The practical approach

Defining reasonable security

Many security firms profit from complexity and fear. We take a different approach. We focus on reasonableness by prioritizing what a prudent business owner would do to prevent harm.

True security balances the mission, objectives, and obligations of your organization against the burden of safeguards. If a control costs more than the risk it mitigates, it isn't reasonable; it's waste.

  • Align security with business mission

  • Establish clear, documented standards

  • Reduce operational friction

  • Eliminate wasteful security spend

The reasonable security test

Burden
Cost, time, and efficiency loss of implementing a safeguard.
VS
Benefit

"Security should not cost more than the value it preserves."
