Security Audit & Pentest

Security audit, pentest and advisory

Compliance, pentest, secure development, architecture review, anti-insider, vCISO — one team, one contract.

Audit Services Four tracks

What we deliver

Compliance audits, offensive testing, secure engineering and strategic advisory — combined into a single accountable engagement.

Compliance & governance

ISO 27001 readiness and certification support
NIS2 directive (EU operators)
DORA — financial digital operational resilience
GDPR programme: data inventory, DPIA, breach SOP, SAR, vendor DPA
SOX IT general controls (ITGC) audit
PCI-DSS scoping and gap assessment

Offensive security & testing

External and internal pentest (black/grey/white box, lateral movement)
Web (OWASP Top 10 + business logic) and mobile (iOS, Android)
Social engineering — phishing, vishing, physical (optional)
Red / Purple Teaming — 8–16 weeks, board-level buy-in
Perimeter VA — fast format, 2–4 weeks, Pareto quick wins
Leak detection & OSINT — credentials, keys, internal docs
Source code audit, supply-chain risk review
Web3 / DeFi smart-contract audit (Solidity, Vyper, Rust)

Engineering & architecture

Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC) — threat modelling, SAST/SCA/DAST, secure code review
Security Architecture Review — segmentation, cryptography, IAM
Anti-insider programme — PAM design, UEBA, privacy-aware monitoring

Strategic advisory

Executive Security Consulting (vCISO) — strategy, roadmap, board reporting
Vendor selection and supply-chain risk advisory
Independent security opinion on existing programmes

Engagement formats

Perimeter VA: 2–4 weeks (quick start)
Full pentest: 4–8 weeks (typical)
Red/Purple Teaming: 8–16 weeks
vCISO: ongoing retainer

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a security audit and a penetration test?

An audit assesses controls, processes and compliance posture (ISO 27001, NIS2, DORA, GDPR) against a framework; a penetration test actively exploits weaknesses to prove real-world impact. Most engagements combine both — the audit sets scope, the pentest validates it.

Can compliance and offensive testing run under one contract?

Yes. ISO 27001 / NIS2 / DORA / GDPR programmes, penetration testing, secure development and vCISO advisory are delivered by one team under one contract — no fragmentation between a consulting firm and a separate testing vendor.

What do the deliverables look like?

Two layers from the same findings: a board-ready summary in business-risk language, plus engineer-ready remediation tickets with reproduction steps and prioritisation — not a 200-page PDF nobody reads.

How fast can you start, and what's the smallest useful engagement?

A perimeter vulnerability assessment runs 2–4 weeks and surfaces the Pareto quick wins; a full red / purple team runs 8–16 weeks with board-level buy-in. We scope to your risk and timeline, not a fixed package.

Do you cover identity and access security specifically?

Yes — we audit through the access-management lens (IGA / IAM / PAM), often where the real risk hides, with a direct cross to our identity practice for remediation.
