ABOUT STRACE
Built by practitioners. Trusted when it counts.
Strace Technologies is a veteran-owned cybersecurity firm based in Plano, Texas, built on a single conviction: the firms that handle your most sensitive work should be the ones who've actually done the work.
OUR STORY
Strace was founded by cybersecurity practitioners whose experience spans U.S. military service, federal cybersecurity operations, and enterprise security leadership.
That experience shaped a simple view of the work: cybersecurity is most effective when technical depth, sound judgment, and accountability stay close to the problem.
Strace was built around that principle.
Our work is led by incident response and digital forensics, where technical decisions and timely action can shape the outcome. That same practitioner mindset carries into penetration testing, security advisory, Microsoft cloud security, and cyber workforce training.
Engagements are led by senior practitioners who remain accountable from scope through final readout. We focus on clear ownership, practical recommendations, and deliverables built for the people who have to act on them.
Strace is veteran-owned and U.S.-based. Our delivery model is designed to preserve technical depth and senior accountability, without putting unnecessary layers between clients and the people responsible for the work.
That is the standard behind every Strace engagement.
HOW STRACE OPERATES
Practitioner-led. Clear ownership.
When you engage Strace, you work with experienced cybersecurity professionals whose backgrounds include enterprise security operations, incident response, offensive security testing, and Microsoft cloud security.
Strace maintains a high bar for practitioners leading client work: hands-on experience, disciplined execution, and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and executive stakeholders.
Our engagements are structured around clear ownership and direct communication. The practitioners leading the work stay close to the technical details, answer your questions, brief stakeholders, and shape the reports and recommendations you receive.
You should always understand what we are doing, why it matters, and what comes next. Expect plain language, defensible findings, and clear communication throughout the engagement.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Four convictions.
01 — Practitioner-led, always
Security work suffers when context is lost between scoping and delivery. At Strace, engagements are led by senior practitioners who stay close to the work from first consultation through final readout.
02 — Speed is methodology
Speed comes from preparation: standardized methodology, pre-negotiated contracts, and practitioners with prior experience in the work. Strace is built around all three.
03 — Documentation is the product
Reports that survive an assessor's questions, IR reports that hold up in litigation, training that changes behavior measurably. That is the actual product; everything else is the work that produces it.
04 — Pricing should be defensible
Our clients have to justify our invoices to their boards, their finance teams, and their cyber insurance carriers. Strace prices engagements with defined scope and clear deliverables: structures buyers can defend internally.
HOW WE WORK
From scope to next steps.
01 · SCOPE
We discuss your needs, define the deliverables and timeline, and agree pricing before work begins.
02 · DELIVER
Work follows the agreed statement of work. Scope changes are agreed before additional work proceeds.
03 · DOCUMENT
Written deliverables explain the work performed, the findings, and recommended next steps for technical and executive audiences.
04 · CONTINUE
Follow-on assessments, retainers, training, or advisory can be scoped when further work is needed.

WHY “STRACE”
In Linux, strace is a diagnostic tool that traces the system calls a process makes. It shows how something actually behaves, not how it is assumed to behave.
That idea captures how we work with clients: trace what is actually happening in the environment, surface what is exposed, and help close what matters.
Practitioners know the reference. That is intentional.
