Security & web practice · New York

Break it before someone else does. Then build something worth defending.

NYRICH is a small practice with two disciplines. Offensive security and identity engineering for organizations that have something to lose. Design, build, and hosting for businesses that need a website done right and kept that way.

Every engagement starts with a scope like this, agreed in writing before a single packet is sent.

01 · Security

Find the weakness first. Fix the access that lets it matter.

Most breaches are not clever. They are a reachable service, a reused credential, and an account with more privilege than anyone remembers granting. The work is to find those paths the way an attacker would, then close them at the identity layer where they actually get used.

RED TEAM

Adversary simulation

Real-world attack scenarios against your infrastructure, tailored to the threats your business actually faces. Reported by exploitability, not by scanner count, with a retest included.

IDENTITY

Privileged access engineering

Vaulting privileged passwords, proxying and recording admin sessions, centralizing sudo policy, and hardening the authentication services everything else depends on. Design, deployment, and clean-up of what grew organically.

COMPLIANCE

Readiness, not paperwork

HIPAA-aware handling of patient-facing systems and data, and the evidence an auditor asks for produced as a by-product of doing the work properly rather than a separate exercise.

How an engagement runs

Scope

Targets, rules of engagement, and success criteria agreed in writing.

Test

Manual work within the window. You get a call, not a ticket, for anything critical.

Report

Findings ranked by how they would actually be used, each with a fix you can hand to an engineer.

Retest

Fixes verified against the original findings. Closed means proven closed.

02 · Design & Hosting

Websites built, branded, and hosted under one roof.

Eighteen years of building sites, logos, and corporate identities for businesses that want to look established and be found. The difference here is what happens after launch: the site runs on infrastructure I maintain myself, hardened the way a security practice would.

BUILD

Web development

Responsive, fast, and built for the people who will use it: appointment booking for a clinic, registration for a youth league, quote requests for a contractor.

BRAND

Logo and identity

A mark that survives being shrunk to a favicon and blown up on a truck door, with the colour, type, and usage rules to keep it consistent everywhere it appears.

HOST

Hosting and care

Your site on infrastructure I run, not a shared plan. Each site isolated from its neighbours, patched automatically, backed up regularly, certificates renewed without anyone opening a ticket.

What "hosted properly" means here

The same standard applied to client sites as to a security engagement. Nothing exotic, just the things that are usually skipped.

  • Every site isolated from its neighbours, so a problem on one cannot reach another.
  • Encrypted on every site, with certificates issued and renewed automatically.
  • Security updates applied automatically, and regular backups you never have to think about.
  • Firewalled at the network edge and on the host, with only what the public needs left open.
