Security Services for SMBs
Small and mid-sized businesses face the same threats as enterprises with a fraction of the budget. TetraCore delivers security as engineering — software built securely from the first commit, existing systems hardened, and honest reviews of the apps you already depend on. No fear-mongering, no checkbox theater.
What We Do
Our security work is scoped honestly: we are software engineers who build and operate production systems, and our security services cover exactly that ground — the code, infrastructure, and practices your business runs on.
Secure-by-Design Builds
Security decisions made at design time, not patched in later: authentication and access control, encrypted data handling, tenant isolation, and audit trails built into the architecture of everything we develop.
Hardening Existing Systems
Tightening what you already run — access and permission cleanup, dependency and patch hygiene, configuration review, backups, and sensible logging so problems are visible before they are expensive.
Application & Architecture Review
An engineering-level review of software another team built: how it handles authentication, data, secrets, and third-party services — delivered as a prioritized, plain-English list of fixes.
Security Practices for SMBs
Right-sized guidance for small and mid-sized businesses: account and credential policies, least-privilege access, offboarding, and vendor choices — practical protection without enterprise overhead.
We Secure Our Own Products First
Every security practice we recommend is one we apply to our own portfolio. Our products handle data that demands care — CallsAround processes live customer phone calls, ItemStage maintains chain-of-custody records, Franexis runs multi-tenant operations where each franchisee's data must stay isolated, and VoterCXM serves civic organizations. That is a daily obligation, not a marketing page.
Several products publish their security practices openly — the same transparency we bring to client engagements.
Security FAQs
Do you provide SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification?
No — and we won't pretend otherwise. Certifications are issued by accredited third-party auditors, not by development shops. What we do is engineering: building and hardening systems with sound security practices and helping you fix the technical gaps a future audit would flag. If certification is your goal, we work alongside the auditor you choose.
Can you review an application another company built for us?
Yes. This is one of our most common security engagements. We review the codebase, infrastructure, and configuration at an engineering level and give you a prioritized report in plain English: what is solid, what is risky, and what to fix first. You can act on it with your own team or have us do the remediation.
What does "secure by design" actually mean?
It means security is an input to the architecture rather than a cleanup task. Concretely: choosing how authentication, permissions, and data encryption work before writing features; isolating customer data from the start; keeping secrets out of code; and logging security-relevant events. It is how we build our own products — several of which, like ItemStage and Franexis, publish their security practices openly.
