Every recommendation we make is built to be stood behind — by us, alongside you — whether it lands in front of your board, your regulator, an insurer, or a courtroom. That standard changes how advice gets built: evidence first, named owners, decisions you can show your work on.
The 3/3/3 model
Assess in days. Pilot in weeks. Prove value in months. It's the delivery model the industry's largest technology platforms are standardizing on — and it's how every Realis engagement is built for you.
3 days
Assess
A short, scored diagnostic — the AI Readiness Assessment — that tells you exactly where you stand and what to do first. No six-month scoping exercise, no discovery theater. You leave with a posture you can report and a prioritized list you can act on.
3 weeks
Pilot
A focused second engagement, scoped from what the assessment surfaced — executive advisory, a development-lifecycle or product evaluation, a vendor decision, or a leadership workshop. Fixed scope, principal-led, evidence out the other side.
3 months
Prove
Production value you can point to: controls in place, decisions made, exposure reduced, and the fiscal impact measured. Custom engagements come third — only when the work has earned them.
Decisions, not dashboards
GRC today is 27 spider charts with no path to green — no line from the dashboard to ROI or reduced risk.
Executives don't need another tool. They need decisions — and they work through delegation, so the advice has to survive being handed down.
Realis is changing how GRC works in the age of AI: knowledge and process, not more tooling.
"Secure enough" is a valid goal. We help you find it, defend it, and move fast because of it.
Innovation and chaos are both dynamic — the goal isn't to freeze either, it's to steer.
WHY IT CAN'T WAIT
There is no Cyber 911.
When it happens, nobody is coming. The plan you have — tested, delegated, defensible — is the response you get.
Clarity + Protection = Velocity
A boutique, on purpose
We're not incented to camp out in your organization — our history shows it. Fixed scopes, clear exits, your team stronger when we leave.
Principal-led means the people you meet do the work. No junior bench, no filler, no staff handoff after the sale.
Industry- and partner-agnostic: we don't resell tools, build AI products, or take vendor incentives — our only interest is your outcome.
Independent and defensible: advice you can put in front of anyone, because nobody paid us to reach it.
What we're not
Not an MDR or a managed security service.
Not staff augmentation.
Not AI builders selling you a platform.
Not a body shop billing by the quarter.
What we are: senior advisors at the intersection of AI, security, and enterprise risk — turning your uncertainty into clarity and confidence.
The independence test
Ask who in the relationship loses money if the honest recommendation is to spend less, cancel an initiative, or leave an existing arrangement in place. If the answer is the party giving the advice, the advice is not independent — however competent and well-intentioned the people giving it are.
The practical version: stop asking one relationship to both deliver the work and grade it. Send the operational work to the best available operator and hold them to outcome-based commitments — then put the judgment about whether those commitments are being met somewhere that has no revenue riding on the answer. That's the seat we take.
It's the test we hold ourselves to. We don't resell tools, operate your SOC, or build the AI we assess — which is what makes "spend less," "wait," and "you're fine, here's what to maintain" answers we're actually free to give.
One caution we hold ourselves to just as hard: judgment without operational literacy is theater. An advisor who can't interrogate a mean-time-to-respond figure or tell the difference between an AI agent that closed a ticket and one that resolved an incident produces governance documents and no risk reduction. The judgment layer earns its position by being credible about operations — not by being distant from them.
