Tenchi’s Essence: Who We Are and How We Grow

By Nathalya Haywood, Head of People at Tenchi Security

At Tenchi Security, we believe culture is the starting point for everything. Before we started growing and even sought investment - or launched our solution, we already knew who we were and what our purpose was. That clarity shapes every decision, hire, and challenge we face to this day.

For us, culture isn’t just a pretty statement on a wall. It’s what guides our actions, even when no one is watching.

Born Remote and Intentional

We chose to be a 100% remote company from the very beginning - not out of convenience, but because we believe talent isn’t bound by zip codes and that geographic diversity brings strength and innovation.

This choice only succeeds when paired with intention and intensity. To us, intention means acting with clarity about the impact we want to make, understanding the “why” behind every decision. It’s about having purpose in every action, rather than just “doing things for the sake of doing them.” Intensity, in turn, means putting your full energy into every initiative, going beyond what’s expected, and committing wholeheartedly to the results we aim to achieve.

Working remotely goes far beyond having the right tools. It’s about creating an environment where everyone knows where we’re headed, feels part of the journey, and trusts one another. We maintain clarity, rituals that connect us, and a shared sense of responsibility - so although we're physically apart, we stay connected and deliver our best together.

What We Value

  • We are driven by purpose. We believe in the power of people who dream big, create new things, and face challenges daily with energy and courage.
  • We make decisions with responsibility and clarity, knowing that every choice leaves a mark.
  • We act like owners, treating each delivery as if it were unique.
  • We move with agility, without compromising our standard of excellence.
  • The customer is at the center of everything: we listen carefully, understand deeply, and deliver solutions that exceed expectations.
  • We explore the unknown with a pioneering spirit, seeking creative solutions to complex challenges.
  • And we do it all with passion - the fuel that turns dedication into results.

Here, every person matters. We value those who align with our purpose and are ready to build together, because great achievements only happen when everyone rows in the same direction.

Our living culture shows up every day, everywhere - and it shows:

  • On the way we welcome new team members.
  • In the feedback we give (and receive).
  • In the courage to admit mistakes.
  • In the clarity to say “no” when needed.
  • In celebrating victories, big and small.

More than a set of words, our culture is practical, present, and intentional. It’s what allows us to move forward every day.

If you want to be part of something big from the start, where every voice counts, every delivery matters, and freedom comes with responsibility and real impact, Tenchi is the place for you. Come build the future with us.
