Know Where You Stand Before You Invest
We built Careful Security because no one else would guarantee results. Everyone else sells hours. We sell outcomes.
Sammy Basu
Part "digital detective," part "cyber-therapist," Sammy Basu brings 20+ years of enterprise security experience to mid-market companies. After securing Goldman Sachs, Pfizer, Warner Bros., and EA Sports, he founded Careful Security on a simple belief: world-class security shouldn't require a Fortune 500 budget.
Sammy's philosophy of ruthless minimalism — slashing tool-bloat and optimizing what you already own — has helped 50+ companies achieve compliance certifications with a 97% first-time pass rate.

Ruthless Minimalism
More tools don't equal more security. Subtraction beats addition. We maximize protection by optimizing — not accumulating — tools.
Subtract Before You Add
Eliminate tool-bloat and data sprawl. Wring maximum value from what you already own.
Human-First Security
Many breaches trace to human neglect, not technical flaws. Secure the people, not just the endpoints.
Progress Over Perfection
Ship improvements weekly, not epiphanies yearly. Celebrate every closed gap.
By the Numbers
