What do you build?
The software that gives security and operations teams leverage, built by Ironbark Cyber engineers who spend the rest of their time attacking systems like yours.
- Internal security tooling. Triage workflows, asset inventories, deduplication pipelines, alert routing, evidence stores: the glue between your existing tools.
- AI agents & copilots. Domain-specific LLM agents for security operations, compliance evidence collection, customer support and internal knowledge retrieval.
- Custom platforms & portals. Customer-facing security portals, vendor risk dashboards, multi-tenant assessment platforms.
- Integrations & automations. Wiring SIEMs, ticketing systems, code platforms, identity providers and SaaS tools together so your team stops copy-pasting.
- Secure-by-default rebuilds. Refactoring legacy internal applications with security designed in from the start.
Why have a security firm build it?
Because every system we build is designed with the same threat-model lens we use on penetration tests. Authentication, authorisation, secrets handling, audit logging and supply chain integrity are baked in from day one. And for AI builds specifically, we attack agentic systems for a living, see our AI security practice, so tool permissions, input handling and output trust are designed against attacks we actually run. When it matters, we pair the build with a secure AI architecture review.
How do you run a build?
A focused scoping phase first: what's the actual workflow, who's the user, and what does success look like? From there we deliver in short, demonstrable iterations, so you see working software early and often. Not a slide deck six months in.
Who is this for?
Security teams who need leverage. Product teams shipping security-sensitive features. Compliance and risk leaders who need automated evidence pipelines. Founders building security or AI-native products who want a partner who understands both worlds.
What do we receive?
- Working software, delivered in demonstrable iterations from the first weeks.
- Source code, documentation and deployment automation. You own what we build.
- A threat model for the system and the security controls designed against it.
- Handover sessions with your team, and ongoing support where you want it.
What does it cost?
Fixed-fee per phase, quoted within one business day of a scoping call. We deliberately scope a small first phase so the decision to continue is based on software you've seen working.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does a development engagement cost?
Build engagements are fixed-fee per phase, quoted within one business day of a scoping call. We scope a focused first phase so you see working software before committing to more. The price for each phase is agreed before it starts and never changes mid-build.
What kind of things do you build?
Internal security tooling, domain-specific AI agents and copilots, customer-facing security portals, vendor risk dashboards, and the integrations that wire your SIEM, ticketing, code platforms and identity providers together. Broadly: the tools your team would build if they had the time.
Why have a security firm build software instead of a dev shop?
Because every system Ironbark Cyber builds is designed with the same threat-model lens we use on penetration tests. Authentication, authorisation, secrets handling, audit logging and supply chain integrity are baked in from day one. Not retrofitted after your first pentest finds them missing.
Do you build AI agents securely?
Yes. It is arguably the thing we are best placed to do. We attack agentic systems for a living, so when we build them, tool permissions, input handling and output trust are designed against the attacks we run on other people's agents. Where useful, the build is paired with a secure AI architecture review.
