In my last post, I shared that SimplyCubed evolved into Lean Security, a rebrand that reflected more than a new name. It represented a mindset shift from traditional consulting toward repeatable, scalable systems for security and growth.
While our mission remained the same, the delivery model became structured around intellectual property, automation, and systemization creating more value for clients while reducing effort and complexity.
A Systemic Approach to Security Transformation
Traditional security is bloated, expensive, and reactive. Lean Security challenged that by introducing a structured operating system for modern security programs, one built around automation, iteration, and measurable outcomes.
We designed three layers of engagement to match every stage of maturity:
Book + Resources (Do It Yourself) - Learn the core frameworks and mindset.
Accelerator (Do It With You) - Guided implementation using standardized playbooks, automations, and daily/weekly feedback loops.
Implementers (Do It For You) - Dedicated Lean Security specialists who deploy and optimize systems directly inside client environments.
Each level followed the same principle: reduce effort, increase leverage through systems and automation.
Why Build in Public
Lean Security wasn’t just a service, it was an experiment in system design and transparency.
By documenting our process publicly, we invited collaboration, learned faster, and built trust through openness.
That approach — building small, testing quickly, automating continuously — became the foundation of what I now call FounderOS.
FounderOS takes those same principles and applies them beyond security: to product growth, AI automation, and operational systems that help founders build businesses that run themselves.
From Lean Security to FounderOS
Lean Security taught me that security, when done right, is about designing resilient systems, not adding layers of control. FounderOS extends that thinking into every part of a business.
It’s not about doing more; it’s about engineering systems that create results automatically, whether that’s protecting data, onboarding customers, or scaling operations securely.
What’s Next
As I continue building in public, I’ll share how these ideas evolve, from security frameworks to complete business operating systems powered by automation and AI.
If you’re working on making your business leaner, more secure, or more systemized, I’d love to connect.
What challenges are you automating or simplifying in your business right now?
