Security engineering · Zagreb, HR

Threat detection, defensive architecture & incident response.

We help mid-sized companies, public bodies and infrastructure operators across Croatia and the wider region keep critical systems running when something goes wrong — and long before it does.

What we do

Security work that holds up under pressure.

Four practices, one team. We map where you are exposed, build the defences that close those gaps, and stay on call when an alert turns into a real event.

01

Security assessment

We test networks, applications and cloud accounts the way an intruder would, then hand you a report you can act on — ranked by impact, not volume.

  • External and internal testing
  • Web and API review
  • Cloud configuration audit
02

Defensive architecture

Segmentation, identity, logging and encryption designed for how your teams actually work. We document every decision so your engineers can maintain it without us.

  • Zero-trust network design
  • Identity and access policy
  • Data protection controls
03

Detection & monitoring

A monitoring stack tuned to your environment, with alerts that mean something. Analysts watch the signals so your people are not chasing noise at 3am.

  • SIEM build and tuning
  • 24/7 analyst coverage
  • Threat intelligence feeds
04

Incident response

When an event is confirmed, a named team takes the call within the hour. We contain, investigate, restore service and write up exactly what happened.

  • Containment and recovery
  • Forensic investigation
  • Regulatory reporting support
05

Compliance readiness

NIS2, GDPR and ISO 27001 mapped to controls you can demonstrate. We prepare the evidence and sit beside you through the audit.

  • NIS2 gap analysis
  • ISO 27001 preparation
  • GDPR data mapping
06

Security training

Practical sessions for the people who click the links and approve the payments. Scenario-based, in Croatian or English, measured against real outcomes.

  • Staff awareness programmes
  • Tabletop exercises
  • Developer secure-coding labs

Recent engagements

A few of the problems we have worked through.

Client names stay private — that is part of the work. The situations below are representative engagements from the last three years.

Energy sector

Detection rebuild for a regional utility

Replaced a noisy alerting setup with a tuned SIEM. Median time to triage an alert dropped from 40 minutes to under 6.

Cloud segmentation for a payments firm

Redesigned account boundaries and identity policy ahead of a regulatory review. The audit closed with no major findings.

Public sector

Incident response for a city authority

Contained an active intrusion over a weekend, restored services by Monday, and delivered the regulatory report within the legal window.

Security is not a product you install once. It is a practice you keep — quiet, documented, and ready for the day the alarm is real.

How an engagement runs

Clear stages, no surprises.

01

Scoping

We sit down with your team to understand the systems that matter, the obligations you carry, and what a bad day actually looks like for you.

02

Assessment

We examine the environment in depth — configurations, access, traffic and code — and document where the real exposure sits.

03

Remediation

We work alongside your engineers to close gaps in priority order, building defences your team can own and maintain afterwards.

04

Monitoring & review

Detection goes live, analysts take over the watch, and we meet on a fixed cadence to review what the signals are telling us.

The people you work with

A small bench of senior practitioners.

No layered account managers. The engineer who scopes your work is the one who carries the pager.

Luka Kovačević

Lead, offensive testing

Fifteen years breaking into systems on request, most recently across the energy and telecom sectors. Writes the report you can hand to a board.

Ivana Marić

Lead, detection engineering

Builds the monitoring that catches the quiet events. Spent six years in a national response team before joining the studio.

Domagoj Horvat

Lead, compliance & advisory

Translates NIS2 and ISO 27001 into controls auditors accept. Sits with clients through every assessment from first meeting to sign-off.

Tell us what keeps you up at night.

A short call is enough for us to understand your environment and say honestly whether we are the right team for it.
