About The Private Firm (TPF)

Cybersecurity & Applied R&D

Who We Are

The Private Firm is a disciplined partner for mission‑critical cybersecurity and applied research. We deliver measurable risk reduction, executive‑grade reporting, and implementation that holds up under audit and operational pressure.

Value Proposition

We combine zero‑trust architecture, model‑aware security, and supply‑chain provenance to safeguard high‑value environments. Our approach is evidence‑driven, privacy‑respecting, and aligned to recognized standards.

What We Deliver

Cyber Defense Operations — Threat hunting, incident response, and adversary emulation across cloud, enclave, and OT/ICS.
Applied R&D — Post‑quantum pilots (Kyber/Dilithium), behavioral identity, silicon‑to‑software attestation, and deception engineering.
Model‑Aware Security — Secure AI/LLM pipelines, retrieval‑augmented investigations, prompt‑injection containment, and governed model memory.
Supply‑Chain Assurance — SBOM integrity, vendor telemetry, provenance verification, and tamper‑evident controls.
Governance & Assurance — Alignment with NIST RMF, SP 800‑53/171/172, CSF 2.0; audit‑grade telemetry and reporting.

How We Operate

Lawful by default — Transparent controls and privacy budgets at collection.
Evidence over assertion — Every claim backed by artifacts that travel from boardroom to courtroom.
Containment first — Segmentation by physics; failure domains self‑limit.
Identity as a verb — Ephemeral, purpose‑bound access; no forever tokens.
AI with governance — Explainable outcomes; safeguarded model memory.

Leadership

Founded and led by Hermes, an operator at the intersection of cyber defense, AI/ML, and R&D commercialization. TPF builds high‑trust teams and zero‑trust architectures and delivers outcomes that matter.
