Orbital Trust Architecture Review

A focused, fixed-fee engagement that produces an actionable security architecture assessment for your space system. Typically two to three weeks, scoped against the systems and documentation you already have.

What's included:

• Threat model tailored to your mission profile and architecture
• Identity and key management assessment, including root-of-trust and lifecycle
• Secure update and command authority review
• Tenant, workload, and data isolation review
• Ground-to-cloud integration review
• Prioritized risk register with a 90-day remediation roadmap
• Optional investor- or customer-facing security summary

Who it's for: satellite operators, orbital compute and hosted payload platforms, optical and RF link providers, and space-ground software teams that need cloud-grade security without assuming cloud-grade connectivity.

Security Assessments

Beyond the architecture review, we run targeted assessments against specific layers of your stack. Each one is scoped to produce something concrete: a finding, a recommendation, a path forward.

Spacecraft & Embedded

Bus and payload firmware, secure boot, root-of-trust, command authentication, and on-orbit key handling for spacecraft and embedded subsystems.

Radio & Link Layer

Command and telemetry link confidentiality, integrity, and authentication. Key distribution and rekey strategies for long-lived assets.

Ground Hardware

Hardware attestation, trusted execution environments, and remote integrity for ground stations and edge sites where physical security is partial at best.

Cloud & Platform

Key management, secrets handling, workload identity, access control, audit, and supply-chain evidence for the cloud and on-prem systems your mission depends on.

Ongoing Security Support

Architecture reviews and assessments produce findings. Closing them takes engineering. We work alongside your team to turn a risk register into a real security posture—on your schedule and within your budget.

Remediation Roadmaps

Prioritized, sequenced plans that account for engineering capacity, mission timelines, and which findings are actually load-bearing. Not a wall of severity ratings.

Hands-on Engineering

Direct engineering support to design and implement fixes—PKI rollouts, signing infrastructure, identity systems, secure update pipelines—so your team can stay focused on the mission.

Continual Review

Design reviews, code reviews, and recurring architecture check-ins as your system evolves. Catch security regressions before they ship to orbit.
