Reducing Risk in Every Dimension™
Understand your exposure. Act on what matters.
SIXDEV connects findings across physical, digital, and human risk to help you choose sites, protect operations, and strengthen security. We work with industrial and critical-minerals businesses, infrastructure owners, and financial-services and other regulated organizations.
Organizations building capacity and protecting critical operations.
Plants, processing facilities, and companies adding capacity.
We assess dependencies on raw materials and critical supplies, host facilities, utilities, and transport corridors alongside operational technology (OT), cybersecurity, and recovery risks. For domestic sites and overseas expansion, we identify conditions that could affect supply, production, cost, and readiness.
Sites, facilities, acquisitions, expansions, and unfamiliar operating environments.
We assess utilities, logistics, physical and operational dependencies, digital exposure, and human factors that can affect cost, schedule, resilience, and readiness.
Security and technology programs where exposure, resilience, and accountability matter.
We strengthen cybersecurity programs spanning exposure management, application security, security testing, logging, remediation governance, reporting, and transition while connecting technical findings to business consequence.
Familiar services. A wider view of what can affect the outcome.
Most engagements begin with a specific service need. SIXDEV works across three dimensions and connects them when the decision depends on more than one.
Sites, facilities, infrastructure, and operations.
Remote site screening and location intelligence; country conditions affecting access and operations; utilities, infrastructure, and transport corridors; dependencies on host facilities; physical security, recovery, resilience, and single points of failure.
Cybersecurity, systems, applications, and technical exposure.
Exposure and vulnerability management, including continuous threat exposure management (CTEM); application security and secure development; penetration testing and security validation; OT security; logging, remediation governance, reporting, and program buildout.
People, counterparties, ownership, and decision authority.
Counterparty, ownership, and integrity research using public records; project financing and vendor dependencies; access, escalation, and decision authority; key-person and recovery dependencies; process gaps; and social-engineering validation when in scope.
Start with the question in front of you.
A proposed location. A stack of assessments. A decision that needs stronger evidence. We define the work around what you need to resolve.
Remote Site Screening
Before you commit capital, know what has to be true.
We combine advanced satellite and airborne remote-sensing data with public records, infrastructure and route analysis, and counterparty research. This can include newly tasked, high-resolution commercial satellite imagery collected for your site and time window, radar observations, airborne light detection and ranging (LiDAR) elevation data, and hyperspectral imagery where relevant and available.
These sources help verify construction progress, assess terrain and drainage, and screen for ground movement or changes in surface materials and vegetation before major spending on travel, surveys, engineering, or construction.
The assessment shows what the evidence supports, what remains uncertain, and how key risks could affect cost and schedule. Where alternatives are in scope, we compare them on a consistent basis.
- A decision brief with the conditions for proceeding
- Maps of critical infrastructure and dependencies
- Prioritized risks and illustrative cost scenarios, with assumptions and confidence levels
- A focused plan for document requests and field verification
Specialist data sources, acquisition costs, and collection windows are agreed before commissioning. Remote screening focuses subsequent site visits, surveys, and specialist reviews.
Discuss a potential siteCross-Domain Findings Review
Turn separate findings into a shared set of priorities.
We read existing assessments, studies, and reviews together across physical, digital, and human dependencies. We show how the findings connect and identify which conclusions should change priorities.
The review starts with your existing evidence. Any additional testing or validation is identified and scoped separately.
- A decision brief focused on business consequence
- A map showing how risks connect and compound
- A prioritized action plan and evidence register
- A working session to agree decisions and next steps
Suitable for organizations with multiple reports and no unified view of what matters.
Discuss your existing findingsMonitor the site as your project evolves.
SIXDEV's site monitoring tracks developments at the location and across the infrastructure, counterparties, and operating environment your project depends on. New infrastructure, construction progress, secured financing, ownership or regulatory changes, and disruptions can improve the outlook or introduce new risk. Our analysts assess what material changes mean for cost, schedule, and viability, helping you decide whether to proceed, adjust plans, accelerate, or pause.
Evidence for consequential decisions.
Selected examples show how technical and operating questions become evidence, priorities, and practical next steps.
Test the assumptions behind a proposed location.
SIXDEV assessed a proposed industrial processing facility using satellite imagery, public records, route analysis, and counterparty research. The review connected utilities, transport, host-project funding, and operating dependencies to potential delays and disruption. It compared location options, developed illustrative cost scenarios, and identified conditions for proceeding, evidence still required, and a targeted diligence plan.
Make application security repeatable.
In a prior role, SIXDEV's founder brought assessment, secure development practices, remediation, governance, and executive reporting into one operating model, giving engineering and security a repeatable path for ongoing ownership.
Turn an architecture concern into evidence for a funding decision.
Leadership suspected information technology (IT) and OT networks were less separated than the architecture diagrams claimed, but suspicion does not fund remediation. In an earlier role, SIXDEV's founder used packet-level analysis to document live traffic crossing trust boundaries the organization believed were closed. The conversation moved from whether the risk was real to what it would take to close.
Screen the market before capital moves.
Across prior professional roles, SIXDEV leadership evaluated more than 2,000 sites against a repeatable model, supporting acquisitions across 16 states within a portfolio that exceeded $500 million in value. The screening model helped eliminate unsuitable sites before diligence and capital commitment.
See the whole mission, not just the route.
A maritime logistics company bidding on an overland fuel mission needed more than a route study. In a prior role, our founder assessed threat activity, terrain, road and bridge conditions, communications coverage, vehicle reliability, convoy security, and contingency requirements as one problem. The bid went out grounded in the risks that actually shaped the operation, with mitigations identified before commitment rather than discovered in execution.
Defined engagements. Clear outcomes. Clean transition.
Each engagement is scoped around the exposure or capability that needs to change, with clear deliverables and ownership.
We agree a fixed fee, deliverables, and schedule before work begins.
Find what actually matters.
Review the current state, validate what is real, clarify dependencies, and identify the risks and gaps that carry meaningful consequence.
Define and move the priority work.
Define the conditions for proceeding, assign owners, and focus validation, testing, and remediation on the priorities that can change the outcome.
Hand it over cleanly.
Leave documentation, reporting, operating guidance, and a practical action plan the client can sustain after the engagement ends.
SIXDEV uses purpose-built tools and artificial intelligence (AI) to support research, mapping, correlation, and reporting. Qualified practitioners review the evidence and own the final recommendations.
Know what supports the recommendation.
We distinguish verified facts, reported claims, analytical judgments, and unresolved questions. For forward-looking assessments, we separate the likelihood of an event from our confidence in the supporting evidence. Material conclusions explain what supports them, what remains uncertain, and what would change the assessment.
Senior-led throughout. Our founder remains directly involved in analysis, client discussions, and final deliverables from kickoff through transition.
What are you trying to protect, build, evaluate, or expand?
Tell us the decision, exposure, or capability you need help with. We will tell you whether it fits SIXDEV and what a practical next step looks like.
A first conversation runs about 25 minutes and ends with a straight answer on whether this is work SIXDEV should do, work your team can handle internally, or work that belongs somewhere else.
