A scanner tells you what it saw. We tell you what it means.
Dice is a boutique cybersecurity company built for high-consequence environments.
Our work is manual, deliberate, and grounded in the way adversaries actually operate. Every engagement begins with intelligence, explicit authorization, and rules of engagement that protect your operation while giving our team room to think.
01
Authorize precisely
Before a packet is sent, we define what is in scope, what is not, and who can stop the work.
02
Think like an operator
We use intelligence and context to pursue meaningful attack paths—not a catalog of findings.
03
Leave a clear signal
Your team gets the evidence, decision context, and debrief needed to move with confidence.
Compliance is not the finish line. It is the operating context.
For government contractors and high-assurance organizations, Dice connects technical evidence to the risk decisions that keep a mission moving.
NIST / RMF
Evidence with a decision path.
01
Categorize & frame
Clarify mission impact, data sensitivity, system boundaries, and the risks that matter to the authorizing official.
02
Select & assess
Map technical assessment work to NIST control intent, security requirements, and the evidence your program must defend.
03
Authorize with confidence
Turn findings, residual risk, and remediation priorities into a clear package for authorization and executive review.
04
Monitor continuously
Retest changes, validate remediation, and keep the system’s risk picture current as the environment evolves.
Coverage where the
stakes are real.
From a single application to a connected enterprise, we shape the operation around your risk—not our tooling.
DICE.ADVISORY
Advisory & strategy
Translate technical exposure into a prioritized plan your operators, board, and budget can act on.
Controlled enough for the mission. Sharp enough to matter.
A clear operating rhythm keeps the work safe, focused, and useful from first brief to final debrief.
Reconnaissance
We establish context, intelligence, scope, and the attack surface worth pursuing.
Validation
We test hypotheses manually against agreed rules of engagement, preserving operational control.
Evidence
We document the path, impact, and proof so the finding can survive technical scrutiny.
Debrief
We close with executive clarity, technical depth, and an honest conversation about what comes next.

operator mindset // technical depth
Built by someone who knows the cost of an unclear signal.
Ryan Dozier is a nuclear submarine officer veteran and deeply credentialed cybersecurity leader with 16 years across Department of Defense and Intelligence Community environments.
That background shapes the company’s posture: disciplined preparation, explicit boundaries, calm under pressure, and an insistence that technical work ends in a decision someone can make. Dice brings a senior practitioner’s attention to every engagement.
“The goal is not to create more noise. It is to expose the path that changes the decision.”
