Security Reality BaselineYou can't defendwhat you can't see.

You've inherited a security stack you didn't build. In weeks, get an independent, evidence-based view of your security capabilities, deployment nuances, risks, and opportunities.

01/What It Is

A board-ready picture of your security stack reality.

Fixed cost, fixed time engagement that goes deeper, wider and faster than traditional consultancy, made possible by our platform.

We catalogue every tool providing security capability, asynchronously interview the people who actually run / use them, and deliver an expert-validated report of your real risks, overlaps and opportunities.

01

Catalogue

Every tool mapped to capability, so spend and coverage stop being invisible.

02

Interview

Operators, not policy docs: deployment nuance and tribal knowledge become evidence.

03

Deliver

A validated report of risks, overlaps and opportunities, ready for the boardroom.

02/The Method

Giving you a baseline to make defensible decisions.

We run the engagement in three phases. What capability does your whole organisation possess, what is true on the ground, and where are the risks and opportunities?

See · what you own

“What capability do you actually have?”

Tools bought by different teams over years. Overlapping, undocumented, no single picture.

Under the hood: Capability mapping across 27,000+ security products.

What you get
  • A single inventory of capability across the estate
  • Shelf-ware and duplicate coverage called out
  • Mapped to the frameworks you prefer
What we examine
  • Active controls and licenses across the estate
  • Capability coverage versus stated policy
  • Shelf-ware and duplicate tooling
03/How It Works

Designed to be low risk and low burden on your teams.

We run the engagement through our platform. You get a dedicated tenant in your region, and our agents interview the people who run and interact with your security stack. Access your tenant at any time to view progress and findings.

Low burden on your teams

Short, structured conversations that take minutes, not meetings. No workshops, no calendar blocks.

Stop and resume anytime

Asynchronous by default. People pause mid-interview and pick it back up when it suits them.

Adapts to every person

Conversations adjust to each person's role, what they know and what they raise.

Tribal Layer agents interviewing engineers, admins, architects, analysts, and owners across your organization to surface risks, insights, and opportunities

Our agents never have the last word. Every draft finding is audited, verified and filtered by our cybersecurity experts before it's reported, so only validated, high-fidelity risks make the final report.

How your data is handled

  • Dedicated isolated tenant
  • Data residency (your region)
  • AES-256 encryption
  • Customer-managed access + full audit logging
  • No model training on your data
04/What You Receive

What you walk away with

Three pillars in one validated report: risks, trapped value, and spend you can cut.

Deliverable Preview

Risk Identification

Concrete, prioritized risks tied to how your security stack is actually deployed and used, not how your dashboards describe it.

Captured Findings
Legacy DB EDR Exclusion
Critical

No EDR on core transaction databases due to OS kernel panic risk.

Muted SSH Alerting
High

SSH alerts from admin subnet muted by 3/4 analysts due to high noise.

05/Evidence & Next Steps

From kickoff to a baseline you can defend

A compact engagement. Clear inputs from you. Everything else is on us.

  1. 1

    Week 0

    Kickoff

    Sponsor aligned, technology list shared, interview access cleared.

  2. 2

    Weeks 1–3

    Discover & validate

    Catalogue the stack. Agents interview operators at scale.

  3. 3

    Weeks 4–5

    Expert verification

    Findings audited, filtered and ranked by cybersecurity experts.

  4. 4

    Week 6

    Board-ready baseline

    Risks, opportunities and consolidation insight delivered.

Three things from you

A single executive sponsor keeps the engagement moving. Everything else is on us.

Executive sponsor

A senior security lead who co-owns the function and clears internal blockers.

Technology list

Your active controls plus the contacts for the people who administer each system.

Sponsor endorsement

Your sponsor's explicit backing so stakeholders respond quickly during interviews.

After the assessment

The report is yours to keep. The tenant is the live version. It stays current as your stack and the threat move. Conclude and walk away with a snapshot: your dedicated tenant and encryption keys are destroyed. Or uplift to a subscription. The cost of the assessment is credited against the SaaS subscription.

Understand the reality before you change it.

Fixed cost. Fixed time. A baseline you can stand behind in the boardroom.
