Your Data Deserves Someone Who Spent 15 Years Protecting It

Ryan Nichols is the founder of Rain Automation. Before writing business software he spent 15 years in cybersecurity, leading Red Team operations, building Blue Team defense programs, and serving as CISO for a payment service provider responsible for protecting transaction data, PCI compliance, and enterprise risk. He writes the code, answers the phone, and is accountable for what ships. Rain Automation is based in Atlanta, one founder, one number: (404) 323-5695.

The company exists because of a pattern that kept repeating in small businesses: five, eight, sometimes twelve SaaS subscriptions that did not talk to each other, with client records sitting in vendor systems nobody fully controlled. The fix is one connected system, built to fit the business, owned by the business, and secured the way a security professional would insist on. Every system ships with authentication, encryption, access controls, and infrastructure hardening designed in from day one.

Rain Automation works best with service businesses of 1 to 50 people that are paying for tools that do not talk to each other and losing time to manual work they cannot yet justify hiring for. It is not a fit for Fortune 500 procurement cycles or for buyers who want a finished product with no ongoing relationship. Industries delivered for include real estate, general contracting, home services, coaching, e-commerce, and party and event rental.

On the question every custom software buyer asks, what happens if the developer disappears: you own the code from day one, documentation ships with the product, the stack is React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and TypeScript so any experienced full-stack developer can pick it up, and the architecture is built for handoff readiness. By the numbers: 50+ automation implementations, production platforms with real revenue at stake, 15+ years in cybersecurity, and no portal ownership, investor alignment, or third-party data-sharing arrangements.
