A Cybersecurity Website Design Agency for the
Most Skeptical Buyers in Software

WANDR designs the digital experience security buyers actually evaluate: the site, the product, and the system underneath both. A decade of research-led work for cybersecurity companies, including three years embedded with Tenable through its public offering.

"They understand what enterprise product teams need to see."

A Cybersecurity Web Design Agency That Has Shipped Inside Security Products.

Ten years. 500+ products shipped. Security buyers evaluate a vendor the way they evaluate a risk: methodically, with high scrutiny, and with almost no tolerance for anything that reads as inexperience. A site or product that doesn't communicate authority in the first session doesn't get a second one.

We spent three years embedded inside Tenable's product design organization, through its move from private high-growth to NASDAQ-listed, building the design system that hundreds of its designers and engineers still work from. We unified three siloed platforms into one product concept for Fortress Information Security, which protects seven of the ten largest publicly owned U.S. utilities. And we redesigned a Y Combinator CASB that Cloudflare acquired months later.

That matters because most agencies pitching security companies have only designed the marketing site. We've worked inside the products your buyers will be using at three in the morning.

Cybersecurity web design that held up under enterprise scrutiny.

Two case studies that illustrate what embedded UX with research, strategy and execution looks like when it ships.

ENTERPRISE CYBERSECURITY · PRE & POST-IPO

Tenable

IPOOne governed design system in place across the portfolio for the public offering.

Tenable's portfolio had grown fast across Nessus, Tenable.io, Tenable.sc, and Lumin, and the same interface problems had been solved several different ways. No shared source of truth. Engineers rebuilding components from scratch. We embedded senior product designers inside the org across two engagements, built a planar interaction framework for extreme data density, and formalized the patterns into the documented IRIS design system, while the company prepared to go public.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE · SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY

Fortress Information Security

3 → 1Three siloed platforms unified into one product concept, green-lit by leadership.

Fortress protects seven of the ten largest publicly owned U.S. utilities, and its customers had quietly stopped opening the platform. A single software analysis returned 300 vulnerabilities of which roughly 20 mattered, delivered as a 200-page monthly report with no deltas called out. One utility had dropped continuous monitoring entirely, saying they had nobody to sift through it. We ran 21 interviews across Fortress' internal teams, security officers at six utilities, and industry SMEs on a federal SBOM standard that hadn't been published yet, then designed Fortress Fusion in 14 weeks, including one of the three platforms we were never granted clearance to see.

Every engagement starts by auditing what you have against how security buyers actually evaluate vendors, then mapping the trust gaps costing you conversations. We design against that evidence rather than against an opinion in the room.

Phase 01Discover
01

Diagnose

We audit the site and the product against security buyer benchmarks. Where do enterprise prospects drop off? Where is credibility architecture failing? Where are you losing deals before sales knows the prospect visited?

Phase 02Plan
02

Buyer & User research

Interviews with the people who actually evaluate you. On Vectrix that meant eight in-depth interviews with security professionals that produced something unexpected: the product didn't fit any existing category, so part of the job became defining and owning a new one.

Phase 03Design

Trust Architecture & Strategy

Compliance signals, proof points, and technical depth sequenced for the order buyers actually assess them. Written down before a screen is designed, with each assumption stated so it can be challenged.

Phase 04Deliver

Design & Validation

Interfaces for mixed technical fluency, from the security engineer who lives in the tooling to the risk analyst evaluating on cost and outcomes. Then tested. Vectrix's redesigned flows were run by five security professionals across eight tasks before handoff.

System & Handoff

A documented design system with governance, so consistency holds as the portfolio grows. For Tenable that meant a component set hundreds of designers and engineers could build against instead of reinventing.

Why Wandr?

Cybersecurity Web Design That Earns the Enterprise Conversation.
And We Guarantee It.

01 · The team

Designers who have worked inside security products, not just around them.

Three years embedded in Tenable's product design org through its public offering. A CASB redesigned and user-tested nine weeks before Cloudflare acquired it. Critical infrastructure protection for government and enterprise stakeholders.

01
02 · THE METHOD

Buyer evidence, not brand guidelines.

We start with the people evaluating you. On Vectrix, eight interviews revealed the product didn't fit any category on the market, which changed the roadmap and the go-to-market story, not just the screens. The client's own reflection afterward: they thought the early UX work wasn't important, and it showed them what was losing their users.

02
03 · Terms

Performance guarantee.

If your product or site doesn't improve on the primary metric we agree on at kickoff within your first year post-launch, we keep working at no additional cost until it does.

03
The difference

Same powerful platform.
Rebuilt to be adopted.

Vectrix was a Y Combinator seed-stage team with a real API-driven CASB and an experience that assumed everyone had the depth of knowledge its own engineers did. In nine weeks we ran the product-market-fit research, redesigned all eight core flows, and tested the prototype with five security professionals. Here's what changed.

BeforeAfter
Before WANDR
  • First-run onboarding took 74 minutes, and new users struggled to tell whether the system was even working
  • No defined buyer and no category the product fit into, which made both roadmap and go-to-market harder to build
  • Trust broke at pricing and permissions, the two moments users had to commit
  • One set of flows serving both advanced security engineers and less technical risk analysts
After WANDR
  • 91% task success across the eight redesigned core flows in usability testing, with a System Usability Scale of roughly 83
  • Onboarding cut from 74 minutes to 24, with activation up 76%
  • A new category defined, à la carte cloud security, plus a target buyer the roadmap could follow
  • Acquired by Cloudflare in February 2022, with the full team joining

Who this is for

You understand that in security, your digital experience isn't a marketing asset. It's a trust audit buyers run on you before they agree to a conversation, and you don't get told when you fail it.

