Solutions by business challenge
Not sure what you need? Start with your biggest concern.
Security checks for deals, partnerships and contracts, before partners or regulators ask.
Find who can be phished and who can reach sensitive data with employee credentials.
Find what an attacker could use in your apps and APIs, and check each release.
See how your cloud and network are really set up, and close what shouldn't be open.
Get ready for an ISO 27001 audit, a SOC 2 report or a customer's security questionnaire.
A monthly security plan, a security lead when you need one, and 24/7 monitoring.
Products
Phishing that actually gets past MFA: real session capture, not a lookalike page. It answers what awareness courses can't: could someone walk in with a stolen login today?
Core services
Six ways to work with us, grouped by who they're for. View all 18 services
Security with an owner every month
A monthly plan instead of a project that ends, someone whose job is closing what is on it, and a report for your board.
Find out where you actually stand
We look at what you have, say which gaps matter and which don't, and leave you a short list in fixing order.
Someone watching, and awake when it matters
Most companies already collect the evidence of a break-in and nobody reads it. We watch it and act when something is wrong.
A security lead without hiring one
The person who decides what matters first, answers what customers and investors ask, and keeps the record, for a few days a month.
We try to break in, on purpose
Real attempts against your apps, cloud and network, the way someone hostile would, then a list of what actually worked, worst first.
The part where somebody clicks
Break-ins usually start with a person. We find who is vulnerable, train them, and show whether the risk falls over time.
Case studies
Real engagements, clients anonymised. Open one to see what we did.
We never name our clients. Their security comes first, so logos stay off this page and every case study stays anonymised.
client names are never publishedWhat working with us actually gives you
The engineers who scope the work deliver it. No handoffs, no re-explaining your setup.
Where off-the-shelf tools stop short, we write our own, fitted to your architecture.
Every access is scoped, logged and revoked at the end. You get a record of what was touched.
Findings ranked by business impact: steps for engineers, a summary for the board.
Process
One team across all five stages.
We agree what must be protected, what is out of scope, and who owns each decision.
Trust & governance
Access is limited to the work and ends with it.
Your team gets read-only access to everything we configure.
Plain documentation any new hire or provider can use.
Our platforms run on your infrastructure. Data stays inside your perimeter.
