Your security product design should be based on user research.

Security firms like Carbon Black and ThreatConnect work with us to grow their customer base and raise funding.

We design and build cybersecurity applications, not for you, but for your CUSTOMERS at any stage in the life cycle.

While we’re concerned with building digital products the right way, we first, and more importantly, make sure the RIGHT product is being built. Thorough user testing—early and often—is the key to achieving business goals.

Since 2001, we've helped over 350 companies, from startups to enterprise.

Our work together helped bring on new customers, gave our investors a clear picture of Aembit's near future, and helped close our Seed round of funding.

We could talk about our "process," but you probably care more about results.

Let's start with an assessment of your current product.
We have been able to build upon the designs [Sodium Halogen] provided for years even as our own products continue to evolve.

We highly recommend involving them in the earliest stages.

Our Work

Featured: Sevco Security

Challenge

The head honcho at Sevco came to Sodium Halogen with an idea for a platform to solve an ongoing pain point in cybersecurity: proper cloud based asset management that delivers real-time asset intelligence. We have worked with him several times in the past, with the most recent being 2014-2015 while he was at CarbonBlack, so he knew our capabilities and experience working in the cybersecurity sector. The what and why were figured out, but not the how.

Approach

We have a full process available, but its real power is in its flexibility to suit the needs of any client. In Sevco's case, we did a mini Strategy Session along with a slimmed-down Discovery Workshop, since they had already covered that information. They also chose to use their own Project Manager, Dev team, and Brand team, leaving Sodium Halogen's role focused solely around Product Design and User Testing.

Results

Our experience with building cybersecurity platforms helped us design and build the Sevco app from zero to launch in nine months, with an MVP available in just three months, allowing the sales team to secure early contracts.


"Sodium Halogen helped us get over a huge hurdle at a time when it was critical - I was feeling a ton of angst about our project timelines in September - deadlines were looming and we didn't even have a user interface. Sodium Halogen made it all disappear, and we ended up with a highly differentiated user interface that has been a key selling point in 90 days.

Summarize that: In September, we didn't have a user interface. By Jan 1, we not only had a user interface, but had a major purchase for the product!

To get there is incredible, and we couldn't have done it without you!"

Maybe you've heard challenges like these from your team:

“We have engineering talent, but we need help with how the app looks and works.”
“We’re ready to scale, so we need a killer design and user experience.”
“Our first version of the app is ‘functional’, but it’s ugly and hard to use.”

Challenges like these can be solved by creating intuitive interfaces and simplified workflows that crush client expectations.

You can replace that uncertainty you feel with the confidence of features constantly validated by targeted user-testing. 

For the past 10 of our 22 years, we’ve worked with cybersecurity companies to design digital products that find product market fit, hit sales targets, and help their customers get important work done.
