Cybersecurity and AI governance for regulated institutions.

Red Stick Solutions is based in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Baton Rouge is French for “red stick”, and the firm takes its name from the city.

Our approach.

The institutions that ask us to test and strengthen their security are now asked to account for their use of AI as well. We help with both, working from the same evidence.

The team that scopes your work delivers it and stays with it afterward.

How the work is organized.

Technical delivery

Cybersecurity

Security assessments, offensive security (Continuous Offensive Security Testing (COST), Red Team, Purple Team), detection and response design, platform reviews and the vulnerability program. Findings are written by the people who ran the testing, and each carries its rank and the reason for it.

Governance and advisory

AI governance and security leadership

vCISO engagements, security program ownership, board and leadership reporting, and the AI governance practice. Where a question turns on the legal reading of an instrument, counsel owns it, and we say so.

Testing and advice are kept apart, so no one grades their own work. Before you see a deliverable, it is read against its scope and checked for any finding the evidence does not carry, then reviewed and signed off before it leaves the firm.

Advice not tied to a product sale.

Our advice is not tied to product sales. If Red Stick Solutions ever holds a commercial relationship with a product or platform it discusses with you, that relationship is disclosed to you in writing before it can affect the advice.

Red Stick Solutions will not assess or test a security program it owns as virtual CISO for the same client in the same period. Where a client wants both, the assessment or the test goes to a third party and this firm helps select one.

So an answer may be a settings change, a smaller project, a referral or nothing. If we are not the right firm for this, we will say so and tell you what we would do instead.

Client work stays with the client.

Red Stick Solutions does not publish client names, logos or engagement details, or anonymized accounts of client environments. We publish the work, sourced.

References are provided at proposal stage, under NDA, on request.

Four subjects we present.

For bankers associations, credit union leagues and professional chapters: the board packet after the Cybersecurity Assessment Tool; a nonbank mortgage lender's rulebooks at once; which notification clock starts, and when; what a written AI systems program contains. Ask by contact form, with audience and date.

What must you prove, and to whom?
