How we work

Security is a step in every project

01

Assess

We review your current setup, costs and risks, then give you a written plan with a fixed quote.

02

Build

We build everything in code with Terraform and pipelines, so it can be rebuilt and audited at any time.

03

Test

We security-test the result with AI tools, and a person confirms every finding before you see it.

04

Run

We hand over documentation, or look after the platform for you on a monthly plan.

Security testing

Find the gaps before attackers do

AI-assisted, human-verified penetration testing for web apps, APIs and AI features. Fast enough to run on every release, and sized for growing businesses.

  • AI and chatbot featuresChecked for prompt injection and data leakage using the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications.
  • Cloud configurationCloud settings reviewed in the same engagement.
  • Tested only with your written approvalEvery test has an agreed scope and time window.
