What Makes NoSec Different
Most cybersecurity services assume security is a permanent operational task.
NoSec operates on a different premise.
We believe cybersecurity should decrease as technology improves.
Security work often exists to compensate for architectural decisions that were never designed with risk in mind. By addressing those decisions directly, organizations can reduce complexity, cost, and long-term security burden.
NoSec is an engineering-led consultancy that helps organizations:
- Design systems that require less security over time
- Reduce reliance on compensating controls
- Make defensible, threat-aligned technology decisions
We do not sell security tools, and we do not benefit from keeping systems complex. Our incentives are aligned with clarity, reduction, and long-term improvement.
How NoSec Works
NoSec works upstream of traditional cybersecurity.
We focus on technology design, architecture, and decision-making to reduce the amount of security work required over time.
Our approach follows four principles:
1. Clarify Decisions
We start by understanding your system, threat environment, and assumptions — not by deploying tools.
2. Reduce Unnecessary Complexity
We identify security controls, architectures, and practices that add cost or effort without meaningfully reducing risk.
3. Fix Root Causes
When changes are needed, we focus on correcting the technology and design decisions that create ongoing security work.
4. Exit When Appropriate
Our goal is not to create dependency. Success means your systems require less security effort, not more.
Monitoring and operational security services are used selectively and intentionally — only when architectural correction alone is insufficient.
NoSec Architecture Decision Review
Cybersecurity by Subtraction
The NoSec Architecture Decision Review is a focused engagement designed to help organizations understand which security controls, tools, and architectural decisions actually reduce risk — and which ones do not.
Instead of adding more security, we start by clarifying decisions:
- What threats matter in your environment
- Which controls meaningfully change those threats
- Where complexity and overhead can be safely removed
What this includes
- Threat-aligned review of your architecture and security stack
- Identification of unnecessary or compensating controls
- Clear “keep, redesign, or remove” recommendations
- Executive-ready decision rationale you can share internally
Who it’s for
- CTOs and technical founders
- Security leaders under cost or complexity pressure
- Organizations planning platform changes or scale
- Teams questioning the return on security investment
What it’s not
- Not a penetration test
- Not a compliance audit
- Not a tool comparison
This review is designed to create clarity before change — and is the recommended starting point for working with NoSec.
