How we work
- Two-week sprints in your tools: your repos, your backlog, your CI/CD
- Security controls written as code alongside features
- Weekly demos and a joint steering meeting every two weeks
- Your engineers pair with ours throughout, so the knowledge stays in-house
Deliverables
- A production AI system that meets your security and compliance bar
- Soteria platform modules deployed and tuned (optional)
- Security sign-off report and red team results
- Runbooks, architecture documentation and training sessions
Everything we build during the engagement belongs to you.
