the new admin endpoint gets fixed before it becomes a finding that puts the cert on hold. Re-tests included.
We sit in the audit calls with you. Once the certificate lands and enterprise deals start moving, we stay on for the security questionnaire flood, the surveillance audit twelve months later, and the next framework your buyers ask about.
The two audiences who decide whether a compliance program succeeds. The compliance industry is built for one and at odds with the other. We are built for both.
Most compliance firms write policies and outsource the pentest to a vendor you will never meet. We are the pentest team. Every control we recommend is one we have watched fail in someone else’s environment first.
Evidence as YAML, signed and version-controlled. Controls as Terraform modules and GitHub Actions. Policies as markdown next to your code. Your senior engineers stop calling compliance theatre.
Before kickoff we get on a call with your auditor and map their specific interpretation of every control to your stack. No surprise findings six weeks in, no rewrite cycles because their definition of "least privilege" differs from ours.
The person who writes your Statement of Applicability is the person on your surveillance-audit call two years later, and the renewal call after that. No account managers. No offshore handoff. No re-onboarding tax when ISO 27017 comes up next.
Typical SOC 2 Type I: 8 to 10 weeks. ISO 27001 Stage 1: 12 to 16 weeks. PCI-DSS depends on your scope; ask us on a call. We never promise unrealistic dates, and we hit the ones we give you.
We are framework-agnostic and auditor-neutral. We work with the CPA firm or certification body you choose, and we can introduce you to firms we trust if you don’t have one.
Scope is engagement-specific, but typically: external perimeter, web app + API, authenticated user roles, cloud control plane (AWS/GCP/Azure), and an internal/assumed-breach scenario. Mobile and red-team optional.
Fixed-fee per framework for certification engagements; retained monthly for vCISO and continuous compliance. No hourly billing surprises. Detailed scope and price after a 30-minute call.
sudodudes infrastructure is hosted in-house on hardware we own and physically control. Client evidence is stored in your tenants wherever possible; what we do hold is encrypted, segmented, and auditable.
Get a 30-minute scoping call. Walk out with a real timeline, a real number, and a no-pressure answer to “is this even worth it for us right now.”
