Find the Gaps Before Attackers Do

Authorized penetration testing and security assessments for applications, cloud, and AI systems — with clear findings your team can act on.

Every system has weaknesses.

We find them, explain them, and help you fix them.

Our engineers build production software and AI systems, so we test the way your systems are actually built and used. Every engagement runs under a written scope and rules of engagement, and ends with findings your developers can act on — not a wall of scanner output.

What We Test

Security Testing Services

From a single application to your whole environment — testing, review, and the support to close the gaps.

  • Authorized, hands-on testing that shows how a real attacker would approach your systems — and exactly what to fix first.

    What We Test

    • Web applications and customer portals

    • iOS and Android applications

    • REST and GraphQL APIs

    • External and internal networks

    • Authentication, sessions, and access control

    What You Get

    • Executive summary in plain language

    • Technical findings ranked by risk

    • Step-by-step reproduction for each issue

    • Remediation guidance your developers can act on

  • Security built into how software is written, not bolted on at the end. We review code and design so issues are caught before they ship.

    What We Deliver

    • Manual secure code review

    • Threat modeling for new features and products

    • Automated scanning set up in your CI/CD pipeline

    • Dependency and supply-chain risk review

    • Secure development training for your team

    Use Cases

    • Pre-launch review of a new product

    • Reviewing work from an outside vendor

    • Building a secure development lifecycle

  • Most breaches start with a misconfiguration. We review your cloud and infrastructure setup against best practice and show you where the exposure is.

    What We Review

    • Azure and AWS configuration

    • Identity, roles, and access management

    • Network segmentation and exposed services

    • Secrets, keys, and storage permissions

    • Logging, monitoring, and backup readiness

    Use Cases

    • Hardening a new cloud environment

    • Reviewing an environment after rapid growth

    • Preparing for a customer security questionnaire

  • AI features introduce new kinds of risk. Because we build AI systems ourselves, we know where they break — and how to test them.

    What We Test

    • Prompt injection and jailbreak resistance

    • Sensitive data leakage through model outputs

    • Tool and plugin permissions for AI agents

    • Retrieval pipelines and data access boundaries

    • Guardrails, abuse handling, and logging

    Use Cases

    • Chatbots and assistants facing customers

    • Internal AI tools with access to company data

    • Healthcare AI handling patient information

  • Security is not a one-time test. We help you set up a sustainable program that finds, prioritizes, and closes issues continuously.

    What We Deliver

    • Recurring scanning across apps and infrastructure

    • Risk-based prioritization of findings

    • Remediation tracking and retesting

    • Patch and configuration baselines

    • Regular reporting for leadership

    Use Cases

    • Ongoing assurance between annual tests

    • Managing a growing backlog of findings

    • Showing progress to customers and boards

  • Practical help getting ready for audits and customer reviews — with healthcare privacy experience from our work in clinical AI.

    What We Deliver

    • Gap assessments against SOC 2 and ISO 27001 controls

    • Privacy and security reviews for PIPEDA and PHIPA

    • Security policies and incident response plans

    • Answers to customer security questionnaires

    • Evidence preparation ahead of an audit

    Use Cases

    • Closing an enterprise or healthcare deal

    • Preparing for a first audit

    • Responding to a vendor risk assessment

How It Works

Every engagement follows the same careful process.

  • Scope & Authorize

    We agree on targets, timing, and rules of engagement in writing before any testing begins.

  • Test

    Manual testing backed by tooling, run carefully to avoid disrupting your operations.

  • Report

    Clear findings ranked by risk, with an executive summary and a walkthrough call.

  • Retest

    Once fixes are in, we verify them and update the report so you can show the result.
