About Rivia LLC

Securing Innovation Every Phase, Every Layer

Rivia exclusively serve U.S. companies, ensuring all security expertise, data handling, and support remain 100% onshore—delivering uncompromised compliance, accountability, and protection at every step.

The Challenge Rivia Solves

The digital economy is plagued by systemic security vulnerabilities—unchecked offshore subcontracting, persistent IP theft, hidden compliance breaches, and unsupervised production access. Companies frequently lose millions as proprietary codebases vanish overseas, while customer data breaches and manipulated security audits often go undetected. Rivia addresses these challenges by bringing transparency, accountability, and robust protection to every layer of your business.

Why Me?—Your U.S.-Only Security Partner

I founded Rivia to break this cycle by operating solely in the U.S. and serving only U.S. organizations. Every engagement, technical resource, and support interaction is handled onshore.

What this means for your business:

No offshore subcontracting or hidden vendors

Intellectual property and PII remain under U.S. jurisdiction

Compliance is maintained without shortcuts

Direct access to me as your security architect—no faceless outsourcing teams

My Mission

Protect U.S. businesses by embedding defense-in-depth security across cloud infrastructure, AI/ML systems, and modern development pipelines—enabling innovation without the risks of IP theft, data breaches, compliance failures, or offshore security gaps. Through exclusively onshore operations, Rivia delivers transparent, accountable cybersecurity that safeguards proprietary assets, customer data, and competitive advantage at every layer of the technology stack.
