Results backed by evidence, not assumptions

Our clients include public media organizations, managed security providers, and mission-driven teams who need their security validated — not just documented.

"Rafael worked with us on a purple team engagement to validate our detections and test whether our response SLAs held up against realistic attack scenarios. The engagement clearly showed where detections and processes worked as expected and where gaps existed, backed by concrete evidence rather than assumptions. It helped us prioritize improvements that directly strengthened our SOC operations and detection quality."
Rahman Shah — Director of Cybersecurity, PBS
"Rafael brings purple team expertise and SOC operational excellence. He has an ability to think like an adversary while strengthening defensive capabilities. His work at Secure Origin demonstrates deep technical knowledge, from threat emulation to detection engineering."
