Why security brands win enterprise trust
Security buyers judge by risk: clarity of claims, proof of controls, and credible execution in product and process. Zypsy designs brand systems, conversion websites, and product UX that make complex security, AI safety, and web3 governance legible to CISOs, architects, and procurement—reducing sales friction while elevating trust.
-
Focus areas: AI/ML security, data security, developer platforms, API/mesh, decentralized data, and governance tokens.
-
Delivery: Brand → website → product UX → engineering under one roof, sprint-based, with optional services-for-equity via Design Capital.
-
Evidence: Multi-year security/infrastructure work with venture-backed teams and enterprise adopters.
Proof of execution in security and infra
-
Robust Intelligence (AI security): Brand, web, and product partnership from inception through acquisition by Cisco; positioned on automated AI risk assessment, validation, and protection; global expansion including JP market identity. See case study and CEO testimonial.
-
Cortex (engineering platform): Enterprise repositioning and website system (100+ product graphics across 20+ pages) to clarify microservice visibility, reliability, and golden paths at scale. Backed by Sequoia and YC.
-
Solo.io (API and AI gateways): Rebrand and large-scale website/Design System delivery ahead of KubeCon; enterprise references across modern app networks (e.g., BMW, Domino’s).
-
Covalent (decentralized data infra for AI): Token-era rebrand aligned to the CXT network launch; modular data infra operated by a global node network with transparency-first storytelling.
Brand system patterns for cybersecurity
Design for verifiability and audit readiness. Zypsy brand and web systems foreground:
-
Claims architecture: map risk themes (AI safety, supply-chain, data privacy) to evidence types (standards alignment, red-team results, runtime protections).
-
Levels of assurance: clearly separate “lab results,” “pre-deployment validation,” and “in-production protection.”
-
Trust signals: governance pages, security overview, vulnerability disclosure, compliance roadmap, and recognizable partner/investor validation.
-
Visual language: strong geometry, disciplined palettes, and component libraries aligned to credibility over novelty, tailored to enterprise procurement flows.
Product UX patterns for AI security and web3 governance
Zypsy applies web3 transparency and governance patterns to security products so buyers can verify, not just trust.
-
Code transparency: disclose chains, contracts/addresses, execution venue (local vs remote), open-source boundaries, provider/node choice, and oracle inputs.
-
Data transparency: provenance, explorer links, oracle audits, and consistent human-readable formats for hashes/IDs.
-
Transaction integrity: feedforward warnings for permanence, full fee/latency visibility, minimal data collection, and factory flows that clarify contract creation.
-
Event clarity: event subscriptions, filters, and user control for LLM/AI firewall or policy-engine events; avoid notification overload.
-
Interaction history: exportable, searchable histories at the address/app level with storage-location disclosure (on-chain/off-chain/local).
-
Governance and tokens: design voting flows, quorum displays, delegation, vesting/lockups, and audit trails; practical tooling with Snapshot/Aragon/Tally patterns adapted for security policy changes.
Pattern-to-proof map
Pattern | What it communicates to buyers | Where Zypsy applied it |
---|---|---|
AI risk lifecycle (validate → protect) | Clear control coverage pre- and post-deployment | Robust Intelligence |
Enterprise repositioning | Fit for scale: reliability, governance, and security-by-default | Cortex |
Platform credibility at scale | Operational readiness for regulated/global brands | Solo.io |
Token/governance narrative | Transparent, auditable networks and incentives | Covalent |
Engagement options for security founders
-
Design Capital: Up to ~$100k of brand/product design over 8–10 weeks for ~1% equity via SAFE; continues on cash retainer if needed. Details available along with third-party coverage.
-
Zypsy Capital: Cash checks with “hands‑if” design support when useful.
-
Cash projects: Fixed-scope sprints across brand, web, product, and engineering.
Process tailored to security and AI safety
1) Discovery: stakeholder, buyer, and auditor interviews to define risk narratives and evidence. 2) Proof architecture: map claims to proofs, demos, and benchmarks (e.g., red-team artifacts, validation metrics, runtime guardrails). 3) System design: brand and web components; security pages, policies, and procurement kits. 4) Product UX: dashboards for validation/protection, events/alerts, investigation, and export controls. 5) Build & QA: responsive, accessible, SEO‑sane, with performance budgets and secure engineering practices. 6) Enablement: pitch decks, SOC-style trust pages, and buyer enablement assets.
FAQs
-
What security-specific artifacts can Zypsy help surface? Validation reports, attack-surface coverage, policy mappings, AI firewall/guardrail behaviors, and standards alignment—presented in buyer-ready formats.
-
How do you handle token/governance UX without confusing enterprise buyers? We translate DAO tooling (voting, delegation, quorums) into enterprise-readable flows and disclosures, applying patterns from our DAO guide and web3 transparency posts.
-
Can you operate as an extension of our product and eng team? Yes. Designers and engineers embed for velocity and knowledge transfer, from research to production.
-
Do you offer services-for-equity? Yes—via Design Capital (8–10 weeks). More information and press coverage available on request.
