-## Security That Respects You
+## Security, with Intent
 
-At **Network Pro Strategies (Network Pro&trade;)**, we deliver network security
-and engineering, cybersecurity, and digital privacy consulting with clarity,
-credibility, and care. We believe that real security doesn’t have to come at the
-cost of user autonomy, and that privacy-minded solutions can be both practical
-and powerful.
+At **Network Pro Strategies (Network Pro&trade;)**, our work centers on
+advancing practical security, infrastructure resilience, and digital privacy
+through research, development, education, and advocacy.
 
-Our approach is built on a simple principle: **the best security is the one that
-fits.** That means we don’t push ideologies—we apply what works. We advocate for
-and implement **free and open source solutions** where they offer competitive
-functionality, control, and visibility. When proprietary platforms are better
-suited, we deploy them responsibly and securely—ensuring every recommendation is
-grounded in **technical merit**, **scalability**, and **client goals**.
+We design, operate, and study real-world systems with a focus on understanding
+how security works in practice—not just in theory. Our goal is to produce clear,
+credible guidance and tools that respect user autonomy, scale responsibly, and
+reflect the realities of modern infrastructure.
+
+Where appropriate, we also apply this work through limited consulting
+engagements, offering focused expertise in network security, cybersecurity, and
+privacy engineering for organizations seeking intentional, well-reasoned
+solutions.
 
 ### What We Do

+community.

+Rather than operating as a traditional consultancy, our engagement model
+prioritizes depth, intent, and alignment. Consulting work is approached as an
+extension of our internal projects and research—not as a volume-driven service
+offering.
+
+At Network Pro&trade;, we believe strong security comes from understanding
+systems deeply, communicating clearly, and designing with purpose. Our goal is
+not scale for its own sake, but meaningful work that advances security practice,
+privacy awareness, and resilient infrastructure.
