You shouldn’t have to work this hard. 

As a business owner, chances are you’re spending too much time:

Managing chaos
Working through bottlenecks
Being at work
Securing your data

Without automated systems in place, you’ll stay right where you are— chained to the business, grinding it out. There’s got to be a better way.

Clayton Hauk

Founding Partner
With a background forged in rapid business scaling and strategic sales leadership, Clayton brings a rare and valuable perspective to the world of cybersecurity. As Chief Operating Officer of a high-growth company, he led the implementation of critical software systems and business automations that fueled a tenfold increase in project volume—scaling from just 35 to nearly 400 projects annually.

As businesses scale, they often expose themselves to greater digital risk—expanding their attack surface, increasing compliance complexity, and becoming more attractive targets for cybercriminals. Motivated by the urgent need for smarter, more integrated solutions, Clayton transitioned into cybersecurity with a clear mission: to help businesses grow confidently, securely, and sustainably in an increasingly connected world. Combining his expertise in entrepreneurship, operations, and sales strategy, he now empowers organizations to not only protect what they've built—but to scale it safely and intelligently for the future.

Do you have peace of mind? 

Most business owners believe a standard cyber insurance policy is enough to safeguard their company's future.

Unfortunately, that policy won't protect you from the operational failures and system breakdowns that truly put your growth at risk. And worse, most insurances refuse to payout unless certain technical requirements are met.

We help you build the resilient, scalable systems that secure your business from the inside out.
