Assurance — Practice 01

AI security for organizations that cannot afford a breach.

The Assurance practice secures AI and cloud systems and makes them audit-ready — architecture, assessment, adversarial testing, and remediation for enterprises and small businesses across the US, Canada, and international markets. The architect reviewing your system holds an active Top Secret clearance and has spent 30 years securing some of the highest-stakes systems in government.

What we do

Six ways we make your AI defensible.

Assurance is delivered as focused engagements. Most clients start with the one keeping them up at night and add others as the picture sharpens.

01

AI Security & Governance

AI systems fail in ways traditional systems do not — a model leaks training data, an agent is talked past its guardrails, a pipeline is quietly poisoned. We assess your models, pipelines, and agents, then put the governance in place that keeps them accountable.

AI Red Teaming

Adversarial testing before an attacker does it for you. Prompt injection, data poisoning, model extraction, jailbreaks, and output manipulation — tested against your live system. The work private-sector clients are contacting us about most.

Cloud Security Architecture

Security designed in, not retrofitted. We architect across AWS, Azure, and GCP — Zero Trust segmentation, landing-zone guardrails, identity, encryption, and monitoring — mapped to the NIST CSF, ISO 27001, and SOC 2 from the first diagram.

Compliance & Audit Readiness

SOC 2, ISO 27001, and ISO 42001 are the attestations your customers, partners, and investors increasingly require. We run the gap analysis, build a prioritized remediation roadmap, and prepare you for audit.

Data Protection & Privacy

For AI, the hardest question is the simplest: where does the data go? We design data boundaries that keep sensitive and regulated data in the right jurisdiction and out of public models — addressing GDPR, HIPAA, and contractual residency obligations.

Resilience & Continuity

Resilience that has been exercised, not just written down. For cloud and hybrid environments running business-critical workloads — multi-region failover, automated runbooks, and live recovery exercises, not tabletop walk-throughs.

Frameworks

Fluent across the standards your customers and regulators expect.

Most consultants specialize in one framework. Assurance work spans them — SOC 2 and the NIST CSF for US enterprise expectations, ISO 27001 and 42001 for international and AI governance, GDPR and HIPAA where your data demands it. Government-grade frameworks remain available where your contracts require them.

How it works

No surprises. That is the point.

Assurance engagements are built for buyers who cannot afford a surprise. You know the scope, the timeline, and the deliverable before the work begins.

Security Review Call

A 30-minute call to define scope, the frameworks that apply, and what “done” looks like. No charge, no pitch.

Assessment

We examine the system — architecture, controls, configuration, evidence — and test it where adversarial testing is in scope.

Findings & Roadmap

A clear report: what is secure, what is not, and a prioritized, costed remediation roadmap.

Remediation & Evidence

We remediate alongside your team and produce the SOC 2 and ISO artifacts you carry into your next audit.

Proof

Security work, measured.

50%
faster threat response — AI-assisted threat detection in cloud landing zones for a large-scale environment
45%
