Service 05 — Security and Architecture
Security as a delivery property.
Threat modelling, architecture review, contract review and release verification — security treated as a property of delivery, not a phase.
- Practice
- Review, verification, readiness
- Standards
- Foundry, Hardhat, CI gates
- Typical scope
- 3–10 weeks, time-boxed
Overview
Findings are only half the work.
Every review ends with fixed code, regression tests for each finding, and monitoring that would catch recurrence. A findings document without fixes is a liability with a cover page.
Security is a delivery property, not a phase: threat analysis before design, controls during implementation, verification before release, monitoring after it.
Capabilities
What this service covers.
- Threat and trust modelling — assets, actors and boundaries, documented.
- Secure architecture review — design examined before it hardens into code.
- Contract review — independent-style review with severity and fixes.
- Implementation controls — defaults, dependencies and least privilege.
- Release verification — rehearsal, permission checks and rollback paths.
- Incident readiness — runbooks, rehearsals and monitoring rules.
Engineering considerations
Reviewed like an adversary, fixed like an owner.
We review systems we did not build with the same standard as our own: every finding reproduced, severity-rated, fixed in code and covered by a regression test.
Findings ranked by exploitability and impact, remediation ordered by risk.
Static analysis, invariant tests and dependency scanning that block merges.
Each fixed class of issue gains detection that would catch recurrence.
Technology
Delivery approach
How the work proceeds.
Threat model
Scoped analysis with assets, actors and trust boundaries.
Review
Architecture and code examined; findings reproduced and rated.
Remediation
Fixes in code with regression tests and monitoring rules.
Verification and readiness
Release checklist, runbook and incident rehearsal.
Relevant case study
Identity under adversarial review.

We perform rigorous independent-style reviews. Where formal certification is required, we prepare the estate and work alongside partner audit firms.
Yes — review and recovery of live estates is a standard engagement, ending in fixed code rather than just findings.
Threat model, rated findings with fixes and regression tests, a hardened release checklist, monitoring rules and an incident runbook.
