Frequently Asked Questions
What does NoSec Cybersecurity Consulting actually deliver?
NoSec helps organizations reduce IT and cybersecurity complexity by identifying which security controls, tools, and architectural decisions actually reduce risk — and which ones don’t. The primary deliverable is a NoSec Stack Review + Threat Alignment Report, which includes risk-based recommendations you can justify to executives and stakeholders.
This may include:
- Threat modeling tailored to your business context
- Analysis of your current IT + security stack
- Identification of redundancy and unnecessary complexity
- Practical recommendations for improvement
(Unlike traditional vendors, we focus on risk-impact rather than compliance checkboxes.)
Who should engage NoSec services?
NoSec works best with:
- Technical founders, CTOs, and engineering leadership
- Startups and SMBs under pressure to streamline costs
- Organizations questioning whether existing security tools actually help
- Teams seeking clarity before scaling or redesigning their stack
We are not a managed security service provider or a vendor reseller — we help you make better security decisions.
How do I get started with NoSec?
There is no automated signup or self-serve portal.
To begin, simply contact us with details about your organization and goals. We’ll schedule a conversation to understand your needs and scope the engagement. Once we agree on the scope and deliverables, we issue an engagement plan so you know what to expect from start to finish.
What happens during an engagement?
A typical engagement includes:
- Discovery & Information Gathering – Understand your current environment, goals, and priorities
- Threat Alignment & Stack Analysis – Compare your controls and architecture against real-world risk models
- Report & Recommendations – A clear set of actions with business-visible rationale
- Optional Support – If agreed, we can help with implementation or integration planning
At every step, we document our decisions so your team and leadership can understand the why behind each recommendation.
Do you perform traditional security services (e.g., penetration testing)?
Yes — but only as contextual inputs to the risk and decision model, not as ends in themselves. For example:
- Code review and application analysis
- Vulnerability assessment
- Risk analysis
- Threat modeling
These activities inform our recommendations, but we treat them as inputs to decision-making, not isolated checkboxes.
Do you help with Web2, Web3, and emerging architectures?
Yes. NoSec consultants are experienced across:
- Traditional IT and cloud environments
- Decentralized tech (blockchain, on-chain data)
- AI and ML risk considerations
- Zero Trust and modern architecture models
We do not sell Web3 products — we help businesses decide when and how emerging technology fits their risk profile.
How do you measure value or success?
Success for NoSec engagements is defined by:
- Reduced unnecessary controls and complexity
- Clear risk-justified recommendations
- Lower operational overhead without increasing exposure
- Enhanced internal alignment on cyber decisions
We do not claim to eliminate risk — every system has residual risk — but we reduce avoidable risk and waste in your environment.
Is this about frameworks or compliance checkboxes?
Not primarily. NoSec is about risk and impact, not compliance theater.
While we understand and can support compliance frameworks (e.g., ISO, SOC 2, NIST), our priority is alignment to real risk rather than passing audits alone.
What kind of reports or documentation will I receive?
Every engagement results in:
- A Stack Review Summary
- A Threat Alignment Report
- A Keep / Remove / Rework Decision Matrix
- A Roadmap recommendation tailored to your needs
Each deliverable contains explanations that you can share with technical and executive stakeholders alike.
How are engagements priced?
Pricing depends on scope, business size, and complexity of the environment. Because we custom-scope each engagement, we share pricing after an initial discovery conversation that clarifies your goals.
Why these FAQs matter
Current users of your FAQ page see ambiguous technical content about Web3 vs Web4 and a list of security documents without context or business relevance.
The rewritten version:
- Focuses on buyer questions
- Uses business language instead of Web3 jargon
- Sets clear expectations
- Helps reduce buyer risk perception
