🚧 Demo launch — this front-end is a work in progress. We’re a startup still in development, so some features may not work yet.

About GWSSG

Built where the satellites pass — staffed by people who've worked the other side of the wire.

GreatWhiteShark Security Group is a U.S. cybersecurity contractor running continuous, internet-scale reconnaissance for sovereigns, regulated industry, and the small set of organizations who treat their attack surface like an open question.

The Company

An Albany, New York LLC.

GWSSG is registered in Albany, New York — close to the federal, state, and financial-sector clients we serve. We are independent, operator-owned, and we do not take outside capital from anyone whose interests would conflict with our clients'.

We work under contract. There is no self-serve product. There is no community tier. Engagements are scoped, signed, and staffed by the same people who deliver them — usually inside two weeks.

EST. 2024

Founded

By federal red-team alumni and a platform engineer who'd had enough of off-the-shelf tooling.

HQ

Albany, NY

Tier-3 data center on premises. Air-gapped analyst floor. No commodity cloud for sensitive ops.

STAFF

34 operators

Across cyber operations, ML research, platform engineering, and intelligence analysis.

CLIENTS

By referral

We accept new partners only after introduction by an existing one. Privacy goes both ways.

Our Thesis

In a world becoming more autonomous and adversarial, recon is the perimeter.

For two decades the cybersecurity industry has trained organizations to look inward — logs, endpoints, identity, posture. That work matters, and it is not enough. The fastest growth in the threat landscape is happening on the public internet: in unindexed corners of certificate transparency, in ASN-level scanning patterns, in domains registered fifteen minutes ago, in the microeconomics of leaked credentials.

GWSSG was built on a single belief: an organization that sees the open internet the way attackers see it — continuously, relationally, at scale — cannot be surprised. Everything we do points at that thesis.

Principles

How we work.

01

Source-graded or it doesn't ship

Every assertion in a GWSSG deliverable carries provenance, confidence, and a chain back to raw observation. We do not ship hand-wave intel.

02

Continuous, not periodic

Quarterly scans are theater. Our default cadence for a target's external surface is 4 hours, full-spectrum. The threat moves continuously; so do we.

03

Operator on the call

The analyst who scoped your engagement is the analyst on your bridge during an incident. No tier-1 wall. No ticket queue.

04

Defense-only

We do not sell offensive capabilities, exploits, or zero-days. Our entire stack is oriented toward seeing first and getting there before the adversary does.

05

Models earn their seat

AI is a force multiplier when it has provenance, retrieval, and humans in the loop. We deploy models that demonstrably reduce analyst toil — nothing more.

06

Boring infrastructure

Our scanning fleet, graph store, and ingest pipeline are deliberately unflashy. Reliability is the feature. So is determinism. So is being awake at 3 a.m.

Our Path

A short history.

GWSSG is a young company with a long bench. The founding team has been building variants of this system for most of a career — just inside other people's organizations.

Q3 2024

Founded in Albany

Three founders, one rented rack, and a commitment to never build a product page before the platform actually worked.

Q1 2025

First full IPv4 sweep cycle

Sentinel scanning fleet reaches 4-hour cadence with banner-grab on 800+ services. First three contracted clients onboard.

Q3 2025

Relational graph v1

Temporal property graph store goes into production. Cross-artifact pivots in single-digit milliseconds.

Q4 2025

AI triage in production

Embedding-based alert collapser ships with provenance binding. Median analyst toil down 71% on covered alert classes.

2026

Operating now

Mid-double-digit clients, four continents of staff, and a continued commitment to staying small enough to actually answer the phone.
