About

Security built by people who care how data gets handled.

Empire 325 Security is the cybersecurity division of Empire 325. We exist for one reason: too many businesses are leaking the data their customers trusted them with, and most don't even know it.

We started where most exposures are found in the real world — watching how ordinary businesses, agencies, and software teams handle the sensitive information they collect. The pattern is everywhere: an API key left in public code, a database reachable from the open internet, a backup bucket nobody secured. None of it requires a sophisticated attacker. It just requires someone to look.

So we decided to be the ones who look — with permission — and then help close the gap. Not to exploit it, not to embarrass anyone, and never to use what we find against the people who trusted us to find it. That principle is the whole company.

Who's behind it

Led by the team behind Empire 325.

Empire 325 Security was founded by Milton Acosta III, founder of Empire 325. After years of helping businesses grow — and seeing again and again how quietly their customer data was being exposed along the way — he started the security division to fix the problem at its source. The team works hand in hand with our marketing and software divisions, which means we understand the fast-moving, real-world way businesses actually collect and handle data.

How we operate

Security you can trust, done the right way.

  • Authorized only. We never access a system without written permission and a defined scope.
  • Responsible disclosure. Findings go to you, privately and clearly — never to the public or your competitors.
  • Your data stays yours. We minimize what we touch, document everything, and hand back a safer system.

Let's make your data harder to steal.
