The company and the inventor behind OmniAxis.
OmniAxis is operated by Omni Cyber Solutions LLC and was designed and built by Glenn Hurn, one of its co-founders. This is who we are, who we serve, and the principles we hold ourselves to.

Meet the inventor
Built by someone who has sat in every chair at the table
More than twenty five years of Glenn Hurn's career went into vendor decisions, seen from four very different vantage points. The question was the same in all of them, and it was never which product had the longer feature list. It was what the business would be able to do once the thing was deployed, and whether the vendor could still stand behind that a year later.
- Inside the business
Built the systems, then had to live with them
Software engineering, IT and security architecture, and IT operations. Years spent integrating, running and eventually replacing products that somebody else had chosen, which is where the distance between a datasheet and a deployment stops being an abstraction.
- Accountable for it
Answered for decisions other people made
Chief Information Security Officer and Chief Privacy Officer. Whoever has to defend a vendor decision to a board, a regulator or a customer is seldom the person who made it, and almost never has the reasoning in front of them when the question arrives.
- Auditing and advising
Tested other organizations' decisions against the record
Chartered firm auditor and consultant, brought in to examine controls and vendor arrangements on the evidence behind them rather than on the strength of the relationship, and to write the finding when those two disagreed.
- Across the table
Built, positioned and sold the products being assessed
Product management, marketing and sales leadership on the vendor side. Knowing how a capability claim is assembled, who signs it off, and how much of it survives a technical proof is not cynicism about vendors. It is the reason grading them fairly is possible at all.
Roles and sectors, without naming employers or engagements. Confidentiality obligations from security, privacy and audit work outlast the work itself, and a founder page is a poor place to start making exceptions.
Welcome
Why I built this
I have looked at technology decisions from every side of the table: building and running the systems, answering for the risk, auditing the choices other people made, and selling the products being chosen. The view changes completely depending on where you sit. The problem does not.
What I could never get, from any of those seats, was a straight answer to which claims had been tested and which had only been repeated confidently. The deck reads the same either way, and the person defending the decision eighteen months later is left assembling a justification out of memory and old email.
Every company I worked inside or alongside had the same two problems underneath that one. Evaluating on outcomes rather than feature lists was understood to be the right thing to do and was done by hand, so it cost what a team of people costs and happened once. And whatever it concluded went stale while it was being written up, because vendors ship, get acquired, or quietly stop investing in the product you are about to standardize on.
OmniAxis is the thing I wanted in every one of those roles. It asks the same questions of every vendor in the same order, so two evaluations months apart are comparable, and it is re-checked on a schedule rather than rebuilt from scratch whenever somebody needs an answer.
If there is one thing I would ask of anyone evaluating it, it is to hold it to what it cannot do as firmly as to what it can. I would rather you finished knowing exactly where its limits are than be persuaded by a tidy demonstration.

Who we serve
One evidence engine, three seats
What each seat gets from OmniAxis is set out on Who it's for. In short:
Advisor
Advisory firms and consultants who choose technology for their clients.
OmniAxis for advisorsVendor
Technology vendors and their resellers, checking where their own claims stand.
OmniAxis for vendorsOperating principles
What we will and will not claim
In a market full of over-claiming tools, restraint about our own claims is the trust signal. These hold for everything we publish about ourselves.
Our figures say what kind they are
Any number we publish about value or time saved is labeled as what it is, an illustrative model with its assumptions stated, and never dressed up as a measured result.
Nothing is presented before it exists
A capability still being built is described as direction, never as available, and anything that depends on setup says so.
No borrowed credibility
No fabricated logos, no invented customer quotes and no implied endorsements. If a trust marker appears here, we can stand behind it.
