For Software Companies
Security architecture that won'tblock your next enterprise deal.
I help software companies identify architecture-level security risks before they show up in audits or force expensive redesigns. Based on experience at Auth0, Okta, and Snowflake.
You're probably here because
- Your deal is stuck in a security review
- You can't answer enterprise security questions
- Your architecture grew without a clear security model
The Problem
Security architecture issues surface earlier than teams expect
Cloud platforms, APIs, distributed systems, and AI features create security risks that often show up too late - during audits, customer reviews, or penetration tests.
Many of these problems start earlier in the architecture: authorization models, trust boundaries, service-to-service communication, tenant isolation, and integration patterns that create systemic risk before code-level testing begins.
Reviewing these decisions earlier helps teams reduce risk, avoid expensive redesigns, and move into scale, audits, and enterprise deals with fewer security surprises.

Sound Familiar?
When companies typically reach out
This is usually the point where standard testing or compliance work is no longer enough, and architecture-level security decisions need attention.
- Enterprise customers are asking security questions you can't fully answer yet
- You're scaling your platform and security gaps are becoming harder to ignore
- You're shipping AI features and aren't sure what new risks they introduce
- An audit or compliance review is coming and you want to fix gaps before they're found
- A penetration test revealed deeper architectural issues you weren't expecting
- Security is becoming a blocker and you want to address it earlier in the development cycle
Process

Security assessment
Technical analysis of architecture and security controls.
Architecture recommendations
Prioritized improvements with practical remediation.
Typical situations
When architecture review becomes necessary
SaaS platform entering enterprise sales
Situation
Enterprise deals kept stalling on security questionnaires the team couldn't confidently answer. The platform had scaled fast with no architecture-level security review since the early days.
What we reviewed
API authorization model, service-to-service trust boundaries, tenant isolation, and credential flows.
What the client got
A prioritized map of architectural weak points, helping the team close the critical gaps before the next enterprise review.
AI product entering a regulated environment
Situation
LLM features were being added to a platform serving regulated clients. Strong ML team, but no one had mapped the AI-specific trust boundaries or data exposure risks.
What we reviewed
Prompt and response data flows, model access control, abuse scenarios, and adversarial input handling.
What the client got
An AI-specific threat model and architectural design changes focused on the highest-risk data flows.
Growth-stage SaaS hitting recurring review friction
Situation
Similar concerns kept surfacing in enterprise security reviews - around identity, access design, and how customer data was separated across the platform.
What we reviewed
Authentication flows, authorization boundaries, tenant isolation, and security assumptions behind key integrations.
What the client got
An architectural remediation plan focused on the issues most likely to slow enterprise onboarding.
