We serve clients across the United States, Europe, and Africa, with offices in Minnesota, London, Frankfurt, and Addis Ababa, working remotely and on site where it helps.
How do I get started?
The simplest way is to book a consultation. We will talk through your goals and recommend a sensible next step, whether or not we end up working together.
Services & delivery
How do you scope an engagement?
We start with a discovery conversation about your goals, systems, and constraints, then agree a written scope with objectives, deliverables, and assumptions.
How long does a typical project take?
It depends on complexity. A focused assessment can take weeks, while larger builds or migrations run in phases over several months. After discovery we share a phased timeline.
Can you work alongside our internal teams?
Yes. Many engagements combine our specialists with your staff, including embedded and dedicated-team models.
Do you provide support after launch?
Yes. We offer post-launch support and optional managed services with agreed service levels.
Pricing & engagement
How is pricing structured?
We offer fixed-scope pricing for well-defined projects, time-and-materials for evolving work, and monthly pricing for dedicated teams and managed services. We confirm the approach with you before work begins.
Can I get a proposal?
Yes. Share your brief and a specialist will prepare a written proposal covering approach, timeline, and commercial terms.
What engagement models do you offer?
Project-based delivery, advisory work, dedicated teams, and managed services. You can start with one and change as your needs evolve.
Security & privacy
How do you protect our data?
We apply least-privilege access, encryption, and secure development practices, and we agree how your data is handled before work begins.
Can we agree confidentiality terms?
Yes. We are happy to discuss confidentiality and data-handling terms before you share sensitive information.

We help align controls and evidence with the frameworks that matter to you. Formal certification is performed by accredited auditors.
