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.
Assurance is delivered as focused engagements. Most clients start with the one keeping them up at night and add others as the picture sharpens.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
Assurance engagements are built for buyers who cannot afford a surprise. You know the scope, the timeline, and the deliverable before the work begins.
A 30-minute call to define scope, the frameworks that apply, and what “done” looks like. No charge, no pitch.
We examine the system — architecture, controls, configuration, evidence — and test it where adversarial testing is in scope.
A clear report: what is secure, what is not, and a prioritized, costed remediation roadmap.
We remediate alongside your team and produce the SOC 2 and ISO artifacts you carry into your next audit.
Outcomes from large-scale, high-stakes engagements, described generically pending private-sector references.
Thirty minutes to scope the work. You will leave the call knowing where your AI is exposed, which frameworks apply, and what an engagement would involve.
