Turnaround Security

Turnaround Security is a cyber security solutions company dedicated to turning around the security posture of organizations.

The mission of Turnaround Security is to tackle “hard problems” in the information security and privacy domains, innovate creative solutions, and bring them to market. AppSec DesignerTM is their flagship product. Their principals have experience as Chief Information Security Officer, Enterprise Security Architect, Security Engineer, DevOps Engineer, Process Consultant, Lead Product Demonstrator, Paralegal, Game Developer, Programmer, and Electronics Engineering. They have served major corporations and government agencies, including the United States Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, The United States Mint, The World Bank Group, Barclays, IBM, General Dynamics C4 Systems, Lockheed Martin, The Vanguard Group of Investment Companies, Chrysler, Visa International, Verizon Communications, United Services Automobile Association (USAA), UnitedHealth Group, U.S. Department of Justice, Hostess Brands, Revlon, Neiman Marcus, and Bloomingdale’s. The concept that spawned the creation of Turnaround Security had its roots beginning in 2014, with their founder working as an Enterprise Security Architect on a large government project. Faced with development leads that created system security plans that were lacking in quality, the ideas leading to AppSec DesignerTM were born. Prototypes were built and presented to various Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP) chapter meetings, Shmoocon Epilogue, and the 2016 SABSA conference in Dublin, Ireland. A Provisional Patent application was filed in July 2017. In October 2017, they launched a Kickstarter fundraising campaign to raise $60,000 for product development.
