Security tools stopped being trustworthy. We rebuilt trust from the evidence up.
GhostTrace reports only what it can demonstrate, and it proves its own capabilities the same way. A product of CySecTrust Inc.
A finding without proof is a guess with a severity label. Most platforms hand you the guess and leave the verification to you, which is how a queue of thousands becomes a chore and then becomes background noise.
So we inverted the contract. The tool does the verification work, and reports only what it can demonstrate, with the evidence attached. The consequence is the property we care about most: when GhostTrace is quiet, that silence means tested-and-clean, because the gates that prove findings also prove the tests themselves still run.
The discipline that makes the product trustworthy is the discipline we build with. We do not ask you to take our word for anything, including how the software is made.
- Proof enforced in code
- Every detector ships with a test proving it still catches its target weakness. Every claimed capability must have a passing test demonstrating it runs. If a claim lacks its proof, the build is rejected, so the platform structurally cannot lie about what it does.
- AI-assisted, governed
- Development is substantially AI-assisted. The founders design and architect, AI tools implement under direction, and a verification-heavy process catches the drift AI-generated code is prone to. We say so openly because it is part of the story rather than something to hide.
- Honest about the edges
- We publish what we do not do yet. A proof-first company should not market capabilities it cannot prove, so limitations sit on the site rather than in an appendix.
A small team with an unusually high bar for what counts as proven, in the product and in itself.
Leads engineering and detection architecture. He owns how the engine is built, which weaknesses it goes after, and the proof standard every detector is held to. If a detector cannot demonstrate its target weakness under test, it does not ship.
Over 30 years in enterprise technology, including a decade as the top security executive of a global consulting firm inside a Fortune 500 professional-services group, and 14 years running security programs at one of the world’s leading management consultancies. CISSP and CISM.
Architect of the AI reasoning layer and the gate system that governs it. He designed how the platform reasons about attack paths and, critically, the deterministic checks that constrain it, so no finding reaches a report without evidence behind it.
Built production LLM systems before GhostTrace, automating data pipelines across 120+ companies for family offices, with Python and SQL engineering underneath. That followed a capital markets career at Moelis and William Blair.
Design-partner stage. Validated against a synthetic canary, with the expected findings every run and zero false-positive recurrence, and against authorized real infrastructure, where a genuine exposure was found, gate-verified and reported to the owner. Talk to us about a design partnership.
