About Dawnguard

Dawnguard’s mission is to redefine cybersecurity with a platform that enables true shift-left security—from day zero to day 10,000.

We embed security directly into system architecture, before a single line of code is written. Our AI-powered platform automates design validation and generates production-ready Infrastructure as Code (IaC) across AWS, Azure, and GCP.

At Dawnguard, we believe security should be proactive, collaborative, and cloud-native. We’re rewriting the DNA of cybersecurity—driven by curiosity, integrity, and resilience.

We start with real customer problems—no tech for tech’s sake. We speak with honesty, even when it’s hard. We think independently, challenge assumptions, and welcome bold ideas that push us forward. We break things to understand them, then build something better. And when we see a problem, we own it.

If that sounds like you, let’s talk.
