Security is our craft
GuardFoundry is a security engineering studio. We exist to build, audit, and harden digital systems — with privacy and security as non-negotiable foundations.
Our approach
The security industry is full of vendors selling fear and checkbox compliance. We take a different approach: we're engineers first, and we believe security comes from understanding systems deeply.
We don't run automated scanners and hand you a PDF. We dig into your architecture, understand your threat model, and provide actionable engineering guidance that actually improves your security posture.
Every engagement is bespoke. We don't have "packages" or "tiers" — we have conversations, and we scope our work to match your actual needs.
# What we believe
- Security is an engineering discipline
- Privacy is a fundamental right
- Simplicity beats complexity
- Trust is earned, not claimed
- Self-hosted > cloud-dependent
- Open practices > security theater
- Every system can be improved
// No tracking. No surveillance. No compromise.
Core principles
Privacy-First
No surveillance, no tracking, no third-party scripts. We believe privacy is a fundamental right, not a feature toggle. Every system we build starts with data minimization.
Engineering-Driven
Security isn't checklist compliance — it's engineering. We understand systems deeply, from architecture to bytecode, and we build defenses that are structural, not superficial.
Transparency
We publish our security.txt, practice responsible disclosure, and communicate honestly about risk. No security theater, no FUD marketing — just honest assessment.
Self-Reliance
We self-host our infrastructure, minimize external dependencies, and avoid vendor lock-in. We don't trust vendors with our security, and we help you do the same.
Minimalism
Every line of code is attack surface. We build only what's needed, keep systems simple, and eliminate unnecessary complexity. Minimal surface, maximum security.
Long-Term Partnership
Security isn't a one-time engagement. We build lasting relationships, understand your evolving threat model, and provide ongoing support as your systems grow.
