Digital Maelstrom

Digital Maelstrom is the embedded IT operations and security function for growth-stage B2B SaaS companies between 10 and 300 employees.

Here's the situation we solve. Your CTO is spending 20% of their week answering security questionnaires and putting out infrastructure fires. A Fortune 500 deal is stalled in procurement, waiting on a SOC 2 report you don't have. Your cloud environment is running, but nobody is actively managing it. Endpoints are provisioned, but not hardened. Someone handed "achieve SOC 2 by Q3" to your VP of Engineering as an OKR, without headcount or budget clarity.

We fix all of it. And we run it.

Our engagements cover the full IT operations and security stack:

Cloud Management — managed cloud infrastructure across AWS, Azure, and GCP; cloud migrations; cloud-to-cloud transitions

Endpoint Management — managed endpoint protection for laptops, desktops, and mobile devices; XDR/EDR detection and response

Compliance Program Management — SOC 2 Type 2, NIST 800-171, PCI DSS 4.1, ISO 27001; you retain ownership of your compliance posture, we manage and implement the work

Virtual Executive Leadership — vCISO, vCTO, and vCloud Architect as project engagements or ongoing subscriptions

• Identity and Access Management — IAM architecture, SSO, and access control implementation
• Penetration Testing — network and web application pen tests, one-time or subscription

We show up in your Teams/slack. We answer auditor follow-up questions. We present to your board. Your engineers don't lose sprints to compliance work or infrastructure maintenance.

We've been doing this since 2006. CISSP and OSCP certified team members. 25 Under 25 Award winner. We know what the auditor is going to find before they find it, because we've been through this exact path with dozens of SaaS companies.

If you have a compliance trigger, an enterprise deal stuck on security review, a cloud environment nobody is actively managing, or a CTO who's become the de facto IT department: that's us.
