What I do

Advisory

Design reviews, threat modeling, and fractional principal architect engagements for regulated enterprises.

Insights

Weekly unsanitised breach post-mortems and framework breakdowns, read by CISOs and architects who want the version before it’s sanitised for the board.

Frameworks & Templates

Practitioner-built risk registers, SABSA artefacts, and review templates, for teams who want the tools, not just the write-up.

The Latest Breakdowns

Every week: a real breach, decoded before the post-mortem gets sanitised, paired with the framework that would have caught it.

If your last design review found nothing wrong, nobody looked hard enough.

If it’s been longer than 12 months since your last one, the question isn’t if there’s a gap. It’s how big.
