// Playing With Fire?

Sound Familiar?

▸You have no idea if someone is already in your environment — and no tooling to find out.
▸An enterprise prospect just asked about your security posture. You didn't have a great answer.
▸Your team has local admin on everything and nobody's tracking privileged access.
▸Your cloud environment was stood up fast — nobody's sure it's actually secure or scalable.
▸You're not ready to hire a full-time IT Director. But you need one anyway.

// The Reality

Getting This Right Early Is Cheaper Than Fixing It On Fire.

Enterprise clients will test your defenses. Attackers don't care that you're a startup — in fact they're counting on it.

Most fractional IT help sets up your Microsoft stack and calls it security. h34t runs actual security operations — EDR, SIEM, PAM, DLP — the tooling that tells you when something's wrong before it becomes a crisis.

// The Differentiator

Most Consultants Own One Lane.
h34t Owns Three.

Security Operations

Not just a firewall and a prayer. Real SecOps — threat detection, endpoint protection, identity controls, and privileged access management. Built to catch what gets through and stop what doesn't.
