About L7S

Experienced practitioners focused on clearer website decisions.

Layer Seven Solutions, LLC is a small security consultancy focused on public website issues that affect trust, buying friction, and customer confidence. The MAPS framework keeps that work organized across Mobile, Accessibility, Performance, and Security.

Who does the work

Experienced engineers, not an anonymous scan.

L7S combines structured technical evidence with practitioner judgment to explain what matters, why it matters to the business, and what a developer or vendor should do next.

Why Layer Seven exists

People responsible for a website often have to choose between expensive agency reviews, generic automated tools, and vague recommendations that are hard to act on. L7S exists to provide a more useful first diagnostic step: focused scope, plain language, and practical remediation guidance.

The approach is intentionally focused, practical, and easy to interpret by both business stakeholders and technical teams.

How we keep the scope honest

  • Work begins with public website evidence, not private systems or logged-in workflows
  • Technical observations are mapped to recognized guidance such as OWASP and WCAG where appropriate
  • Business impact is explained before anyone is asked to make a technical decision
  • Scope limits and non-claims are stated directly