We work with CMOs, VPs of Product, Heads of Design, and founders at cybersecurity companies. Whether you're preparing for a funding round or a public offering, entering a new market, scaling an enterprise sales motion, or carrying a product whose interface no longer reflects the company you've become, we start with the buyers running the audit and design backward from what they need to see.

Frequently asked.

Click any question to expand. If yours isn't here, write to us.

  1. Security buyers evaluate vendors the way they evaluate risk, and they are looking for specific evidence in a specific order before they engage at all.  Three things follow from that:  The buying committee is unusually adversarial. A CISO assessing strategic fit, an IT director looking for integration and architecture specifics, and a procurement officer justifying spend upward each need different proof. Requiring a demo to get the technical depth reads as evasion, not gating. Compliance is structural, not a page. SOC 2, ISO 27001, FedRAMP, NIST, and sector-specific frameworks belong in the core information hierarchy. A compliance page most visitors never reach creates the trust gap it was meant to close. Specificity is the trust signal. Named clients, analyst recognition, and case studies with real outcomes carry weight in this category precisely because vague claims are so common in it.
  2. Because the evaluation happens before contact and the failure is silent. Two-thirds of the buying journey is done digitally before anyone speaks to sales, so a site that fails the trust test doesn't generate a rejection. It generates nothing.  The patterns we find most often:  Trust signals sequenced after the ask. Proof placed where the layout had room rather than where skepticism peaks. Technical depth buried. The IT director can't verify the architecture claim, so the vendor drops off the shortlist without ever knowing they were on it. The product contradicts the pitch. A polished marketing site leading to an interface that assumes the user is an engineer. Vectrix's platform could do a great deal and exposed all of it directly, and first-time users couldn't tell whether the system was working.
  3. Four things move the number more than anything else:  Whether the work is the site, the product, or both. How many buyer roles need their own path and proof, and how far apart their technical fluency sits. How much primary research is required, and whether you can give us access to security professionals or we recruit them. Whether a design system is in scope. A system costs more upfront and less over time.  We scope and price before work starts, and we'll say directly if a smaller engagement would serve you better.
  4. Yes, and inside the products rather than only around them. We spent three years embedded in Tenable's product design organization across two engagements, through its move from private high-growth to NASDAQ-listed, building the pattern library that became the IRIS design system.  We also redesigned Vectrix, a Y Combinator CASB acquired by Cloudflare in February 2022, and have designed for Fortress Information Security in critical infrastructure protection, plus Troinet and Drawbridge in managed security services and cyber risk management.
  5. By layering rather than simplifying. Vulnerability management surfaces enormous volumes at once, assets, vulnerabilities, scans, findings, and an analyst works inside that all day.  For Tenable we built a planar interaction framework that layers visualization, detail content, and actions, so depth reveals without the user losing their place, plus table and grid patterns engineered for large security datasets with advanced search, filtering, and saved views built in. The instinct to simplify is usually wrong here. Analysts need density; what they can't tolerate is disorder.
  6. Compliance signals go into the core information hierarchy, surfaced where buyers assess them rather than isolated on a dedicated page.  Enterprise buyers treat compliance credibility as part of their first-session assessment. If a site communicates product capability without addressing the frameworks it supports, buyers read the omission as a risk signal rather than an oversight. The fix is sequencing: the certification appears at the moment the claim it backs is being made.
  7. With progressive detail and plain language, so the same flow works at both ends of the fluency range.  Vectrix's buyers ran from very advanced hands-on engineers to risk analysts evaluating on cost and outcomes, and the same flows had to serve both. The engineer moving fast was tripped up by unclear permissions. The analyst needed the pricing model to make sense before anything else. Designing for the average of those two people produces a product that fails both.
  8. Look for evidence they've worked inside security products, not just on security marketing sites. The two problems share a vocabulary and almost nothing else.  Five questions worth asking before you sign:  Have you designed the product or only the website? An agency that has never handled a data-dense security interface will simplify yours until it stops working. Can you show before-and-after data from a security client? Screenshots are easy. Verified outcomes are not. How do you validate with security professionals? They're hard to recruit and rarely have time. Ask how a past engagement actually did it. How do you handle compliance in the information architecture? If the answer is a compliance page, they haven't thought about it. What metric will we measure, and when? An agency unwilling to name one before starting is unlikely to be measured against one afterward.
  9. Both. Our team can build it, or we hand off to your engineers with documented specs, interactive prototypes, and a component library. At Tenable our designers worked inside the client's own tools and workflow as an extension of the team, with engineering-ready specifications throughout.  Engineering is in the conversation before design decisions lock, so technical constraints shape the work instead of surfacing during implementation.
  10. Results depend on the problem, and the ones we can document are specific. Vectrix's redesigned flows tested at 91% task success with a System Usability Scale of roughly 83, onboarding fell from 74 minutes to 24, and activation rose 76%. Fortress went from three siloed platforms its customers had stopped opening to a single product concept that cleared leadership review in 14 weeks.  We agree on your outcome metric at kickoff, whether that's enterprise lead quality, activation, task success, or adoption. Then we back it: if the product doesn't improve on that metric within your first year post-launch, we keep working at no additional cost until it does.
