Cybersecurity consultancy

Security programs that hold up under assessment, audit, and attack.

3 Tenets Security works across the full security lifecycle — vulnerability management, penetration testing, risk assessment, compliance, and AI governance — and uses Generative and Agentic AI to take the routine evidence work off your team's plate.

Request a consultation See what we do

The name is the method.

Every engagement is measured against the three properties information security exists to protect.

  1. Confidentiality

    Sensitive data reaches only the people authorized to see it — through encryption, access control, and rigorous data governance.

  2. Integrity

    Data and systems stay accurate, trustworthy, and unaltered by unauthorized hands at every stage of the lifecycle.

  3. Availability

    Critical systems stay reachable for your people and customers — resilient against disruption, downtime, and attack.

Services

Offense, defense, and the paperwork in between.

Engagements are scoped to your risk profile, industry, and compliance obligations — not pulled from a package list.

Discuss an engagement

Assess

01

Penetration Testing

LPT- and OSCP-led offensive testing of your networks, applications, and people to expose exploitable gaps before adversaries find them.

02

Vulnerability Management

Continuous discovery, prioritization, and remediation of weaknesses across your assets — turning scan noise into a clear, risk-ranked action plan.

03

Risk Assessment

Structured assessments that map threats to business impact, so security spending follows actual risk.

Govern

04

Policy, Compliance & AI Governance

Build, align, and audit against NIST CSF, NIST 800-53/RMF, FedRAMP, ISO 27001, SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS — plus AI governance programs aligned to the NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the EU AI Act. Policies your team will actually follow.

05

Security Advisory & vCISO

On-demand, CISSP- and CISM-level leadership to mature your program, govern emerging AI risk, brief your board, and steer long-term strategy.

Respond

06

Incident Response

Containment, eradication, and recovery when it matters most — plus readiness planning so your team responds with confidence, not chaos.

AI & Automation

Agents do the evidence work. Certified people make the calls.

We design, govern, and deploy Generative and Agentic AI that handles the routine, evidence-heavy side of security and compliance. Every workflow keeps a certified professional in the loop at each decision point.

  1. CollectConfigs, logs, access lists, tickets
  2. MapTo NIST 800-53, SOC 2, ISO 27001 controls
  3. DraftEvidence packages, narratives, POA&Ms
  4. ReviewA certified assessor approves
  5. DeliverAudit-ready, on schedule

Automated evidence collection

Agents pull configurations, logs, screenshots, access lists, and tickets from your cloud, identity, and ITSM platforms, map them to controls, and package audit-ready evidence on schedule.

Continuous authorization (cATO)

Move from point-in-time ATOs to ongoing authorization: continuous control monitoring feeds live risk dashboards, SSP updates, and ConMon reporting for FISMA, RMF, and FedRAMP programs.

Policy & control narratives

GenAI drafts and refreshes policies, procedures, and SSP control implementation statements, and crosswalks controls across frameworks — reviewed and approved by our assessors.

Gap analysis & audit readiness

Agents compare current state to framework requirements, flag gaps, draft remediation plans, and pre-answer auditor requests and customer security questionnaires.

POA&M & risk register automation

Triage scan results against asset criticality, open and track POA&M items, chase remediation owners, and draft risk-acceptance memos.

Governance for your own AI

Inventory the AI systems in use, assess model, data, and third-party risk, and put guardrails in place aligned to the NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001, and the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.

Also automated: user access reviews, vendor risk assessments, control testing, compliance reporting, and security alert triage.

Approach

How an engagement runs.

  1. Scope

    We start with your environment, obligations, and what worries you — then agree on boundaries, rules of engagement, and what “done” looks like.

  2. Assess & test

    Strategy, testing, and compliance work run under one roof, so findings from the offensive side feed straight into the governance side.

  3. Report

    Executive-ready summaries for leadership, technical detail for the people doing the fixing, and a prioritized plan both can agree on.

  4. Sustain

    Where it helps, we stay on — running the program, the automation, and the evidence cycle as a long-term partner.

Strong security is not a product you buy. It’s a discipline you practice.
