Pricing v2026.08

Published prices.
No discovery call required.

This market quotes by request. That's not how it works here. Below are the numbers, the scope caps, the response windows, and the things that aren't for sale at any price — all before you talk to anybody.

Standing constraint

2 retainers

Two clients at a time, one onboarding per quarter. Not a marketing device — it is the hour budget with the overhead counted. Ask what's open.

Start here · no contact required

Read the work before you buy any of it.

Nothing on this screen needs an email address, a call, or a signature.

BASELINE

The self-hosted stack, one component per repository, publishing as each clears review. Monitoring, detection, identity, perimeter — Apache-2.0, no email wall.

Weekly dispatch

COURIER

What broke this week, what it means for a stack like yours, and what to actually do about it. No fear-mongering, no vendor press releases. Not running yet — issue one has not gone out.

Two ways in

Start with a fixed fee, not a commitment.

Problems arrive as events, not subscriptions. Both of these are flat-fee, both credit toward a retainer if you want one after, and neither requires you to decide anything today.

  • Fixed fee · two weeks

    TAKEOVER SPRINT

    Two weeks on one environment you inherited. At the end you know what's in there, it's patched, it's watched, and it's written down.

    The fastest way in. No monthly commitment, and it credits toward one

    • Full aegis and a written map of the environment

    • A fixed fee agreed before it starts, and never adjusted after
  • Fixed-scope engagement

    RECON

    The full estate mapped, not just one box. Every retainer starts here or with a sprint — the alternative is guessing at your network and charging you for the guess.

    Bigger than one environment. A sprint maps one environment; this maps the whole estate and comes back with a plan and a deployment shape. Nobody gets a monthly commitment without one of these two first, because the alternative is guessing at your network and charging you for the guess.

    What you receive
    • Full aegis of the infrastructure and configs, documented
    • A written architecture map with a diagram, in your repo
    • Every gap ranked by what would actually hurt, with hours attached
    • The stuff you inherited and nobody understands — explained
    • A deployment plan: your metal, your cloud, or a mix
    • A 30-day channel afterward for the questions the report creates
Monthly

Four ways to work together.

Whoever you meet on the call is who does the work, at every tier. The difference is how much of your infrastructure we touch — and one of these tiers touches none of it.

    • SILENT UPGRADE — the tested monthly patch train
    • Detection deployed and tuned until the alerts mean something
    • Triage acknowledged within 4 business hours, 09:00–18:00 ET, Mon–Fri

    An agency holding other people's infrastructure. $750 per environment — resells at a normal care-plan markup

    What's included
    • Everything in OUTPOST, across up to 6 client environments
    • NIGHTWATCH — detection across the fleet, so you hear it before your client does
    • One patch train covering every environment, not five separate scrambles
    • Findings written so you can forward them to a client unedited
    • Answers for the security questions your clients ask you
    • 8 directed hours a month · bi-weekly working session
  • STRONGHOLD

    $7,500

    Everything in ENCLAVE, plus the build pipeline and the weird stuff — air-gapped segments, plant networks, and the environments nobody else will touch.

    Term
    Monthly · 6-month minimum
    Scope cap
    12 environments · 120 hosts · +$650/environment

    A real fleet, or environments that get strange

    What's included
    • Everything in ENCLAVE at double the environment and host cap
    • Signed builds, SBOM, secrets scanning, and policy gates in your pipeline
    • Network segmentation for air-gapped or industrial environments
    • Architecture documentation your clients can be shown directly
    • Framework mapping if a client demands one — capability, not identity
    • 14 directed hours a month · in your channel daily
  • PAPER TRAIL

    $24,000

    The full written record — architecture, controls, evidence, and the answers to whatever questionnaire is blocking your deal. Authored once, against the stack that's actually running.

    Term
    90 days
    Scope cap
    Add-on to any retainer

    A deal or renewal blocked on paperwork nobody has written

    What's included
    • Architecture and control documentation across the whole estate
    • Evidence mapping — the artifact for every claim, dated and hashed
    • The answer library for client and insurer questionnaires
    • Framework mapping on request, if a customer is demanding one

ENCLAVE is $4,500 a month. One full-time security engineer with this scope costs a multiple of that over a year, takes months to hire in a market short of them, and takes the runbooks with them when they leave. When you do hire someone, they inherit a documented stack in your own repository instead of onboarding onto nothing.

Not sold at any price

The four things money can't buy here.

Stated here rather than discovered on a call.

  • Round-the-clock human coverage. Detection runs continuously; we don't. We can't honour a 3am promise, and you'd find out at the worst possible moment.
  • Certification or audit sign-off. We'll help you meet a framework; we'll never be the ones attesting that you did. Nobody who implements a control gets to certify it, and that includes us.
  • More than 12 environments or 120 hosts. Past that it gets referred out to someone with a bench.
  • A report followed by silence. That is the thing we exist to be the opposite of.
The fine print

Everything a procurement review would ask for.

13 clauses in 5 groups, published in full before anyone asks. This is the shape of them — the record itself has its own page.

The recordRead all 13 clausesStamped Pricing v2026.08
01Commitment4
How an engagement starts, what the first ninety days look like, and how you leave. Nothing here locks you in, because a practice with no track record hasn't earned the right to.
02Money3
What you pay, how you pay it, and the only circumstances under which the number moves. Every rate on this page is stamped and changelogged.
03Beyond the retainer2
Work that sits outside the monthly fee, priced in the open. Nothing here is ever auto-billed — it takes your written approval first, every time.
04Accountability2
What it costs us when we miss, and the hard cap that stops us overselling the hours we have. A response window with no remedy attached is just a marketing number.
05Ownership2
What is yours during the engagement and what stays yours after it. Leaving is supposed to be easy — that is the entire point of owning your own stack.
The open door

Apache-2.0, complete for one host, and the audit tool runs on your machine and reports to you. Nothing is sent anywhere. If it tells you something useful, you know where to find us.
