Purpose

Every organization deserves access to world-class security expertise, not just those with enterprise budgets. In a world where cyber threats are growing exponentially but security expertise remains prohibitively expensive, we're bridging the gap.

Founded on the principle that robust IT risk management and controls shouldn't be a luxury, we provide enterprise-grade consulting at a scale and price point that works for ambitious organizations of all sizes at every stage.

We provide comprehensive IT risk management and controls consulting that doesn't compromise on quality - because we believe security should enable growth, not hinder it.

From compliance readiness to control design, we partner with you to build resilient systems that protect what matters most: your business, your data, and your customers' trust.

The Beginning

"Founder's Note.."

For years, I watched how most IT security risk assessments were handled. They looked impressive on paper, filled with jargons and long reports, yet most of them were superficial.

What stood out to me, over time was that security often competed with other business priorities. Teams wanted to do the right thing, but awareness and ownership varied. I realized that people weren't ignoring security - they just needed the right context, the right approach, and someone to make it practical and relatable.

At the same time, big consulting firms offered advisory services almost exclusively for large enterprises. Their models rarely fit the reality of growing startups or mid-sized businesses that were building fast and taking bold digital risks.

That's when I saw what I now call the "Global Startup Risk Gap." A gap where innovation was outpacing security maturity, where the need for practical, no-nonsense guidance was real but unavailable.

SkrenBytes was my answer to that gap. Built on clarity. Driven by context. Focused on what truly matters.
