Security Training and Documentation That Produces What You Deploy
Courses that end with detection rules in Sentinel, architecture decisions in ADRs, and investigation playbooks tested against real attack chains. Documentation toolkits your auditor recognizes as professional work. All built by practicing security engineers.
You Recognize One of These.
“I just got handed security for our M365 tenant.” You need to design Conditional Access, configure Defender, and present a defensible architecture to leadership.
“I’m a SOC analyst and AI is doing my L1 job.” Detection engineering, threat hunting, and DFIR are the path forward. You need structured depth that gets you there.
“Our security program needs to survive an audit.” Policies, risk registers, and evidence trackers built by practitioners who have sat across from auditors.
“I’m transitioning into security from IT.” Start with the free Admin to Defender course. Progress into any specialization. Every course is self-contained.
“I need to upskill my team without the SANS price tag.” Business plan gives your team courses plus documentation toolkits. One investment, both capability and governance.
“I need to prove capability, not just knowledge.” Every course ends with a scenario-based exam and a verifiable credential. The artifacts you built are the proof.
Courses That Build Security Engineers
Every course ends with artifacts running in your environment. You write detection rules that fire on real attack chains. You produce architecture decisions documented well enough for an auditor to read and move on. You investigate incidents using the same evidence and tooling you will use on the job. The courses do not describe what good looks like. They make you build it. From $179/year. See pricing →
Governance Documentation That Closes Audit Findings
Your auditor opens the folder and finds policies that map to your actual controls, risk registers that reflect real decisions, and compliance evidence organized the way they expect to see it. Every toolkit is built by practitioners who have sat on both sides of the audit table. You are not editing a template with your logo on top. You are deploying a governance program that works. From $497. Customization from $1,997 →
Prove You Are Running the Program
Documentation defines what your security program is. Applications prove you are operating it. Ridgeguard answers questionnaires, assesses vendors, governs policies, measures gaps, and publishes your security posture to prospects. It runs on your machine. Your data never leaves your network. No SaaS subscription, no cloud dependency, no $30,000 platform.
Questionnaire Response
Import a 200-question spreadsheet. 790 pre-written answers auto-match 60–80%. AI fills the gaps using your company profile. Export in the original format.
Vendor Risk & Policy Governance
Risk-tiered vendor register with assessment history and certification tracking. Policy lifecycle from draft to retirement with evidence linking and staff acknowledgements.
Gap Assessment & Trust Center
80-question gap assessment with a prioritized remediation plan. Publish a Trust Center so prospects check your posture before they send the questionnaire.
What Students Deploy
Design and Deploy Production-Ready Capabilities
Students design and implement production-ready capabilities; for example, in the Threat Detection Engineering course, you will build and deploy high-quality detection rules mapped to ATT&CK techniques across attack chains.
Architecture Decision Records
MSA students produce a portfolio-grade architecture package with ADRs, risk registers, and executive summaries.
Free Learning Resources
All our courses include free modules with actionable deliverables designed to enhance the learning experience and teaching quality. Try the exercises, then decide.
These are real course artifacts. The detection rule is from Threat Detection Engineering. The ADR is from M365 Security Architecture.
Before and After
You Google KQL queries during incidents and hope the syntax is right.
Your team has detection rules running in production that they wrote, tested, and tuned.
Architecture decisions are verbal. When the auditor asks why, you reconstruct from memory.
Every architecture decision is documented in an ADR. The auditor reads it and moves on.
Your security policies are templates from the internet with your logo on top.
Your governance documentation was built by practitioners who understand your controls.
