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 with backgrounds in US military service, federal cybersecurity operations, and enterprise security leadership.
We started the firm because we kept seeing the same gap in the industry: organizations needed senior cybersecurity judgment, but too often received templated work, unclear ownership, and deliverables disconnected from the realities of their environment.
We built Strace to close that gap.
Every engagement is led by a senior practitioner. Every scope is shaped by the people responsible for the work. Every deliverable reflects judgment, accountability, and work we are willing to put our name on.
Strace is veteran-owned, US-based, and built to support organizations across industries and geographies. Our work spans four core practice areas: incident response, security advisory, cloud security, and corporate cyber training.
We are not the biggest cybersecurity firm. We are deliberately not trying to be.
We are the firm you call when the work has to be done right.
HOW STRACE OPERATES
Founder-led. Practitioner-run.
Strace is founder-led and practitioner-run. Engagements are scoped and delivered by senior cybersecurity professionals with experience across enterprise security operations, incident response, cloud security, and compliance-driven environments.
As the firm grows, every practitioner who joins meets the same bar: senior depth, hands-on background, and the ability to lead engagements end to end.
Our delivery model is built around senior ownership and continuity. From the first consultation through final readout, clients work with practitioners who know the craft, build context quickly, and stay accountable for the outcome.
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's 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
Four phases, every engagement.
01 · SCOPE
Every engagement starts with a no-obligation consultation. We listen, we ask hard questions, and we tell you what we can actually deliver.
02 · DELIVER
Work is executed by the practitioners who scoped it, against a written statement of work with fixed deliverables and a defined timeline.
03 · DOCUMENT
Every Strace engagement produces written deliverables built to survive scrutiny — from assessors, from insurance carriers, from litigation, or from your own board.
04 · CONTINUE
When the engagement closes, we don't disappear. Most Strace clients return for adjacent work — retainers, follow-on assessments, training, or advisory.
WHERE WE WORK
Headquarters
Plano, Texas — in the Dallas–Fort Worth corridor, home to one of the densest concentrations of defense, technology, and enterprise firms in the United States.
Primary market
Defense contractors, growth-stage companies, professional services firms, healthcare and behavioral health practices, nonprofits, associations, government contractors, and partner-led engagements across industries and geographies.
Channel partnerships
Strace works with managed service providers (MSPs) that need senior security depth without building an internal cybersecurity practice — typically on incident response, M365 hardening, and compliance engagements. White-label and co-engagement structures are available.
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.
