Senior cybersecurity engineering, architecture, and advisory.

Demeon delivers senior-level cybersecurity engineering for organizations that need an experienced architect in the room — not a project manager with a checklist. Engagements are scoped, hands-on, and built to leave your team with something maintainable after handoff.

Strategic & Ongoing Engagements

  • Secure, scalable cybersecurity architectures that integrate identity, data protection, network security, and cloud security across enterprise environments. Engagements typically begin with an architecture assessment of your current state, followed by target-state design, prioritized remediation roadmap, and hands-on implementation of the highest-impact components.

    Capabilities include: IAM and SSO design (OIDC, SAML), Zero Trust architecture, network segmentation, DMZ redesign, DLP program design, endpoint protection strategy.

  • Secure cloud environments and CI/CD pipelines with automated security testing, compliance monitoring, and infrastructure-as-code hardening built in. Engagements range from landing zone design for new cloud deployments to remediation of existing environments with security debt.

    Capabilities include: AWS, Azure, and GCP security architecture, secure CI/CD pipeline engineering, container and Kubernetes security, secrets management, cloud IAM and least-privilege design, FedRAMP and FIPS alignment.

  • Align your cybersecurity program with the frameworks your business and regulators require, without producing compliance paperwork no one will read. Engagements focus on practical readiness — what controls exist, what's missing, what's worth fixing first, and how to demonstrate it to an auditor.

    Capabilities include: NIST CSF and 800-53 alignment, FedRAMP readiness, ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II preparation, risk register design, vendor risk management, executive risk reporting.

  • Executive-level security leadership for organizations that need strategic guidance but cannot justify a full-time CISO. Monthly retainer engagements typically include board and executive reporting, security strategy and roadmap ownership, vendor and tool selection, and incident response oversight.

    Best fit for: Mid-market organizations between 50 and 500 employees, federal subcontractors required to designate a security lead, or growing companies preparing for a security maturity milestone (first audit, first major customer, first acquisition).

Tactical & Short-Term Engagements

  • Short, intense engagements where a small group of senior practitioners is dropped into a specific problem and given a fixed window to solve it. Typically 2–6 weeks, with daily standups, a clear deliverable, and a defined handoff. Tiger Team work is the right fit when the clock is short, the problem is well-bounded, and your internal team needs senior expertise without a long procurement cycle.

    Best fit for: Pre-audit remediation, breach response and recovery, urgent architecture decisions, security debt reduction sprints, and acquisition-readiness assessments.

  • Most security tools look great in a vendor demo and very different in your environment. POC engagements stand up a representative test environment, evaluate one or more candidate tools against your real requirements, and deliver a decision-grade recommendation backed by hands-on findings rather than slideware.

    Best fit for: SIEM, DLP, EDR, IAM, vulnerability management, and cloud security platform selection. Also useful for evaluating architectural approaches (Zero Trust models, secrets management strategies, segmentation designs) before committing to a multi-year implementation.
