Approach

We have a flexible approach to working with our clients. Our client engagements typically fall under two models:

Security Project Support: We offer project support for your teams in order to address all aspects required for secure operation and content distribution.
Security as a Service: The content business is becoming increasingly complex. It can be challenging to internally maintain the skill set necessary to perform the wide range of tasks required to run a secure platform, and there may not be the budget available to support a suitably qualified team. Our Security as a Service provides you with the range of expertise you need when you need it.
