On the same side of the table.

Yaam means we: the people on the same side of the table. We are a security and engineering studio in Tamil Nadu, India. Most of our work starts as a penetration test and does not end there.

Where the name comes from

யாம் (Yaam) is Sangam-era Tamil for “we”. Not “we” as in the vendor. “We” as in the people on the same side of the table. Your perimeter becomes ours, and so does the problem inside it. It is a promise we try to keep on every engagement.

• Your perimeter becomes ours.
• Your critical is our next hour.
• Your ship date is our deadline.

Who we are

A small team of operators working across time zones. Everyone here does the technical work. Nobody here sits between you and it.

• Operator-led. Everyone on an engagement is doing the work. There is no layer between you and the person at the keyboard.
• Small by design. We stay small so the people who scope the work are the people who run it, and the people who run it write it up.
• Working worldwide. Working across time zones with startups, scale-ups, banks, health networks and DeFi protocols.

What we hold to

Four things we will not trade away, on any engagement, for any client.

• The finder writes it up. The engineer who finds the bug writes the report. Nothing is handed to a writer who was never in the system.
• Proof over severity. A rating without a reproduction is an opinion. Every finding we report ships with a proof that runs, mapped to CWE and rated with CVSS v4.0.
• Nothing held back. Findings reach your channel as they are confirmed. Anything critical is reported within the hour, not saved for the last day.
• Your name stays yours. Mutual NDA and PGP on request. Evidence is encrypted and access stays least-privilege. Client names and findings stay undisclosed unless a client asks us to publish.

What is already on the record

Research acknowledged by Apple, Microsoft, Google OSS VRP, Facebook, Twitter, Adobe, Intel and the U.S. Department of Defense.

These are acknowledgements of research, not client relationships.

One team, three practices

The same people run all three. That is the whole point: the engineer who tested your system is the one available when you need the fix built.

• Offensive Security. Web, mobile, network, cloud and smart-contract testing, plus red teaming and source-code review. Everything here starts by finding what an attacker would find first.
• Managed Security. Retained work that runs after the report lands: attack surface management, security operations, on-demand risk reduction, audit evidence and hardening.
• Engineering and AI. Web and mobile products, platform and cloud engineering, AI-native systems and business automation, built to the same standard we test against.
• Brand and Growth. Digital marketing, brand management and a named account manager, run by a studio that also builds and secures what the work points at. Measured honestly, applied consistently, owned by one person.
