Enterprise security forgot about startups.
Secure Sleuths exists to fix that. We are operators, not marketers. The same people who build the platforms do the work, scope the engagements, and sign the reports. Bootstrapped since 2024. Official Wazuh Ambassador for India.
Too small to get breached is a myth.
"I kept having the same conversation. Different CTO. Different startup. Different city. Same sentence. I get it, we need monitoring, but I cannot justify the cost to my board when we barely have budget for the infrastructure itself."
"That sentence is why Secure Sleuths exists. Not because I thought AI was cool and wanted to build something. Because I sat through that call a dozen times and thought the same thing every time. You are not too small to get breached. You are too small to afford the old way of preventing it. So I built a different way."
Four principles. We hold to them.
Not a values page for the wall. These are the rules we actually run engagements by.
Receipts over rhetoric
If we cannot show a log line, we did not see it. Every claim in our reports is sourced. It is the whole company in one sentence.
Tuning is the job
A good SIEM out of the box is a myth. The value is in weeks three to six, when the noise drops and the signal stays. That is where we earn the retainer.
Open by default
Our stack is open source. Your data stays yours, self-hosted on your box. When you leave, the keys come with you. No lock-in, no telemetry home.
No pager theatre
If we wake you up, it matters. If it does not matter, we handle it and tell you on Friday. Your sleep is a metric we watch.
