GIAC & ISC² Certified
Principal-level execution across cloud, endpoint & incident response.
Focused strictly on high-leverage security design, vendor transition leadership, and governance—empowering your internal IT operations rather than replacing them with an expensive managed service contract.
Blueprint resilient, zero-trust cloud identity and modern endpoint architectures tailored for hybrid and remote workforces—eliminating legacy domain dependencies and shadow IT exposure.
De-risked separation from outgoing MSPs or legacy IT providers. We audit tenant ownership, reclaim administrative control, eliminate vendor lock-in, and hand off clean documentation to your internal team.
Translate complex regulatory, cyber insurance, and enterprise customer security questionnaires into pragmatic technical controls—without slowing down engineering velocity.
Senior architectural oversight on a predictable retainer. We mentor your internal Tier 1/2 IT staff, review major infrastructure changes, and provide seasoned escalation support for high-severity technical issues.
Hiring a single full-time Security Architect costs $225k–$300k+ loaded—and senior architects rarely stay in roles dominated by daily password resets. Conversely, a solo junior/mid-level IT generalist leaves your organization exposed on architecture, vendor transitions, and compliance audits.
Immediate B2B onboarding to lead your offboarding from legacy vendors, establish clean cloud and endpoint baselines, and prepare operational playbooks before handing daily administration to an internal hire.
Rapid B2B Deployment: Start in days rather than losing 4–6 months to an executive recruiting cycle.
Zero-Disruption Cutover: Full administrative control reclaimed across identity, MDM, endpoint, and DNS/cloud assets.
Internal Hiring Readiness: Role scoping and technical vetting support so you hire the right Tier 1/2 administrator.
Pair your full-time junior or mid-level IT hire with predictable, senior-level architectural oversight—delivering complete operational and compliance coverage at roughly half the cost of a single senior W-2 executive.
Predictable Monthly OpEx: Fixed monthly retainer with clear boundaries—no open-ended consulting burn.
Force Multiplier for Internal IT: Your internal admin owns daily tickets while Kemen Security guides architecture and compliance.
Sev3 Escalation Safety Net: Direct principal escalation when complex security or infrastructure incidents arise.
