For the work an internal team cannot grade itself on: an authorized penetration test before a customer or auditor asks, and an outside review of the infrastructure design. We fix what we find if you want us to.
Penetration testing, infrastructure and hosting for Needham Crossing
N2 corridor on Route 128
Does Kief Studio work in Needham? Yes.
Needham Crossing is the town's business district between Route 128 and the Charles River, and Needham describes it as a high tech center that is also home to many life science companies. It is one of the two business parks in the N2 corridor, the stretch along I-95 and Route 128 that Needham, Newton and their regional chamber designated together. Kief Studio does the work those companies tend to buy from outside: penetration tests before a customer audit, infrastructure that holds up when the product grows, and hosting on LTFI with someone watching it. The studio is in Shrewsbury.
A software company in N2 already has engineers. What it often lacks is someone outside the team to attack the product the way a customer's security reviewer will, and to fix the infrastructure findings that come back. That is a narrow, useful job, and it is where we usually start in a place like this. Needham also has four stops on the MBTA Needham Line, including Needham Heights and Needham Junction.
