Independent Security Assessment

We test your security like an attacker would.
Then we tell you the truth.

Most firms that audit your systems also want the contract to fix them. We don't. Our assessors find the weaknesses, document how they got in, and hand the evidence to your leadership. What happens next is your call, not our upsell.

What we do

Three ways to find out where you stand.

Assess your overall risk, prove what an attacker could actually reach, or get ready for an audit, without your assessor selling you the fix.

NIST CSF 2.0 · CIS Controls

Cybersecurity Risk Assessments

A structured review of your cloud, identity, endpoint, and perimeter setup, showing leadership exactly where the risk is.

  • Identity and privileged access review (IAM/PAM)
  • Cloud and network perimeter configuration review
  • Risk-ranked roadmap your leadership can act on

Penetration Testing

Controlled attack simulations against your real systems. We only report what we can actually break into, and show you how.

  • External network, cloud, and web application testing
  • Multi-step attack chains demonstrated end to end
  • Findings with reproduction steps and fix guidance

Compliance & Audit Readiness

Find the gaps before an auditor, regulator, or customer finds them for you, with a plan to close them in order.

  • Control crosswalks: NIST SP 800-53, PCI DSS, HIPAA, SOC 2
  • Documentation and evidence gap analysis
  • Pre-audit fix plan with effort estimates

Why independence matters

Your auditor should not want the fix contract.

When an IT vendor audits the systems it built and maintains, it is grading its own homework. We have nothing to sell past the findings, so nothing colors them.

Inherent Conflict

Traditional MSP & Reseller Model

Auditing deployed as a sales pipeline for billable remediation hours and tool licenses.

  • Every finding is a doorway to a billable fix contract
  • Tool recommendations follow reseller quotas, not your risk
  • Raw scanner output dumps hundreds of false positives on your team
  • They are auditing the systems they built and still maintain
Strict Independence

MSP Audit Practice Model

One mandate: report the risk as it is, for leadership and engineers alike.

  • We sell no fix work, software, or managed services of any kind
  • Testing follows recognized frameworks, not vendor products
  • A human confirms every exploit before it reaches the report
  • One report your board can read, one your engineers can act on

How we work

A human confirms every finding.

Automated scanners flag hundreds of theoretical problems that your team would waste weeks chasing. We verify by hand what can actually be exploited in your environment, so the report only contains the things worth your time.

Industries

Built for industries where mistakes are expensive.

Banks, hospitals, law firms, factories, and retailers fail differently. We shape testing and reporting around the regulations and threats that actually apply to you.

Financial Services

Evaluate identity, cloud, and transaction controls with reporting structured for Board audit committees and regulatory examinations.

Legal Services

How it works

From first call to final report.

You always know what is being tested and what happens next. Your systems stay up while we work.

01

Scope & ground rules

We agree on what gets tested, when, and where the line is. Your production systems stay up throughout.

02

Testing, by hand

Senior assessors probe your systems directly, capturing evidence for everything they find as they go.

03

Ranking what matters

We discard the theoretical noise and rank the rest by how easily it can be exploited and what it would cost you.

04

Two reports, one call

A short brief for leadership, a detailed register for engineers, then a closeout session with both.

FAQ

Questions we usually get first.

The short version of how engagements run, what they cost in disruption, and what lands in your inbox at the end.

How do you avoid a conflict of interest?

We do not sell managed IT, hardware, software licenses, or fix work. There is no follow-on contract for us to win, so there is no reason for us to exaggerate a finding.

Will testing disrupt production?

No. Before anything starts, both sides sign rules of engagement covering what gets tested, when, and what stays off-limits. We stick to them, and your systems keep running.

How long does an assessment take?

Most engagements run two to three weeks from kickoff to final report. You get firm delivery dates before we start.

What do we actually receive at the end?

Two things: a short risk brief written for leadership, and a technical findings register for engineers with affected systems, reproduction steps, and fix guidance for every finding.

Will the report hold up with regulators and insurers?

Yes. Reports are led by CISSP-certified assessors and mapped to the frameworks your auditors recognize: NIST CSF 2.0, CIS Controls v8, PCI DSS v4.0, HIPAA, and ISO 27001.
