About Tangental
Practical security guidance for businesses that don't have time for security theater.
Why We Started Tangental
Most security consultancies are built for enterprises. They sell frameworks, generate lengthy reports, and leave you with recommendations that don't fit your budget, team, or timeline.
Tangental exists because small and mid-sized businesses deserve better. We bring real security experience, but we adapt it to how your business actually operates. No 200-page reports that sit on a shelf. No tools designed for teams ten times your size. Just practical guidance you can act on.
We work alongside you, not above you. When we make recommendations, you'll understand the reasoning, and you'll be able to defend those decisions to your leadership, customers, or auditors.
How We Work
Right-Sized Solutions
We match security recommendations to your actual risk, budget, and capacity. No enterprise solutions for startup problems.
Plain Language
Security is full of jargon. We skip it. You'll understand our recommendations and be able to explain them to others.
Collaborative Partnership
We work with you, not just for you. You'll build internal knowledge and capability, not just dependency on us.
Our Background
We've built and led security programs at companies ranging from early-stage startups to public enterprises. We've been through SOC 2 audits, ISO 27001 certifications, and countless customer security reviews.
That experience taught us what works and what doesn't. More importantly, it taught us what works for smaller companies, where you can't throw headcount or budget at every problem.
