About the firm · Milton, New Hampshire

The security counsel a fourteen-person firm can actually retain.

Enterprise-grade testing was built for enterprise budgets and enterprise IT departments. Kryptomend exists for everyone else — the practices, shops, and town offices running the region, held to the same standard without the enterprise price tag.

Why the firm exists

We kept meeting the same business the week after.

Kryptomend was started by defenders who spent years inside larger security shops, watching the same pattern repeat: the small businesses that most needed a real test were the ones nobody would quote under six figures. So they made do with a checkbox scan, and called us the week after the breach instead of the week before.

We built the firm to close that gap. The same disciplined methodology used on a hospital network, scoped and priced for a fourteen-person law office. A named consultant who signs your scope, runs your test, and stays reachable — not a call-centre queue.

We are deliberately small. We take the work we can do properly, in the order it comes in, and we do not chase headcount. That is a choice, and it is the whole point.

How we hold ourselves

Four commitments we put in writing.

Every engagement is governed by these before a single test is run. They are why clients keep us on standing recall.

  1. 01

    Findings over volume

    We do not measure a report by its page count. Each finding leads with plain-language impact, an exploitability rank, and a remediation step your own IT team can start on the same afternoon. If it doesn't move your risk, it doesn't go in.

  2. 02

    Confidentiality in writing

    A mutual NDA precedes every engagement. Credentials, test data, and findings are held under a documented retention and destruction policy, and destroyed on the schedule we agree — no exceptions, no quiet archives.

  3. 03

    Scoped, never scattershot

    We test what matters to your business and say so up front. You will never see an invoice for hours spent scanning systems that were never in the agreed scope. The boundaries are signed before we begin.

  4. 04

    Reachable when it counts

    Retainer clients reach a named responder directly — the same person who ran your test. When ransomware is spreading, a triage call inside the first hour changes the outcome, and we answer that call.

The shape of the practice

A small bench of people who have done this a long time.

The rule

One consultant, your whole engagement.

The lead who signs your scope is the one who runs your test and briefs your board. No hand-off to a junior after the sale.

Offensive & defensive both

Our people have sat on both sides — running red-team engagements and rebuilding networks after the worst day. That range is why the remediation advice is practical, not theoretical.

We write for humans

Every deliverable carries an executive summary a non-technical owner can act on, plus the deep technical appendix your IT contractor needs. Two audiences, one report.

Rooted here, not remote-only

We are based at 300 Middleton Rd in Milton and go on-site across the Seacoast and Lakes Region. When a test needs eyes in the building, we drive.

What sits behind the work

Credentials that carry the weight.

We do not trade on marketing claims. We trade on method, documentation, and the record we leave with every client.

A

Methodology grounded in recognised frameworks

Our testing follows the structure of established industry methodologies — the same phases an enterprise assessor works through, applied at a scale that fits a small business.

B

Deliverables cyber insurers ask for

Our audit reports map to the control language on common cyber-liability questionnaires — MFA coverage, backup posture, and attestation — so a renewal is not a scramble.

C

A documented chain from scope to sign-off

Signed rules of engagement, an NDA on file, ranked findings, and a retest of the critical items. The paper trail is part of the product, not an afterthought.

D

Confidential by default

We do not publish client names or logos. The businesses we protect stay quiet — that discretion is a service, and it is one we extend to every account.
