Service lines
Embedded governance
Embedded governance that closes the gaps between business strategy, operations, and technology delivery, so that projects and organisations move forward safely. The service this site describes.
Scqr [secureal]
Our engineering practice: ICT consulting, cybersecurity, application development, server and network building, education and seminars. It runs OBSD Solutions (OpenBSD consulting and support) and Affordance Design Studio (web and ICT design).
Independence of advisory from engineering
Advisory under our embedded-governance service never presupposes engaging Scqr, our engineering practice. We do not recommend our own implementation services in the course of advisory; where a client wants both, they are contracted and staffed separately.
The principal
About the practitioner who actually does the work, and the stance behind the practice.
Four perspectives, four certifications
We bring four perspectives to every engagement: strategy, architecture, audit and risk, and security. Each is backed by a national certification.
- IT Strategist (IPA): purpose, priorities, decision criteria, and trade-offs
- Systems Architect (IPA): business, product, operations, development, and organisation seen as one structure
- Systems Auditor (IPA): failure modes, accountability gaps, and governance risks surfaced early
- Registered Information Security Specialist (IPA; Gold badge, registered for over seven years): security and control built into the design
In ICT since 2006. Engagements in Japanese and English, remote-first, based in Osaka (JST).
Stance
Close enough to the work to understand it, far enough back to keep perspective. Decisions stay inside the organisation; the work is to organise the material so the call can be made well. Failure is not framed as someone's fault — the energy goes into structures in which failure is harder.
Information handling and NDAs
Except where required by law, documents and information entrusted to us are used only for the engagement in question. They are kept in encrypted storage on managed devices and in the cloud, with access limited to what the work requires; work devices use disk encryption and screen lock. At the end of an engagement, documents are deleted or returned. Where a client requires it, we work inside the client's own environment. An NDA can be signed before the first meeting, on the client's template or ours.
Policy on the exclusion of anti-social forces
Reflerd Inc. has no relationship of any kind with anti-social forces and does not respond to their improper demands. To prevent harm, we cooperate with the police and other external bodies as needed and respond firmly as an organisation. If a business partner is found to be an anti-social force, we will not deal with them, or will end the relationship under the contract.
Where the name comes from
re:flerd combines three roots. "re" stands for reliability engineering — a posture of designing for systems that cannot afford to stop. "fler" is the Norwegian word for "more than one", which mirrors the practice of holding multiple stakeholder positions in proportion. "d" is daemon: a quiet companion process that does its work in the background.
Talk to us
We can start from organising the situation. No prep deck, no internal sign-off needed beforehand. Whatever you can share is enough to begin.
