We secure
systems at
the root level
Founded in 2021, Distrust is an R&D and security consulting firm. We specialize in low-level systems, confidential compute, and designing infrastructure that reduces attack surface and renders entire classes of exploits impossible.
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.
- decentralize trust
- open source everything
- security beyond compliance
- move thoughtfully & improve things
- 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Too often, security is an afterthought based on dogma, checklists, and outdated best practices.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: 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.
