Security That Respects Your Velocity
Startups don’t fail security because they don’t care. They fail because the advice isn’t written for them. We’re fixing that — one story, one playbook, one principle at a time.
Designed for the People Doing the Work
Security isn’t for slide decks or checklists — it’s for the people building, shipping, and protecting real systems. We help you do it without breaking focus or momentum.
Built for Constraints
Security that fits small teams.
Security Lives in Code
Code, commits, CI - not decks.
Culture Before Controls
Habits first, tools second.
Resilience Over Rigor
Systems that bend, not break.
Iterative, Not Ideological
We test what works in the real world, not just in frameworks. Then we share it—warts and all—so you can borrow the good bits and skip the painful ones.
A Place for Hard-Earned Wisdom
Security is full of tough decisions and unclear answers. CNCISO is a chronicle of facing uncertainty head-on, sharing real stories so you can navigate your own path with more confidence and fewer regrets.
Lightweight Tools, Thoughtful Choices
Fewer moving parts. Saner defaults. Strong enough guardrails to keep you safe—light enough to stay out of the way.
