Security woven in,
not bolted on.

Tartan Cyber brings enterprise-grade cybersecurity, AI, and web engineering to startups and growing businesses — the discipline of a Fortune 500 program, sized for a founder's budget and pace.

What we do

Three disciplines, one standard

Every engagement is built the way strong cloth is: each thread checked, the whole pattern deliberate.

Cybersecurity

Security programs & vCISO

A working security program — not a binder. Risk assessment, hardening, compliance readiness, and executive-level guidance that holds up in your next due-diligence review.

Cybersecurity →
AI

AI adopted safely

Move fast on AI without handing your data to the wind. Strategy, secure integration, and governance so your team gets the upside with eyes open to the risk.

AI consulting →
Web

Web, secure by default

Fast, modern sites and web apps with security headers, bot protection, and clean CI/CD from the first commit — because your website is your first security impression.

Web development →

The Tartan standard

Enterprise rigor, founder fluency

Evidence over checkboxes

We build controls you can demonstrate — to a customer's security questionnaire, an auditor, or an investor's diligence team — not paperwork that gathers dust.

Built for the audit you'll face

Startups don't fail security reviews at Series B because they were careless; they fail because nobody designed for that day. We do, from day one.

Plain-English reporting

Founders make the final call. Every finding comes with the business impact, the cost to fix, and a recommendation you can act on without a translator.

Ready to build on a stronger weave?

Tell us where you are — pre-seed, scaling, or somewhere in between — and we'll map the shortest path to a security posture your customers and investors will trust.
