who we are

Distrust is made up of engineers behind some of the most security-critical projects in the world—including BitGo, Turnkey, and Unit410.

We’ve helped hundreds of companies by conducting security reviews, building out their security infrastructure, and aiding them in launching products which can withstand the modern threat landscape. We don’t just secure systems. We build them.

our manifesto

Every day, we apply these guiding principles to how we think, build, and secure systems.

  1. decentralize trust
  2. open source everything
  3. security beyond compliance
  4. move thoughtfully & improve things
  5. impact over profit

our approach

Too often, security is an afterthought—based on dogma, checklists, and outdated best practices. Distrust was founded to redefine security by developing new methods to eliminate single points of failure, and building systems in a manner where they don't need to be blindly trusted.

We don’t just advise on security. We build it. We open source it. And we teach organizations how to think critically about risk—because security isn’t about checking boxes.

why choose Distrust

Benefit from our approach—a blend of proven methodologies and open source tooling we created, shaped by lessons from securing some of the world's highest-risk organizations.


Eliminate root causes

We don't just scan for bugs—we eliminate entire categories of bugs at the source using a first-principles methodology.

Verifiable

No guessing, no shortcuts. Every recommendation is backed by logic and rigor, not gut feel or just to check boxes.

Proven track record

Our security engineers have secured some of the highest risk infrastructure in the world (BitGo, Turnkey, Unit 410).

Embedded collaborations

We act as true partners— our goal is to make our clients succeed and not depend on us.
