WHO WE ARE
THE ONE STP
Go from zero visibility to a fully mapped risk and compliance program in minutes. Powered by Cyrus Cybersmith, STPONE is the discovery and intelligence engine that translates basic operational inputs into prioritized risk insights.
A Foundation that Scales on Equity
Our founder, Darren Kearl, forged his career over three decades in the rigorous U.S. regulatory environment, designing enterprise IT audit, compliance, and cybersecurity architecture for critical infrastructure. Throughout those thirty years, he witnessed a disturbing trend that continues to jeopardize the global economy today: Enterprise-grade Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) has become a privilege for the few.
While large corporations deploy multi-hundred-thousand-dollar budgets and dedicated security teams, growing businesses face identical compliance mandates and even harsher cyber threats—yet are priced out and left defenseles.
Viewing this disparity as a profound social injustice, Darren founded The One STP to dismantle the myth that small businesses are too small to target and to bridge the Resilience Gap through empathy, equity, and technological innovation.

The San Francisco Effect
The ethos of The One STP was deeply shaped by Darren’s hands-on work with the City of San Francisco’s advocacy and non-profit sectors. Working alongside mission-driven community organizations taught him a fundamental truth: Advocacy is the greatest competitive advantage.
Witnessing firsthand how rigorous technical frameworks directly protected human welfare redefined his entire approach to risk management. By empowering advocacy entities and growing enterprises to scale confidently without security and compliance barriers, he enabled founders to stop fighting administrative bureaucracy and focus entirely on what matters most: the business of making a difference.
Today, those foundational systems remain in active use by Bay Area organizations—a lasting testament to our founder’s enduring legacy of service-driven security engineering.
Machine Speed. Human Validated. The Real Human-AI Hybrid.
To solve the SME resilience crisis, The One STP engineered Cyrus Cybermith, the world’s first truly human-AI hybrid GRC and risk orchestration platform.
Accessible Resilience
Enterprise GRC tools like OneTrust or ServiceNow cost between $80,000 and $500,000+ per year. Vanta & Drata, between $7,000 & $10,000 covering only one framework. Cyrus Cybersmith delivers enterprise-grade multi-framework maturity (covering 414 standards and 23 US state privacy laws) at a fraction of legacy costs.
True Human-AI Hybrid
We eliminate alert fatigue and manual spreadsheet drain. Cyrus Cybersmith analyzes live operational risks in seconds, while our veteran CISOs provide expert human validation and strategic oversight whenever complex decisions arise
Continuous Maturity
We replace static, quarterly compliance snapshots with continuous risk fabric orchestration that evolves as your business grows.
