About Adversis

Security Expertise That
Empowers Technical Leaders


Adversis exists because technical leaders at high-growth companies need more than generic security consulting. You need specialized experts who've built enterprise offensive security programs, who translate technical risk into business language, and who work side-by-side with your team rather than delivering reports and disappearing.

That's exactly what we provide.

We're offensive security practitioners who bring Fortune 500 experience to mid-market and high-growth companies in manufacturing, technology, healthcare, and fintech. We find vulnerabilities before attackers do, accelerate compliance journeys, and translate security investments into measurable business outcomes.

Who We Are

Practitioner expertise, business pragmatism

Our team isn't made up of career consultants who've never logged into a production system. We're offensive security practitioners with experience building and operating red team programs at Fortune 500 companies. We've breached complex enterprise environments, designed security architectures for critical infrastructure, and built detection capabilities that actually work in production.

This cumulative experience informs every engagement. When we assess your application security, we use the same tactics that real threat actors employ. When we advise on your security program, we draw from building these programs in demanding, high-stakes environments. When we prioritize findings, we understand both technical exploitability and business impact.

We're based in Montana but serve clients across North America through remote and onsite engagements.

What Makes Us Different
Your strategic security ally, not another vendor

We know you've worked with security consultants before. Many deliver technically competent reports that sit unused because they don't account for your business realities—limited budgets, competing priorities, operational constraints. That's not us.

We translate security into business language
Every finding, recommendation, and roadmap we deliver expresses risk in terms of dollars and probabilities. Your CFO understands our reports as well as your security team does. We prioritize remediation by both exploitability and business impact, so you can make confident investment decisions.

We integrate with your team
Whether embedded as fractional CISO, executing a penetration test, or tackling a complex project, we work side-by-side with your team. We're responsive, available, and invested in your success. Think of us as the specialized security expertise you need, available exactly when you need it.

We operate transparently
Fixed pricing for standard engagements. Free retesting of critical findings. Plain-English reporting with executive summaries and technical details. No surprises, no jargon dumps, no disappearing after delivery. We measure success by your improved security posture, not by billable hours.

We solve problems, not schedule meetings
Our consulting model is simple: understand your specific challenges, deliver pragmatic solutions that account for your constraints, and execute with minimal overhead. You'll spend more time improving security and less time managing consultants.

We give back
We're standing on the shoulders of giants and are proud to have created the industry-standard Red Team Maturity model framework used by Fortune 200 companies, regularly publishing widely-referenced security research and tools, and maintain an outstanding NPS score with 100% client satisfaction.

Our Box.com misconfiguration research was covered by TechCrunch, exposing data leaks at 90+ companies including Apple and Discovery, leading to platform-wide security improvements. We publish numerous tools and resources for decision makers, leaders, and operators.

Who We Serve

Built for technical leaders at high-tech companies

We work with technical managers, CPOs, CTOs, VPs of Engineering, CISOs, and security-conscious founders at mid-market and high-growth companies -typically 50 to 1,000 employees with complex technical environments and limited security resources.

Our clients share common challenges

  • They're building security programs from scratch or scaling existing ones
  • Navigating compliance requirements (SOC 2, CIS, AIUC, CMMC) without dedicated teams
  • Needing offensive security expertise to validate defenses
  • Balancing security investments with growth objectives
  • Communicating security posture to boards, customers, and investors

We're particularly effective with

  • High-tech manufacturers securing complex applications, APIs, and cloud infrastructure
  • High-tech manufacturers navigating regulatory mandates and supply chain security
  • FinTech companies balancing innovation velocity with regulatory requirements

If you're a technical leader who values expertise over sales pitches, transparency over mystique, and pragmatic solutions over theoretical perfection—we should talk.

Our Approach is Grounded In Reality

We think hostile. We help build unbreakable.

This is our philosophy - approach every security challenge from an adversarial mindset, then build defenses that withstand real-world attacks.

We're proactive, not reactive
Security shouldn't be about responding to incidents, but about preventing them. We help you find and address vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them, identify gaps before auditors find them, and build resilience before crises test it.

We're practical, not perfect
Perfect security doesn't exist, and pursuing it wastes resources. We help you make risk-informed decisions that balance security investment with business objectives. Sometimes the pragmatic answer is accepting calculated risk. We're honest about these tradeoffs.

We're educators, not gatekeepers
Great security requires the entire organization, not just the security team. We explain technical concepts in accessible language, train teams on secure practices, and transfer knowledge so you're more capable after every engagement.

We're partners, not vendors
Your success is our success. We're invested in your long-term security posture, not just completing the current project. Many clients engage us repeatedly over years because we deliver consistent value and become trusted advisors they can rely on.

Let's discuss your security challenges

Whether you're building a security program from scratch, preparing for a compliance audit, or need expert validation of your defenses—we're here to help.

Schedule a consultation to discuss your specific challenges. No obligation - just a conversation about how we might help you strengthen your security posture while enabling your business objectives.
