We find and fix every vulnerability in our customers' applications. When a new AI model is released, we run it against their applications before attackers do, and close what it finds.
Wakefield is an applied research lab working on AI-native security services. We build security agents and publish how they work. Our methods, benchmark and raw data are public so anyone can check them.
Source code optional: blackbox agents sign in as every role and test the running app. Whitebox agents read the code on every pull request.
If Wakefield can't prove it, the customer never sees it: agents replay each finding in a real browser and record it. Then Wakefield writes the fix, ready to open as a pull request, and retests it. We have SLAs for zero false positives.
One service that replaces DAST, SAST, SCA, SBOM, and the tests companies run in-house or buy in.
Wakefield runs a lot of its own work with agents. You'll work directly with the founders and own the work that keeps them and the company moving, including deciding what a person should handle and what an agent should: founder support, recruiting coordination, customer meetings, company logistics, and the systems behind them.
Founder calendars, inbox triage and travel.
Recruiting coordination: interview scheduling, work trials and candidate logistics.
Customer meetings and briefings: scheduling, preparation and follow-up.
Company logistics, the office, and admin like NDAs and records.
Dinners and events, from guest list to follow-up.
