About

Built by operators.
Run by operators.

GreenHat was founded on a simple observation: the best security advice comes from people who've built and operated security programs, not from people who only audit or advise from the sidelines.

Our Story

From operator to advisor to builder.

GreenHat started when Anthony Green saw the same pattern repeatedly: companies hiring security consultants who could identify problems but couldn't help fix them. Auditors who checked boxes but missed real risks. Vendors selling tools that solved problems no one actually had.

The answer was to build a company that does all three — advise, build, and audit — with the structural integrity to keep each function independent where it matters.

Today, GreenHat operates as three distinct pillars: a boutique security advisory practice, a GreenHat Labs that builds tools the market actually needs, and an independent assurance entity for SOC 2 audits.

Structure

Three pillars. Clear boundaries.

How we operate.

Operator-Led

Every engagement is led by practitioners who've done the work, not just studied it.

Structurally Independent

Advisory and audit functions are separated by governance, not just policy.
