Secure byDesign.

Security baked into the product — not bolted on after a breach. Dashboards, auth, access control, and design systems built for SOC-grade reality.

01Who it's for

If security is an afterthought.

Most teams call me after a close call or a compliance deadline they suddenly can't ignore.

Our pen test report came back ugly and we need to ship fixes fast.

Our SOC analysts are drowning in alerts because the dashboard is unreadable.

We're chasing SOC 2 and half our UI ignores access control.

We need security features in-product but they can't slow users down.

02What you get

Security, made usable.

01

SOC & Threat Dashboards

Interfaces tuned for analysts working under pressure. 5-level severity systems, live alert queues, and component libraries that make triage fast.

02

Auth + Access Control

Secure login flows, MFA, session handling, and role-based access — built so they don't feel like obstacles to legitimate users.

03

Compliance-Ready UX

Consent flows, audit trails, data export, and deletion UIs that check the SOC 2 / GDPR / HIPAA boxes without breaking the product.

04

Sentinel DS

An enterprise cybersecurity design system — tokens, components, and documentation purpose-built for security interfaces. Published as open source.

03The Process

Model the threat, build the defence.

I.

Threat Model

What are we defending, against whom, and how much friction are we allowed to add?

  • Asset inventory
  • Attacker personas
  • Abuse + misuse cases
  • Risk register
II.

Design

Security features designed alongside the product — not after. Friction where it matters, frictionless everywhere else.

  • Auth + session design
  • Role-based UI states
  • Alerting + incident flows
  • Consent + audit surfaces
III.

Build

Production-grade implementation — secure by default, with observability baked in.

  • OWASP-aware frontend
  • Hardened backend
  • Audit logging
  • Pen-test preparation
IV.

Verify

Handoff to pen testers, walkthrough with auditors, and a remediation plan for findings.

  • Pen-test coordination
  • Audit-ready docs
  • Remediation plan
  • Security design system

Security that
doesn't get in the way.
