Find risks before Attackers do

Security audits must produce fixes — not just findings. Regulated industries and product teams need assessments that identify risks, map compliance gaps, and give engineering and leadership prioritised remediation they can act on before auditors, boards, or customers ask.

Service overview

Security & compliance audits

Vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and compliance audits producing prioritised findings engineers can reproduce and leadership can act on.

We conduct vulnerability assessments, penetration tests, and compliance audits for healthcare, finance, SaaS, and regulated industries — producing prioritised findings engineers can reproduce and leadership can act on.

Every engagement defines clear rules of engagement upfront, validates findings to reduce false positives, and maps gaps against frameworks like ISO 27001, SOC 2, and GDPR where required.

  • Penetration testingControlled exploitation with reproduction steps

Reference example

GDPR readiness audit

Healthcare provider compliance assessment — anonymised from a production engagement.

Regulatory Readiness Assessment

Findings your team can act on

Description

A GDPR readiness audit conducted for a healthcare provider preparing for product launch — identifying data-handling gaps, access control weaknesses, and policy updates needed before go-live, with a prioritised remediation roadmap for engineering and leadership.

Context: Delivered ahead of a healthcare product launch — mapping patient-data flows, access controls, encryption practices, and documentation gaps against GDPR requirements with executive and engineering handoff.

Audit engagement

Our audit engagement process

Structured phases from scoping through reporting — with clear communication at every step.

  1. 01

    Scope & rules of engagement

    Agree audit boundaries, testing windows, frameworks, and communication channels upfront.

    e.g. scoping patient-data systems and third-party integrations for a healthcare audit

  2. 02

    Threat & asset mapping

    Document assets, data flows, and attack surfaces before testing begins.

    e.g. data flow mapping across applications handling sensitive information

  3. 03

    Assess & validate

    Automated scans plus manual testing, configuration review, and policy interviews.

    e.g. manual validation of critical vulnerabilities to reduce false positives

  4. 04

    Report & prioritise

    Executive summary, technical detail, and compliance mapping ranked by severity and effort.

    e.g. GDPR article mapping with prioritised remediation for engineering and legal teams

  5. 05

    Remediation workshops

    Engineering guidance, fix validation support, and leadership briefings.

    e.g. workshops helping developers close access control and encryption gaps

  6. 06

    Re-test & close-out

    Optional re-testing before external audits, launches, or certification milestones.

    e.g. verification testing before a healthcare product go-live

  7. 07

    Advisory & improvement

    Ongoing guidance as your team matures security posture beyond the initial engagement.

    e.g. follow-up advisory as policies and controls were updated post-audit

We help you find risks before attackers and auditors do — with findings ranked by impact and remediation your team can actually close.
