Our Approach

Most security programs try to do everything—and end up doing too much, too poorly. We help you avoid that.

StrawHat’s methodology is built around one core idea: focus leads to strength. Developed through years of military experience and refined across national-scale systems, our approach helps teams prioritize high-value actions and let go of the noise.

1

Define the Real Problem

Before we recommend a single solution, we get to the root of the issue. Using a proprietary diagnostic framework, we help clients understand their true security challenges—not just what’s visible on the surface.

2

Apply a Risk-Based Lens

Compliance asks you to check boxes. We ask: does it actually make you safer? Our process uses risk assessments to justify what’s necessary, what’s not, and where your effort has the greatest impact.

3

FOCUS AND PRIORITIZE

Rather than “boiling the ocean,” we help clients target a few key areas with precision—strengthening those first before moving to the next priority. The result is stronger, more strategic security outcomes without the overwhelm.

Stay Product Agnostic

We’re not resellers. That means no bias, no back-end deals, and no misaligned incentives. We recommend what’s best for your organization—not what benefits us.

5

Built Trust Through Clarity

Our clients trust us because we speak plainly, explain the why behind every recommendation, and never over-engineer the path forward. You’ll never feel like you’re being sold to—only supported.
