E-5 Technologies is a cybersecurity, AI, and modern IT services firm. We find the gaps before adversaries do, build the systems that close them, and stay alongside your team to keep the line steady — whether the threat is a ransomware crew, a regulator, or an LLM behaving badly.
Our work spans offensive and defensive security, AI engineering and AI security, regulatory compliance, modern identity and endpoint operations, custom application development, and senior-level advisory. Every engagement runs against the same standard of rigor.
Adversary simulation, continuous detection, and rapid response across your full attack surface.
View practice →Red-teaming, hardening, and custom development for the AI systems your business now depends on.
View practice →Frameworks, audits, and policy designed to actually hold up — not just pass an assessor's checklist.
View practice →Web and mobile applications, identity infrastructure, and endpoint management built securely from day one.
View practice →Honest program assessments and the cyber diligence that informs major business decisions.
View practice →Continuous monitoring and senior security leadership embedded with your team — for as long as you need it.
View practice →We find the gaps the way attackers find them — through goal-driven testing, deep visibility, and a healthy skepticism of every dashboard. When something does get through, we contain it fast and tell you exactly what happened.
Goal-driven adversary simulation against your applications, infrastructure, cloud, and people. Findings come with exploit chains, business impact, and the fix.
Continuous discovery across your external and internal attack surface, prioritized by exploitability and the assets that actually matter.
24/7 detection, triage, and active containment — staffed by analysts who explain their decisions, not just close tickets.
Rapid containment, root-cause analysis, and evidence preservation when something breaches the perimeter — with regulatory and legal coordination as needed.
Behavioral defense on every endpoint, tuned to your environment so the alerts you get are the ones worth acting on.
Native hardening of your Microsoft estate — Entra ID, Microsoft 365, and Defender for Endpoint — implemented by people who use it daily.
Proactive pursuit of attackers already inside your environment, before any alert fires. Hypothesis-driven, repeatable, documented.
Authentication, authorization, and business-logic testing for the surface most teams overlook — and most attackers don't.
Your business now depends on systems that generate, decide, and act. We help you adopt AI safely — securing the models you deploy, building the ones you need, and stress-testing both against the kinds of attacks security teams haven't seen before.
Stress-testing your models against jailbreaks, prompt injection, data poisoning, and evasion — with structured findings your engineers can fix.
Architecture review and hardening of production AI systems — input handling, output filtering, isolation, observability, and abuse controls.
Custom machine learning for anomaly detection, alert triage, and signal extraction inside your existing security stack.
End-to-end model engineering — from data curation and fine-tuning to evaluation, deployment, and continuous monitoring in production.
Security review for systems that take actions on their own — tool use, memory, multi-agent orchestration, and the new failure modes they introduce.
Provenance, licensing, and risk auditing for the foundation models, datasets, and third-party components your stack depends on.
Governance frameworks and internal policy aligned to your industry, your risk profile, and the regulations actually coming.
Compute architecture, data pipelines, and platform engineering for teams running serious model work — without the avoidable tax.
Compliance is the floor, not the ceiling — but missing the floor still costs you the deal. We get you certified without writing fiction, and we leave you with a program that actually reflects how your team works.
CMMC, GDPR, CCPA, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and SOC 2 — gap analysis, remediation, and audit support across the frameworks that gate your contracts.
Formal risk identification, quantification, and treatment plans — written so executives can make decisions, not just file them.
Continuous oversight of the vendors who can hurt you most — onboarding diligence, ongoing monitoring, and a real off-ramp when needed.
Practical, enforceable policy written for the way your team actually works — not template language no one reads or follows.
End-to-end guidance from initial gap assessment through certification — and the operating cadence to keep it after.
Software and identity infrastructure built secure by construction, not patched on the way out the door. The same engineers who ship our applications also break them on purpose — and that changes how the work gets built.
Production software built securely from day one — modern stacks, threat modeling at design time, and engineers who understand attacker tradecraft.
Native and cross-platform applications for iOS and Android, with mobile-specific security baked into the architecture rather than bolted on.
Modern identity architecture — SSO, MFA, conditional access, role design, and the lifecycle automation that prevents access drift.
Centralized management for the entire fleet — deployment, configuration, patching, and the policy enforcement that survives audit.
Senior-level work for the moments that matter most — assessing where your security program actually stands, and telling you the truth about technology risk inside a deal you're about to sign.
An honest evaluation of your security program against frameworks that fit your size and sector — paired with a roadmap your team can actually execute.
Pre-close cyber and technology diligence that informs deal terms — surfacing the liabilities, technical debt, and integration costs before they become yours.
For organizations that need senior security capability without the senior security headcount. We sit alongside your team, run what needs to run, and report up the way your board needs to hear it.
Continuous monitoring with rapid escalation and human review — not just a SIEM forwarding alerts to your inbox at 3 a.m.
Senior security leadership on a fractional basis — strategy, board reporting, vendor selection, and incident command — embedded with your team.
Every engagement runs through the same four phases — clear scope on the way in, named senior leads throughout, honest reporting on the way out, and continuity if you want it.
Threat-model your environment, understand the business behind the systems, and write down what success looks like before any work begins.
Run the engagement with daily or weekly check-ins, depending on cadence — and a single named lead who owns your relationship and your outcomes.
Findings come with severity, business impact, and a remediation path. We work the fix alongside your team — we don't ship a PDF and disappear.
Retest, monitor, advise, or stand up a managed service. Whatever keeps the program healthy after the engagement closes.
We do this work because we've seen what happens when it isn't done well. Reputation, payroll, patient safety, intellectual property — all of it can disappear in a quiet weekend if no one was watching.
The person on your engagement is the person doing the work. No hand-offs to a junior team after the proposal is signed.
Reports your engineers can act on and your board can read. Jargon when it's required, never when it's optional.
The chevron and the name are quiet nods to the founder's U.S. Navy service. The same standard of care shows up in the work.
Most engagements start with a 30-minute conversation. We listen first, scope the work to fit, and put together a clear plan to move forward — together.
