About PN®
We build practical privacy & security tools that just work.
Our Mission
To make privacy and security usable for everyone—not just experts. We believe powerful protection should be simple, fast, and invisible until it matters most. Our mission is to shrink the gap between theory and practice: delivering tools and strategies that defend real people in real situations.
Core Values
Clarity
We cut jargon, simplify workflows, and focus on what matters.
Integrity
We give advice you can trust, with no hidden agendas.
Resilience
Our tools and methods are built to last, adapt, and recover.
Ingenuity
We seek clever, elegant fixes for complex problems.
Respect
Privacy is a right, not a privilege.
Governance & Principles
We ground our work in the ideals of the United States' founding documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the freedoms of speech and press guaranteed by the First Amendment.
What We Do
PN® Web OS
A browser based workspace that keeps data local, reduces tracking, and hardens your daily workflow.
Security consulting
Threat modeling, hardening, audits, incident prep.
Custom development
Privacy first apps and integrations that fit your stack.
Tools & training
Curated hardware/software kits and hands on courses.
How We Work
Start small. Pick one high value problem and solve it end to end.
Ship quickly. Short cycles, visible progress, measurable wins.
Minimize data. Collect less, keep it local, encrypt by default.
Prefer open standards. Interop over lock in.
No drama. Clear scope, clear ownership, clear outcomes.
Why PN®
Independent
Advice you can trust, not tied to a vendor.
Hands on
We build, test, and harden—then document.
Outcome driven
Less theater, more threat reduction.
Technical/Operating Doctrine
Privacy by default. Collect less, keep it local, encrypt at rest and in transit
User agency. You own your data and keys Choices are visible, reversible, and portable
Practical security. Reduce live threats, not perform security theater
Simplicity. Fewer steps Saner defaults Small surface area
Auditability without exposure. Open standards and verifiable code paths—never surveillance of people
Interoperability. Open formats and clean APIs over lock in
Reliability & speed. Fast, resilient systems with graceful failure modes and offline friendly patterns when possible
Least privilege. Access is minimal, scoped, and time bound
Measurable outcomes. Define success, instrument it, and iterate
Independent & ethical. Vendor neutral advice; no ads, no data brokerage—ever
Teach as we build. Clear docs, training, and hand offs so teams stay capable

least-privilege access, auditable workflows, encrypted-at-rest/in-transit data, clean hand-offs
Small teams with contractors
Threats:
data sprawl, credential leakage, over-permissioned tooling
We help with:
time-bound access, scoped workspaces, and zero-residue offboarding
Remote & distributed companies
Threats:
weak endpoints, risky home/roaming networks
We help with:
hardened browser workspaces, policy presets, and reproducible environments
Executives & frequent travelers
Threats:
unsafe Wi-Fi, border/device searches, opportunistic theft
We help with:
travel kits, ephemeral profiles, vault-based key handling
Developers & research teams
Threats:
supply-chain risk, secret leakage, untrusted code/content
We help with:
isolated build/test sandboxes, secrets hygiene, reproducible pipelines
Incident response, investigations & red/blue teams
Threats:
contamination risk, chain-of-custody, OPSEC drift
We help with:
clean rooms, predictable logging, compartmented evidence handling
If you recognize yourself in any line above, you may be a good fit. If you don't, tell us your threats, not your tools—and we may be able to map a minimal, secure path and ship it.
