What We Do

Security services built
for real businesses

Every engagement is scoped to your actual environment — not a generic checklist. We find what matters, explain what it means, and help you fix it.

Vulnerability Scanning

We systematically map your external and internal attack surface — open ports, outdated software, misconfigured systems, exposed credentials — and deliver a prioritized report of what to fix first.

Starting at $499

Penetration Testing

We go beyond scanning — our certified testers actively attempt to exploit weaknesses the way a real attacker would, then document exactly what they found and how to close the gaps.

Starting at $1,499

Security Posture Audit

A structured review of your policies, controls, and practices measured against recognized frameworks like NIST CSF and CIS Controls. Ideal for cyber insurance preparation or board-level reporting.

Starting at $1,999

Architecture Review

We evaluate your network design, cloud configuration, and infrastructure layout to identify structural security gaps before they become incidents. Delivered as an actionable roadmap.

Starting at $2,499

Not sure where to start?

Most businesses don't know what they don't know. A free 30-minute consultation is enough to identify your biggest risks and recommend a starting point — no commitment required.
