Stratascale – an SHI company

What Stratascale – an SHI company does

Stratascale is the dedicated cybersecurity services division of SHI International Corp., a privately held enterprise technology solutions provider. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Stratascale delivers professional cybersecurity services to large enterprises, including 33% of the Fortune 100. Its service portfolio spans four pillars: Governance, Risk & Compliance (executive tabletop exercises, risk management, compliance alignment); Security Architecture (CNAPP accelerators, OT segmentation, Modern Access Browser solutions built on Zero Trust and SASE principles); Advanced Threat Operations (Continuous Threat Exposure Management, offensive security, penetration testing); and Managed Services (continuous threat defense powered by proprietary intelligence).

The underlying technology stack combines proprietary frameworks with deep research outputs. Stratascale's Cybersecurity Research Unit (CRU) has discovered 275 zero-day vulnerabilities—including CVE-2025-56590 and CVE-2025-56589—and stopped 12,593 true-positive threats, producing a proprietary evaluation framework for cloud security and CNAPP Accelerators. The firm also publishes a quarterly Cybersecurity Brief and vulnerability advisories that feed its managed services offering. AI capabilities are integrated rather than foundational: Stratascale leverages third-party platforms (Nvidia, Kamiwaza) for AI-powered automation (e.g., Section 508 accessibility compliance) and discusses agentic AI for threat detection and governance.

Commercially, Stratascale operates an enterprise field sales motion under a consultative, product-agnostic methodology. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; engagements are initiated through contact forms and custom-quoted as professional services. Go-to-market is conducted primarily through the Americas, with distribution leverage from SHI's enterprise customer base, hardware/licensing capabilities, and technology partner ecosystem (HPE, Nvidia, Tanium, Omdia). The firm employs 251–500 staff and reported an 86 NPS score, reflecting high customer satisfaction among its enterprise security buyer base.
