About Redacted
At a glance
Redacted is a cybersecurity company specializing in Security Operations, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Austin, United States. It has raised $60M in total funding, employs about 1,074 people, and is privately held.
Redacted is a cybersecurity services firm founded in 2015 by Max Kelly (former CSO of Facebook and NSA alumnus) and John Hering (co-founder of Lookout). The company is led by CEO Jim Hansen, a former COO of both Cofense and Mandiant, and offers a range of managed and advisory cybersecurity services to businesses across various industries. Core service offerings include virtual CISO (vCISO) services, incident response, and security program development. The vCISO offering provides organizations with part-time, experienced security executive leadership — typically 20 hours per month — to help build, manage, and refine security programs. This service is positioned for organizations that are not ready to hire a full-time CISO but require strategic security guidance, such as startups reaching funding milestones, companies undergoing M&A activities, or businesses expanding into regulated industries. The company also operates a separate government-focused division led by CEO Tim Kosiba, a former DoD and FBI cybersecurity official, suggesting Redacted serves both commercial and public sector clients. Redacted's advisory services address areas such as identity and access management policy, compliance with regulations like GDPR and CCPA, ransomware recovery, and security program buildout following security incidents. The firm takes a consultative approach, aiming to embed security practices into an organization's culture and create sustainable control environments rather than prescriptive, rigid frameworks.
