About Blackout Security

Elite PAM consulting that delivers results

Who Are We?

BLACKOUT SECURITY is an American-owned and operated cybersecurity firm built by people who spent decades consulting with Fortune 500 enterprises and other major global organizations. After years of being the "quiet experts" called in to rescue high-profile projects, we decided it was time to build a company that does things differently. We are 100% based in the U.S., we're hands-on, and we saw firsthand how often businesses were being charged premium rates for mediocre PAM outcomes. We launched Blackout Security with a simple philosophy: deliver elite Privileged Access Management expertise without the inflated margins, the unnecessary layers, or the sticker shock.

Collectively, our team has spent over three decades engineering, architecting, and securing privileged access for world renown enterprises around the globe. We've led enterprise programs, designed PAM architectures from the ground up, stabilized implementations that others couldn't, and built trusted relationships with organizations who needed more than a slide deck, they needed results. Our combined backgrounds span systems and network administration, cybersecurity operations, architectural design, consulting leadership, and military-grade discipline. Together, we've implemented PAM platforms at scale, strengthened attack path defenses, and repeatedly been the people enterprises rely on when security maturity has to move from "aspiration" to "execution."

Blackout Security exists because we believe companies deserve world-class PAM expertise without the ego, without the markup, and without the corporate theater. We focus on shutting down privilege-based attack paths before threats ever get a foothold creating, quite literally, a blackout for adversaries. It's what we've done for years on behalf of others, and now it's the standard we deliver under our own name.

How Are We Different?

Our Approach

Developing a Privileged Access Management (PAM) program can feel overwhelming—but it doesn't have to be. We take a strategic, phased approach that starts with a deep evaluation of your privileged account landscape. From there, we apply proven methods to reduce risk, streamline adoption, and make the transition as seamless and stress-free as possible.

Corporations often operate in highly complex environments that demand a refined, methodical approach—especially when it comes to Privileged Access Management. Whether we're onboarding thousands of accounts, implementing access controls, or building a custom password changer, we never rush in blindly. Instead, we follow a structured, three-phase framework designed to deliver effective, sustainable results without overwhelming the teams we work with.

We believe in the principle of "don't boil the ocean." Our phased approach allows us to break down even the most complex challenges into focused, manageable efforts—enabling faster wins, cleaner integrations, and room to pivot when needed.

Three-Phase Framework

1

Discovery

In this initial phase, we conduct a deep dive to identify exactly what needs to be secured or automated. This includes discovering privileged accounts, mapping existing access controls, and understanding application or workflow requirements. We engage key stakeholders early to gather insights, align on goals, and define success. This phase lays the foundation for everything that follows.

2

Design

With clear objectives in place, we shift into a collaborative design phase where we build out the tactical plan. This includes developing workflow models, determining integration points, identifying potential blockers, developing custom solutions and running early tests. We conduct weekly checkpoints with each team to ensure alignment, track progress, and validate that the solution we're building fits both the environment and the business need.

3

Implementation

Once validated, we take the design into production. This phase is highly coordinated and executed with care to ensure that implementation is seamless, and disruption is minimal. Throughout deployment, we stay in constant communication with each team, making adjustments as needed. We also conduct post-implementation validations to ensure everything works as expected—and just as importantly, that your team is confident in managing the changes moving forward.
