Adversarial Risk Group Apply as Founding Client

We travel to your facility. We find what gets through. Then we keep finding it — automatically — until we come back.

Physical audits. Continuous AI-driven simulation. The threat doesn't stop — your security program shouldn't either.

The Problem With How Security Is Done

Most security engagements are point-in-time. A firm arrives, runs tests, writes a report, and leaves. The client files the report and waits for next year. In the meantime, people are hired, vendors change, processes shift, and the attack surface evolves. The report doesn't.

Phishing simulations run quarterly if you're disciplined. Physical assessments happen annually if you're well-funded. The attacks happen every day.

The deeper problem: the tools used to defend an organization are almost entirely aimed at the organization itself — its infrastructure, its perimeter, its policies. But breaches don't happen to organizations. They happen to people. The same employee who clicks a malicious link is the same employee who holds the door for an unknown visitor. Treating those as separate problems is how organizations stay vulnerable.

What We Do

Phase 1

On-Site Audit

We travel to your facility. We observe operations. We walk the floor. We test physical access controls, assess the human surfaces that no remote tool can see, and conduct initial adversarial simulation across every relevant vector — physical access, social engineering, phishing, and vishing.

We establish a documented baseline: what's exposed, why it matters, and what fixing it would require. This is not a checklist exercise. It is an adversarial assessment conducted by someone who understands both the physical environment and the automated attack infrastructure that increasingly powers real-world threats.

Phase 2

Continuous Automated Simulation

Following the initial audit, we deploy an AI-driven simulation layer that runs continuously between engagements. Automated OSINT. Adaptive spear phishing. Vishing simulation using current attack techniques. Social engineering tests that iterate based on what actually gets through — to which people, in which departments, at what cadence.

The system doesn't run the same test twice. It learns what works against your specific organization and adapts accordingly. The result is a living picture of your human risk posture, updated continuously, not annually.

Phase 3

Annual Review Cycle

Reviews alternate between digital and physical. In digital review years, findings from the automated layer are compiled and presented — first internally among your team, then in a results overview directly with us. No travel. No ceremonies.

In physical audit years, we return on-site. Findings from the automated layer inform where we look. The physical audit recalibrates the simulation layer. The cycle compounds.

What Makes This Different

Physical and digital are one surface.

We do not separate them. The audit informs the simulation. The simulation informs the audit. They are one program.

Continuous, not episodic.

Point-in-time assessments tell you where you were. Continuous simulation tells you where you are. The automated layer runs every day between your physical engagements.

Adaptive, not scripted.

Most simulations run the same scenarios on a schedule. Ours iterate based on real outcomes. If a technique works, we escalate it. If a department is consistently vulnerable, we concentrate on it.

We are present.

We travel to you. You cannot audit the human element from a dashboard.

Who We Work With

Mid-market manufacturing and industrial organizations. Companies with physical facilities, distributed workforces, and environments where the human layer is the least protected surface.

If your security program consists of annual training and a perimeter firewall, you are defended against attacks from several years ago.

Operators, Not Consultants

The systems we audit are the systems we've operated.

Co-founder

David Ashby

Quality, safety, and compliance background at Quality Electrical Systems (QES) — a manufacturer of e-houses and PDC buildings for utility-scale electrical infrastructure. Top 3 creator on n8n.io. Builds the continuous automated simulation layer directly.

Co-founder

James Wall

Quality Engineer at Quality Electrical Systems. Background in IT infrastructure, hands-on networking implementation, and social engineering. Ex-Amazon, with supply chain experience. Operates across systems-of-systems.

Investor

Brady Parkin

Manufacturing operator. Fabricated and wired control panels for utility substation relay applications and industrial automation systems. Designed custom test equipment to UL 508A and NEC standards. Former foreman.

Two founders from the manufacturing floor. An investor from the same world. The firm is built by — and for — the operators it serves.

Founding Client Program

We are currently onboarding three founding clients.

What founding clients receive

  • Rates locked in for three years — below where new client pricing will land
  • Direct access throughout every engagement, not delegated to junior staff
  • Input into how the service develops as we scale
  • Recognition as a founding client organization (at your discretion)

What we ask in return

  • Honest feedback throughout the engagement
  • Reference-ability once results are established
  • Case study rights (scope agreed in advance)

We are specifically looking for manufacturing and industrial organizations ready to find out what actually gets through — not just what their training completion rates say.
