Who we are
A boutique security team for businesses that need clarity, not consultants.
We work with small businesses where one bad day can take operations offline. Our job is to find what’s exposed, fix what matters, and keep watch — in plain language.
How we operate
Operating principles
Six commitments that shape every engagement we take.
We earn trust by being boring.
No fear marketing, no urgency, no scaremongering. Good security work is steady and unglamorous — that’s the point.
Plain English is non-negotiable.
Every finding is written so a business owner or ops lead can act on it without a translator. If we can’t explain it plainly, we don’t understand it well enough.
We measure twice.
We always validate before we change configurations. Every irreversible change gets a peer review and a rollback path before it ships.
You own the work.
Every change we make comes with rollback steps, the reasoning behind it, and documentation your team can read after we’re gone.
We’re a team you can call.
Not a portal, not a chat bot, not a ticket queue. When you reach out, you get the same person who worked your last engagement.
We say no when we should.
If a piece of work isn’t the right thing to do or we aren’t the right team, we say so. Short engagement, honest answer.
The team
Local-first, remote-capable.
IoTGuardian is a small team of operators who’ve spent careers helping smaller organisations — clinics, shops, manufacturers, integrators — understand and harden their environments.
We’re based in the Charlotte, NC area, and most engagements run as a mix of on-site walk-downs and secure remote work. Team bios with photos and backgrounds are coming soon — ask us and we’ll send them in advance of a proposal.

We’d rather have a thirty-minute call about your environment than pitch you on a deck. Start with an assessment request and we’ll take it from there.
