About
We are a small team of experienced security and software professionals who give every client personal attention, and we are proud that 100% of our clients are references.
We read your code and your infrastructure before we write a recommendation. Findings come with the mechanism, not just the CVSS score, so your engineers understand why a control matters and can extend it without us. We write designs your team can implement, and when you want us to implement them, we do that too. Every engagement ends with something you own: a threat model, a design document, a test suite, or working code.

penetration tests delivered on deadline for public technology companies
Our principals served as security architects on Amazon Marketplace, Payments, and Prime Air, where the review standards they wrote became the baseline for new products.
They built application security and anti-abuse programs at SaaS companies like Smartsheet, including detection systems that held up under the industry-wide password-spray campaigns of 2024 and 2025, and designed the agentic identity and authorization model for a mature multi-tenant platform.
In 2019 Foretheta ran the penetration test of Stacks' public web properties, working directly with its Head of Engineering, reporting twice a week, and closing with a final report and wrap-up review inside a three-week window. We have provided security code review to teams building on the Stacks Clarity platform since.

We strive to create an environment where people can do their best work. Here is what that means to us.
Foretheta strives to improve the people and environment that it interacts with. We want to contribute to the well-being of the communities we touch. We believe we can do that by teaching the skills and knowledge that we have acquired. We do this by giving back through writing, speaking, and open-sourcing our code.
Foretheta is committed to constantly raising the bar in every area that we work in. We strive to increase our technical expertise. We work hard to constantly improve our craft and skills. We strive to improve the quality of the products we ship.
Foretheta is dedicated to our customer's success. We are happy when our customers are successful. This means that we will always be honest and upfront with our feedback. We will strive to do the right thing for our customers, even if it means scaling down expectations. We want our customers to validate their ideas in small chunks, validating their ideas at each stage.
Tell us what your agents do, what they can reach, and what worries you. We will tell you where we would look first and whether a review makes sense.
