About

A senior practitioner,
not a staffing assignment.

CSec Consulting was founded by a cloud security engineer with over a decade of hands-on experience securing infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure environments.

When you engage CSec, you're working directly with a senior practitioner — not a project manager coordinating a team of juniors. Every assessment, every remediation plan, every compliance sprint is handled with the same care and precision.

CSec works with growth-stage companies, scale-ups, and enterprises that want real security improvements without the overhead of a big-four engagement or the cost of a full-time hire.

Canada-based. Working with clients everywhere.

Engagements built around outcomes,
not hourly billing.

Fixed scope. Clear deliverables. Pricing scoped to your engagement — the numbers below are starting points.

Assessment
Cloud Security Posture Review
A structured review of your cloud environment's identity, network, data handling, and logging posture — mapped to real risk, not a compliance checkbox list.
  • IAM configuration and privilege audit
  • Network exposure and segmentation review
  • Storage and data controls assessment
  • Prioritised remediation roadmap
  • Executive summary + technical findings report
From $5,000 USD · 2–4 weeks
Fractional
Fractional Cloud Security Lead
Embedded security leadership on a part-time basis. For companies that need a senior security voice in architecture decisions, vendor reviews, and incident response — without a full-time hire.
  • Weekly security reviews and advisory
  • Architecture and design consultation
  • Security policy and standards development
  • Vendor and tooling evaluation
  • Incident response support
From $4,500 USD / month
Compliance
Compliance Readiness Sprint
Time-boxed preparation for SOC 2, ISO 27001, or NIST CSF. Gap analysis, control mapping, and evidence collection guidance — ready for your auditor, not just your team's slides.
  • Framework gap analysis (SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / NIST)
  • Control mapping to your cloud environment
  • Evidence collection playbook
  • Policy templates and control narratives
  • Auditor-ready documentation package
From $6,000 USD · 4–8 weeks
Engineering
Secure Infrastructure Engineering
Build your cloud infrastructure the right way from the start — or re-engineer what's already there. Terraform and OpenTofu deployments written with security controls baked in: least-privilege IAM, network segmentation, encryption, and policy guardrails as code.
  • Terraform / OpenTofu module design and build
  • IAM roles, SCPs, and permission boundaries
  • Network architecture (VPCs, firewall rules, peering)
  • Policy-as-code guardrails (OPA / Sentinel / Checkov)
  • CI/CD pipeline security gates
  • Security automation and CSPM integration
From $6,500 USD · scope-dependent
Custom
Something Else in Mind?
Not every engagement fits a standard shape. If you have a specific challenge — a one-off architecture review, a security incident to unpack, a tool evaluation, or a team training session — get in touch and we'll scope something that fits.
  • Scoped to your specific need
  • Fixed price agreed before work begins
  • Same senior-practitioner delivery

Why CSec

Senior expertise. Firm-level quality.
No firm-level overhead.

01

You work with the senior person, not their delegate

Every engagement is led and delivered by the same practitioner — no handoffs, no bait-and-switch, no juniors running your assessment while the partner signs off.

02

Multi-cloud, production-grade experience

Real work inside AWS, GCP, and Azure at engineering depth — not just certifications. IAM architectures, network design, workload security, and compliance programs all built and shipped.

03

Fixed scope. No scope creep surprises.

Every engagement starts with a defined scope and a fixed price. If something material shifts, we discuss it — it doesn't just show up on the invoice.

04

Engineering depth — down to the Terraform level

Findings come with fixes, and fixes can be built. CSec can take a misconfigured environment and re-engineer it in Terraform or OpenTofu — policy-as-code guardrails included — so the problem doesn't come back.

05

Findings you can actually act on

Reports are written for the team doing the work, not for the compliance shelf. Prioritised, specific, and tied to the tooling you already have.

"A large firm will give you a junior analyst and a 200-page PDF. CSec gives you a senior practitioner and a remediation roadmap your team can ship."
AWS Security — IAM, GuardDuty, Security Hub, SCPs
GCP — Security Command Center, VPC SC, Workload Identity
Azure — Defender for Cloud, Entra ID, RBAC hardening
