One flagship engagement. Five orbital ways to start.
Olympus is the firm's flagship: a continuous application-security
service that runs a closed agentic loop inside your tenancy.
Most clients arrive on Olympus through one of five orbital
engagements — an audit, a red team, a board-level read on AI
exposure, a one-off code review, or an incident. Every
engagement begins with a seventy-two-hour scope conversation
and ends with a written attestation. There is no slideware in
between.
Olympus · The flagship
Continuous application security, delivered as a closed loop.
Mill Creek operates Olympus inside your tenancy under a named
partner engagement. The loop is the offering: three sprites
running continuously against your codebase, with monthly
attestation to your audit committee and a four-hour incident
response SLA bundled in.
We do not stop at advisories.
Vulcan ships the pull request.
Adversarial reconnaissance
Nemesis
Continuously probes your sanctioned agents, integrations,
and tool-use surface. Operates at machine pace; reports
with replayable evidence and tool-call provenance.
Tenant-scoped — never leaves your VPC.
Source-aware audit
Delphi
A multi-agent council that reads your code against your
policy library, grades findings by impact and likelihood,
and drafts the remediation plan. Each finding lands with
a named human owner.
Pull request, not advisory
Vulcan
Drafts the actual code, IAM, and policy changes that
close the finding. Opens a pull request like any other
contributor; your engineer reviews and merges. The diff
is preserved with the finding. Rollback plan attached.
Scope
Continuous coverage of your application security surface — agents, integrations, browser tools, document pipelines, and the source repositories that compose them. Quarterly recalibration of the policy library with your CISO.
Engagement
Twelve-month commit. Thirty-day exit window each quarter, with no reason required. Comes online inside ten business days of signing.
Fee posture
Monthly retainer. Tiered against monitored surface area; published rate card available on request. Incident response bundled at four-hour SLA.
Engagement lead
Partner-led. Named CIO Council seat assigned for the duration of the engagement. Reachable to your CIO and VP Engineering throughout.
Deliverables
Continuous loop coverage, monthly attestation to the audit committee, quarterly policy-library review, replayable evidence per finding, four-hour incident-response SLA.
We say yes to
Engineering organizations whose application surface is now too large to be a once-a-year project. Boards that want a written security signal between audit cycles. CTOs willing to merge security PRs at the same cadence as feature work.
We say no to
Replacements for an in-house security team. Engagements where the goal is to reduce headcount rather than to raise the floor. Codebases the engineering team is not prepared to refactor against findings.
Three scoped engagements that often convert into Olympus
adoption. For boards and engineering leaders who want a tested
read before committing to the recurring service.
I. Assess
Application Security Posture Audit
A two-week, fixed-fee read across every sanctioned and shadow
agent in your environment, plus the integrations they touch.
Output is a board-ready exposure map, a prioritized
remediation queue, and a one-page attestation that an
engineering leader has actually walked the work. Most
clients move to Olympus inside the same quarter.
Scope
Every sanctioned and shadow agent in scope, plus the integrations they touch. Code review of the agent harness; configuration review of the runtime.
Duration
Two weeks of engagement, plus a one-week findings clinic.
Fee posture
Fixed fee. Scope-locked at signing. Credit applied toward the first quarter of Olympus on conversion.
Engagement lead
Partner-led. Named at proposal. Reachable to the CIO and VP Engineering throughout.
Boards that have already approved at least one production agent and now want to know what the change actually exposed. Compliance-aware industries with audit cycles inside ninety days.
We say no to
Pre-deployment evaluations of vendor agents. Procurement-led RFP responses. Anything where the deliverable is a deck, not a tested narrative.
II. Red team
Adversarial Sprite Engagement
A scoped, project-based engagement using Nemesis without the
continuous loop. Live red team against your agents,
integrations, and tool-use surface, conducted under written
rules of engagement, with your legal and incident-response
leads in the loop from day one. The deliverable is replayable
evidence, not a narrative. Theater stays out of the report.
Scope
A negotiated test surface. Out-of-scope items are listed by name in the engagement letter.
Duration
Four to six weeks. Two weeks of testing, one week of triage, one to three weeks of evidence finalization.
Fee posture
Scoped engagement. Fee structured against the agreed test surface. Credit applied toward Olympus on conversion within ninety days.
Engagement lead
Partner-led. Co-runs daily standup with your incident response lead.
Deliverables
Replayable transcripts with tool-call provenance, validated findings with severity scoring, executive read-out, audit-grade evidence pack.
We say yes to
Production agents handling regulated data, customer communications, or code execution. Engagements where legal and incident response can join the daily standup.
We say no to
Tests where we cannot agree what is out of scope. Engagements run as marketing exercises rather than security exercises. Theater.
III. Audit
AI Audit
A board-level deliverable on agentic AI exposure across the
organization — sanctioned agents, vendor systems with
agentic features, internal tooling, and the policies that
govern them. Written for an audit committee, not a
technical reader. Often the entry point for boards
specifically asking about Mythos-class risk.
Scope
Inventory and risk classification of every agentic system in scope, including vendor systems. Policy review against current regulatory posture.
Duration
Three weeks of engagement, plus a one-week board-readout cycle.
Fee posture
Fixed fee. Scoped against the agentic surface area at signing.
Engagement lead
Partner-led, with named CIO Council seat in the room for the board read-out.
Deliverables
Agentic inventory, exposure classification, policy gap analysis, board-ready read-out, regulator-ready timeline of agentic adoption decisions.
