Security with Attitude
38 years breaking systems so yours doesn't have to be broken by someone else.
ThreatTape delivers experienced, no-BS cybersecurity consulting — from security architecture and penetration testing to compliance navigation and executive advisory. No vendor agenda. No billable-hour theater. Just results.
What We Do
Consulting Services
No compliance theater. No vendor kickbacks. Services designed around your actual risk, not a packaged offering that looks good on a slide deck.
Security Architecture
Design security that works with your business, not against it. Zero trust, cloud security, and network segmentation built on 38 years of what actually holds up.
- Zero trust architecture design and implementation
- Cloud security assessment (AWS, Azure, GCP, Oracle)
- Network segmentation and microsegmentation
- Identity and access management strategy
- DevSecOps integration and security pipeline design
Penetration Testing
Real-world attack simulations that find vulnerabilities before the adversaries do. Delivered with context, not just a vulnerability dump.
- External and internal network penetration testing
- Web application security assessment
- Social engineering and phishing simulation
- Cloud environment red team exercises
- Actionable remediation roadmap with findings
Compliance & Regulatory
Navigate the alphabet soup of compliance frameworks without losing your sanity or your budget. Eight frameworks, one team that actually knows them.
- Gap analysis across FedRAMP, CMMC, SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CIS Controls
- Compliance readiness assessment and roadmap
- Policy development and implementation
- Audit preparation and support
- Ongoing compliance monitoring programs
Incident Response
When things go sideways, you need someone who has been there before. Breach containment, forensics, and recovery that actually gets you back to operational.
- 24/7 emergency response engagement
- Digital forensics and root cause analysis
- Breach containment and recovery planning
- Regulatory notification guidance
- Post-incident hardening and lessons-learned
Virtual CISO (vCISO)
Senior security leadership without the full-time salary. A working CISO who shows up in the server room, not just the boardroom.
- Security program strategy and governance
- Board and executive risk reporting
- Security team leadership and mentorship
- Vendor evaluation and security roadmap
- Regulatory and audit liaison
Executive Advisory
Translate technical risk into business language your C-suite and board will actually act on. Security briefings that create decisions, not confusion.
- Board-level threat briefings and risk presentations
- Security budget justification and ROI analysis
- Strategic security program planning
- M&A security due diligence
- Expert witness and litigation support
Why Us
What You're Actually Getting
The market is full of consultants who've read the frameworks. We've implemented them — at scale, under budget pressure, during active incidents, and in front of federal auditors.
38 Years of Actual Scars
IBM/ISS. EarthLink. Northrop Grumman/CDC. U.S. Bank. Microsoft/Activision. Not theory — operational security across every vertical, at every scale, including during the CDC Ebola response and a $69B acquisition.
No Vendor Agenda
We don't sell products to earn commissions on. Our recommendations are based on what works for your environment and budget — not what has the best reseller margin.
We Build, Not Just Advise
ThreatTape builds production security tools — EDD-i, CGAP, Ostraq, ThreatTape Recon. When we recommend an architecture, we've built something like it in the real world.
Plain Language
Technical risk translated into business language. Your executives will understand the threat, the exposure, and what fixing it actually costs — without a translator.
Practical, Not Perfect
Security that fits your actual budget and organizational reality. No perfectionist architectures that never get implemented because they require 47 approvals and a staff of 20.
Credentialed and Litigated
CISSP, CISM, Certified Blockchain Professional. Expert witness in patent litigation. 3 approved patents + 13 pending. The credentials exist, but they're not why you hire us.
