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.
4
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.
