Karakor Consulting advises law firms and mid-market organisations on cybersecurity, secure software architecture, and privacy-first AI infrastructure. Operator-led engagements, scope-disciplined delivery.
A boutique consultancy serving organisations that handle sensitive data. We assess, harden, and build — operating under NIST CSF, with delivery led by practitioners, not account managers. Chicago metro. Engagements nationwide.
Three practice areas. Scoped engagements, written boundaries.
Legal Technology & Security
The wedge practice. Secure infrastructure, document architecture, practice-management modernisation, and private AI advisory for law firms operating under privilege.
Cybersecurity
Assessment, hardening, secure architecture review, vendor risk, incident readiness, and live response. NIST CSF-aligned, scoped to your environment and threat model.
Software & Private AI
Secure software development and on-premises AI deployment. For organisations building systems that hold sensitive data, or that cannot send work product to third-party models.
Legal Technology & Security.
Modernising infrastructure, security, and workflows for law firms — including private AI advisory and on-premises deployment for firms that cannot send privileged data to third-party APIs.
In beta · 2026Drafting, research, matters, documents, billing, and court e-filing — in one offline-first workspace. No client data leaves the firm.
Three principles. Every engagement, every deliverable.
NIST CSF, scoped to your stack
Cybersecurity engagements follow the NIST Cybersecurity Framework — identify, protect, detect, respond, recover — calibrated to your environment, your threat model, and your size. Not a one-size template.
Built secure by default
Software we build assumes adversaries from the start — identity, secrets, audit, and trust boundaries are first-class concerns, not features added later. The same discipline that runs our cyber practice runs our engineering practice.
Privacy by architecture
Privacy is a design constraint, not a compliance line. Systems we build cannot leak data they were never given access to. Systems we assess are measured against the same standard.
Practice notes from the work.
We respond within two business days. Scoping calls are obligation-free and run thirty minutes.