We say yes to
Boards that have asked their CISO a question the CISO cannot yet answer. Audit committees with imminent regulator engagement on AI exposure. Insurers requesting written posture.
We say no to
Marketing exercises dressed as audits. Engagements where the board is asking for cover, not clarity.
Tier II
Standing services.
Two services we offer alongside Olympus and as standalone
engagements. Both are bundled at preferred terms for Olympus
clients.
IV. Review
Secure Code Review
A manual and Delphi-assisted code audit for codebases not
yet on Olympus. Used by engineering teams ahead of an
architectural pivot, a regulated launch, or as a
proof-of-concept engagement before adopting the continuous
loop. The deliverable is a prioritized remediation backlog
and, where Vulcan applies, opening pull requests for the
highest-impact items.
Scope
A defined codebase or service boundary. Static analysis, manual review, Delphi audit pass, optional Vulcan PR drafts on highest-impact findings.
Duration
Three to six weeks, scaled to codebase size and depth requested.
Fee posture
Scoped engagement. Fee structured against codebase size and depth. Reduced rate for Olympus clients.
Engagement lead
Senior engineer-led, partner-reviewed. Daily standup with your engineering owner.
Engineering teams ahead of a launch, an architectural pivot, or an acquisition. Codebases where the engineering owner is empowered to act on findings.
We say no to
Reviews where there is no named engineering owner. Engagements where the goal is a clean report, not a fixed codebase.
V. Respond
Incident Response, Agentic-Aware
Built for incidents where the suspect is software that was
authorized to act on its own. A four-hour response SLA for
Olympus clients, twenty-four hours for everyone else. Mill Creek
brings the engineering, the sprites, and the partner who
will sit on your call until the incident is closed. We are
the people you want already on the call before legal joins.
Scope
Live incident triage and containment. Forensic preservation. Direct support to your CISO, legal counsel, and incident commander.
Duration
Through containment. Continued through post-incident review on request.
Fee posture
Hourly during incident, against a pre-agreed engagement rate. Olympus clients invoke at standing rate without a separate scope conversation.
Engagement lead
Partner on the call within SLA. Engineering muster within hours of dispatch.
Deliverables
Containment plan, forensic evidence preserved to audit standard, written post-incident review, regulator-ready timeline.
Within four hours
Hour 0Page received. Partner on the call. Forensic preservation begins.
Hour 1–2Triage with your incident commander and legal counsel. Containment hypothesis under review.
Hour 3–4Containment underway. First written timeline drafted for executive and legal sign-off.
We say yes to
Incidents where an authorized agent took an unauthorized action. Suspected compromise of a tool-use surface. Cases where speed and evidence quality both matter.
We say no to
Cases that are clearly not security incidents. Engagements that need a body in a chair rather than a partner on a call. Ransomware negotiations.
Selected work
Three engagements, anonymized.
Specific clients and figures are withheld pending publication
consent. Each item below is structured the way the eventual
named write-up will be: situation, intervention, outcome.
U.S. health system · 50,000+ employees
A clinical-coding agent with broader authority than anyone realized.
Situation. A clinical-coding
agent had been quietly extended with read access to a
patient-facing scheduling system. The change was made
under an existing approval; nobody escalated it.
Intervention. Mill Creek ran
the two-week posture audit. We mapped the agent's
effective authority, not its declared authority. The gap
was twenty-six integrations wide.
Outcome. Authority reduced
to the eight integrations the owner could justify on the
call with the audit committee. Client moved to Olympus in
the same quarter; first month's attestation went to the
audit committee on schedule.
Federal civilian agency · mission-side
A red-team engagement that changed the procurement language.
Situation. The agency was
about to procure an agentic case-management product. The
security team had concerns but no leverage in the
procurement conversation.
Intervention. Mill Creek ran a
four-week adversarial sprite engagement against a vendor
demo environment. Replayable evidence of three exploitable
behaviors.
Outcome. Procurement
language amended to require contractual remediation of all
three. The vendor accepted. The procurement closed.
Global asset manager · AUM mid-eleven figures
A four-hour response that did not become a regulatory event.
Situation. An Olympus
client paged Mill Creek when a research-summary agent began
posting drafts to the wrong distribution list. Possible
material non-public information exposed.
Intervention. Partner on
call within seventeen minutes. Containment by hour three.
Forensic evidence preserved to the standard the firm's
counsel had set in advance — captured automatically by
Olympus during the loop.
Outcome. Disclosure not
required under the firm's regulatory framework. Internal
review concluded inside the same business day. Olympus
engagement renewed.

Engagements with a named executive sponsor at CIO, CISO, or VP Engineering level.
Production agents handling regulated data, customer communications, or code execution.
Boards with a written deadline for a tested risk narrative.
Engineering organizations willing to merge security pull requests at the same cadence as feature work.
Work where senior counsel and engineering are both in the room.
We say no to
Procurement-led RFP responses without an executive sponsor.
Engagements where the deliverable is a deck, not evidence.
Tests we cannot agree the boundaries of in writing.

Standing order
Tell us which engagement is yours, or tell us none of them is.
The forty-five-minute briefing is run by a partner, under
non-disclosure, and ends with a written read on whether the
fit is Olympus, one of the orbital engagements, a different
conversation, or no engagement at all. We hold a small number
of intake slots each month for board-sponsored work.
