Security Roots Company Info - the team behind the Dradis Framework

We come from a background in security consulting: a 30+ project a year, 85% utilization background.

We've suffered the pains of having to deal with all the overhead involved in delivering short-lived engagements: exchanging dozens of emails to keep track of tasks, writing the same issue descriptions again and again for the report...

There had to be a better way.

Security specialists thrive when attacking (or defending) systems. Everything else (e.g. reporting, project planing, etc.) is overhead.

A centralized vulnerability database, a way for the team to share information, an automated reporting tool — these systems are a must for every security group that wants to stay competitive (or be cost-effective).

We do software. No security testing. No distractions. No outside investors.

We can help you in a few ways:

Collaborate efficiently and share information.
Be consistent across engagements, don't forget anything, avoid surprises.
No headaches. Our solutions work out-of-the-box, no installation needed — deploy on-prem or to your cloud environment.
Great support. Your pain is our pain. We're here to help every step of the way and to give you piece of mind.

Our Mission

We help information security teams focus on making systems more secure by reducing the overhead of managing and discussing the outcome of the security assessments they perform for their clients (whether these are inside their organisation or outside of it).

What We Believe

We are here for the humans. At the end of the day, the work done in infosec is for and about humans. And as messy as humans are, that can make this work frustratingly complicated. Sure, scanning tools and blinking boxes can handle some of it - but pulling everything together requires a human. We are here to make it simpler for you to be human by getting the time sucks out of your way.

Infosec is a team sport. Just like information systems are interconnected, so are the different folks involved in securing them. Sharing clear information and thinking creatively together is often critical to solving the problem at hand, so let's do more of that well.

Customers + Vision = Roadmap. We don't have an official roadmap, but that's not to say we don't have plans. We've got big ideas on how this industry will continue to evolve and how we can best serve you and your customers. That's why we reach out to our customers and invite your feedback.

It's your data. You keep it. Whatever data you put in Dradis, including your app usage, is yours and we like it that way. We respect your privacy and that of your customers like we value our own. We trust that you will let us know how we can improve and make a better product.
