/ the problem

Most breaches start with something boring.

Not zero-days. A forgotten server, a reused password, a portal without MFA. The gap is usually visible from the outside if someone bothers to look.

68%

involve a human element

Phishing, stolen credentials or a simple misconfiguration were part of the chain.

212 days

average time to identify

Without monitoring, attackers sit inside a network for months before anyone notices.

1 in 3

of our first tests find a critical

Usually an exposed admin panel, unpatched VPN or default credentials on a device.

Illustrative figures for demo purposes, based on the kind of industry breach reporting security firms cite.

/ services

Offense, defense and a plan for the bad day.

Use one service or combine them. Every engagement ends with a prioritized fix list and a walkthrough with your team.

SVC-01 · Test

Penetration testing

Senior testers attack your external network, web apps, cloud and internal environment the way a real adversary would, then show you exactly how they got in.

  • External & internal network
  • Web app & API (OWASP)
  • AWS / Azure / M365 config
  • Free retest within 90 days

  • EDR + identity monitoring
  • Host isolation in minutes
  • Monthly threat report
SVC-03 · Train

Phishing & social engineering

Realistic phishing, vishing and pretext campaigns tailored to your company, followed by short training for the people who clicked.

  • Custom phishing campaigns
  • Phone pretext tests
  • Department-level results
  • Micro-training modules
SVC-04 · Prepare

Incident readiness & vCISO

Incident response plans, tabletop exercises and a fractional CISO who helps leadership answer customer questionnaires and audit requests.

  • IR plan & playbooks
  • Executive tabletop exercise
  • SOC 2 / ISO 27001 readiness
  • Board-level reporting
/ self-assessment

What's your security risk score?

Eight questions, about three minutes. You get an indicative score and the top gaps to close first. Nothing leaves your browser.

Answer to see your score

    Your top gaps appear here as you answer. Higher score means more exposure.

    Indicative self-assessment only, not a security audit. A real assessment requires testing your environment.

    / process

    A typical penetration test, start to finish.

    Most external tests run two to three weeks from kickoff to report.

    Day 0

    Scope call

    We agree targets, rules of engagement and testing windows. You sign off before anything is touched.

    Days 1–2

    Recon

    We map what an attacker sees: domains, exposed services, leaked credentials, staff footprint.

    Days 3–10

    Testing

    Manual exploitation by senior testers. Critical findings are reported the same day, not at the end.

    Days 11–15

    Report & retest

    Executive summary, technical detail and a fix list. We retest free once you've patched.

    Questions security leads ask us

    Will testing disrupt our production systems?
    We agree testing windows and exclusions up front, avoid denial-of-service techniques unless asked, and stop immediately if anything looks unstable. Most clients notice nothing.
    Who actually does the testing?
    Senior, US-based employees with OSCP, OSWE or CISSP certifications. We don't subcontract testing or hand it to automated scanners.
    Do you work with our existing IT provider or MSP?
    Yes. Many engagements are requested by MSPs who want an independent test. We coordinate directly and share findings with whoever you choose.
    Can you help with SOC 2, HIPAA or cyber-insurance requirements?
    Our testing and vCISO work produce evidence that auditors and insurers commonly ask for. We're not an audit firm and can't certify compliance, but we prepare you for the people who do.
    What if we're under attack right now?
    Call our incident line at (555) 018-7700. Existing clients are prioritized; new clients can engage emergency response under a short-form agreement.

    Know your exposure by next week.
