About Client Focus

Client Focus is a technology company that builds, runs and secures systems for organizations operating on public blockchains. The firm was formed around engineering work for banking, payments and blockchain programs, and now delivers those systems together with the operations function that supports them.

Engineering and operations in one organization

Public blockchains changed the operating clock rather than the discipline. Value moves at any hour, settlement is final, and there is no back office able to reverse an error after the fact. Organizations therefore need a standing operations function rather than a project team.

Client Focus provides that function. Blockchain engineering builds the service, cybersecurity defends it, artificial intelligence keeps the alert queue readable, and a combined security and network operations center runs it with named accountability at every escalation level.

The three disciplines explained

The Client Focus mark is three overlapping rings. The top ring is blockchain, the left is cybersecurity and the right is artificial intelligence. Each pair of rings overlaps at an edge capability, and the point where all three meet is the combined security operations center and network operations center.

Blockchain and cybersecurity
Contract, key management and infrastructure assurance for systems that hold value on public networks.
Blockchain and artificial intelligence
Automated analysis of live chain data, applied to detection, reconciliation and operational reporting.
Cybersecurity and artificial intelligence
Alert scoring and pattern clustering that place the highest-risk events in front of an analyst first.
The center: SOC and NOC
Security and network operations run on one floor, under one escalation chain, so availability and security decisions are not separated.

Where Client Focus sits in a client environment

Client systems and signing authority stay with the client. Client Focus builds and operates the integration and network layers, and runs security operations across the whole path.
