honest advice.
real expertise.
no theater.

insomnisec was built around a simple conviction: organizations deserve security expertise that's honest, useful, and not wrapped in a sales process. We don't produce reports that collect dust — we produce change.

Every engagement gets senior-level attention and clear findings you can implement without a PhD. If we find something serious, we say so clearly. If something is outside our scope, we say that too.
