A TRENCHANT CYBER COMPANY

GRC & Security Software, built by the people who live it.

Trenchant Labs designs and ships Security and GRC platforms — Our own ISO 27001 based ITSM (trenchant-countersign ITSM), the Agent Governance Platform and a compliance & cloud-security platform — plus the on-prem, AI, web, and mobile engineering behind them, including hardened replatforms off legacy WordPress. All of it built with the same security discipline Trenchant Cyber applies to regulated infrastructure.

// every agent action passes the gateway
const policy = {
  tool_calls: 'allow-listed',
  mcp_servers: 'registered, scoped',
  approvals: 'human-in-the-loop',
  audit_trail: 'full lifecycle',
  ungoverned_actions: 0,
};

// governance: gated, not optional

Four ways we build security and GRC software that doesn't create risk.

Two GRC platforms, plus the on-prem, AI, and web/mobile engineering that supports them — all run through the same security discipline Trenchant Cyber applies to regulated infrastructure.

FLAGSHIP

GRC & Security: Agent Governance Platform

An embedded MCP gateway that governs and audits the full agentic lifecycle — every tool call, every model, every action, logged to an immutable trail.

FLAGSHIP

GRC & Security: Compliance Platform

Continuous compliance monitoring and cloud-security scanning across 20+ providers, mapped to 100+ frameworks — unified, not another dashboard to babysit.

03

AI & on-prem engineering

LLM features, agent workflows, and custom systems deployed inside your own infrastructure when data can't leave your network.

04

Web & mobile development

Customer-facing sites and apps — including hardened React/Node replatforms off legacy WordPress builds.

FLAGSHIP PLATFORM

The Agent Governance Platform

An embedded MCP gateway that sits in front of every agent, model, and tool call in your stack — governing and auditing the full agentic lifecycle from provisioning through execution to audit. Nothing an agent does is ungoverned, unlogged, or unapproved.

  • → Embedded MCP gateway brokers every tool and server connection
  • → Policy-based gating with human-in-the-loop approvals where you need them
  • → Full lifecycle audit trail — provisioning, execution, deprovisioning

agentic-lifecycle
01Provision agent — scoped identity issued
02Request tool call — routed through MCP gateway
03Policy check — allow, deny, or escalate
04Execute + log — full trace written to audit
05Deprovision — access revoked, trail retained
FLAGSHIP PLATFORM

The Compliance & Cloud Security Platform

A unified scanning and monitoring platform that continuously checks your cloud, SaaS, and code against the frameworks that matter — built on proven open-source scanning engines and extended with policy mapping, attack-path analysis, and AI-powered triage.

  • → 20+ cloud and SaaS providers scanned continuously — AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, Microsoft 365, and more
  • → 100+ compliance frameworks mapped out of the box, from CIS Benchmarks to DORA and MITRE ATT&CK
  • → AI-powered triage prioritizes findings instead of leaving you a 4,000-row spreadsheet

CASE STUDY

End-to-end security review for a SaaS platform

We audited a growth-stage SaaS company's full cloud infrastructure and application layer, closing every gap surfaced by their most recent penetration test — the same coverage standard we apply to every system we deploy.

WHO'S BUILDING IT

22+ years in cyber. Built the platforms most agencies have only heard of.

Trenchant Labs is built and led by Edward Hansen — U.S. Navy and U.S. Army veteran, CISSP, and founder of Trenchant Cyber. Two decades spent securing regulated infrastructure, then building the internal tooling most firms outsource: AI trading platforms, financial analysis systems, and the SecDevOps and compliance-monitoring pipelines that secure software from first commit to deployment and keep cloud infrastructure continuously audited.
