01
Built, not bolted on
We start with architecture, not a shopping list. Identity, devices, network, and cloud are designed first — so every tool we provision integrates into one system instead of piling up as shelfware.
Accepting new engagements
Security built from the ground up.
StateDrive designs, provisions, and runs modern security for startups, mid-size companies, and enterprises — zero-trust architecture across cloud, on-prem, and hybrid environments, with EDR, SIEM, and SOAR deployed, automated, and integrated as one system — and the AI you're adopting secured from day one. Fast for your people. Hostile to everyone else.
Trusted under government and private-sector contracts.

What we do
One team takes you from zero to operated — then proves it holds.
Architecture first, then the stack, then the running of it — and offensive testing plus GRC to keep everyone honest.

Who we serve
Sized to your stage. Held to one standard.
Startups
A complete security function without the headcount — built right the first time, sized to your stage.
- Ground-up program in weeks

- SOC 2 readiness from day one
Mid-size & enterprise
Order restored to tool sprawl: consolidated stack, integrated telemetry, and posture you can prove to the board.
- Stack consolidation and tuning
- Cloud + hybrid coverage
- 24/7 MDR with named engineers
Government
Public-sector delivery under contract — procurement-ready, documented, and aligned to federal frameworks.
- NIST / CMMC-aligned controls
- Audit-ready documentation
- Formal procurement experience
Why StateDrive
Security that makes the business faster.
02
Fast and secure
Zero trust done right removes friction: SSO everywhere, device trust instead of VPN queues, automated access reviews. Your team moves faster after we're done, not slower.
03
Government-grade discipline
The same rigor our public-sector contracts demand — documented architectures, auditable controls, NIST-aligned practices — applied to every engagement, public or private.
04
Validated by offense
We pentest and scan what we build — and what others built before us. Networks, applications, and AI systems alike: 'secure' is a measurement here, not an assumption.
How we work
Assess. Architect. Provision. Operate.
- 01
Assess
Current state, threat model, and gap analysis — what you have, what's exposed, what matters first.
- 02
Architect
Zero-trust design, stack selection, and a build roadmap sized to your team and budget.
- 03
Provision
EDR, SIEM, and SOAR deployed and tuned. Identity, endpoints, and cloud integrated. Playbooks automated.
- 04
Operate
We monitor and respond 24/7 — or hand the keys to your team with runbooks, training, and support.
Engagements
Recent work.
Details anonymized — our clients' security posture is theirs to disclose, not ours.
[ Startup ]
A Series-A fintech went from zero to a full security program
They came to us with laptops, a cloud stack, and no security function. We architected zero-trust access, provisioned EDR across the fleet, stood up a SIEM with detections-as-code, and automated employee onboarding and offboarding.
What changed
Passed their first enterprise customer security review and closed the deal that depended on it — without hiring a security team.
[ Government ]
A state agency modernized its SOC under a competitive contract
Under a public-sector contract, we migrated a legacy log platform to a modern SIEM, built SOAR playbooks for the highest-volume alert classes, and trained the agency's analysts on the new stack.
What changed
Alert triage that used to queue overnight now resolves through automation, with humans handling judgment calls. Delivered on schedule, documented to public-sector audit standards.
[ Mid-size ]
A multi-site manufacturer rolled out zero trust without stopping production
Plant networks had to be segmented from IT without interrupting manufacturing. We rolled out identity-based access, microsegmentation, and EDR in maintenance windows — plant by plant.
What changed
Full zero-trust coverage across every site with no unplanned production stoppage. A ransomware event's blast radius went from 'the whole company' to 'one segment.'
Public + private
Built for both worlds.
Public sector
We hold and deliver on government contracts. Formal procurement, compliance documentation, NIST-aligned controls, and audit-ready reporting come standard — not as an upsell.
Private sector
Startups and mid-size companies get the same discipline without the bureaucracy: fixed scopes, fast provisioning, and a stack your own team can actually run.
Stack we deploy & manage
Vendor-agnostic by policy — platforms chosen for your environment and budget, not our reseller margin.

- SentinelOne
- Microsoft Defender
- Microsoft Sentinel

FAQ
Questions before you reach out.
01Who do you work with?
Startups and mid-size companies in the private sector, and public-sector agencies under contract. If you're big enough to have something to lose and small enough to want it done right the first time, we're built for you.
02What does “ground up” actually mean?
We start with architecture — identity, devices, network, cloud — then provision EDR, SIEM, and SOAR on that foundation, then integrate and automate everything into one system. No tool sprawl, no shelfware.
03Which platforms do you deploy?
We're vendor-agnostic. We deploy and tune leading EDR (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender), SIEM (Microsoft Sentinel, Splunk, Elastic), and SOAR (Tines, XSOAR, Shuffle) — chosen for your environment and budget, not our reseller margin.
04Will zero trust slow my team down?
Done right, it's the opposite: SSO, passwordless authentication, and device trust replace VPN queues and password resets. Security debt is what slows companies down — zero trust is how you remove it.
05How are engagements priced?
Fixed-fee scopes for assessments and builds, monthly retainers for 24/7 operations and monitoring. Government work runs through standard procurement and contract vehicles.
06Do you sign NDAs and handle procurement?
Yes. We have a standard mutual NDA or we'll sign yours, and we're comfortable with public-sector procurement, security questionnaires, and vendor onboarding.
07Do you cover cloud, on-prem, and hybrid?
All three, as one environment. Cloud-native startups get secure landing zones and CSPM; enterprises with datacenters get hybrid identity, segmentation, and telemetry that treats on-prem and cloud as a single system.
08Can you just do a pentest or a vulnerability scan?
Yes — Assure engagements stand alone. Senior-led pentests (external, internal, web/API, cloud) with a retest included, and continuous vulnerability management if you want exposure tracked instead of photographed once a year.
09What does GRC look like with you?
Practical, not paperwork theater: a real risk register, policies people follow, vendor risk handled, and evidence collected continuously — so SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, or CMMC-aligned audits become routine instead of a fire drill.
10Are you insured and registered for government work?
Yes — StateDrive carries errors & omissions and cyber liability insurance, holds an active SAM.gov registration, and is eligible as a small business under SBA size standards. Our internal program is aligned to NIST CSF 2.0, CMMC practices, and ISO/IEC 27001. Details and exact wording live on our trust page.
11Can you secure our AI adoption?
Yes — it's a first-class service, not a bolt-on. We design AI security architecture (data boundaries, model access control, guardrails), red-team LLM applications for prompt injection, jailbreaks, and data leakage, and put AI usage governance in place so your teams can use AI without leaking the company into it.
