Software flaws are a leading entry point.
Verizon’s 2026 DBIR reports that 31% of breaches began with vulnerability exploitation. The report analyzes 2025 data; the figure is not a prediction of your business’s risk.

Security is part of staying open.
Your website, software and connected tools keep the business moving. Protecting them is basic operating work. We find exposure, make tested changes and leave you with a clear plan.
For business owners and technical teams.

Why now
Maintenance can’t wait for a crisis.
Software changes. Access accumulates. New tools connect to old accounts. A site that works today can still carry avoidable exposure.
Hosting does not maintain your application.
Even managed hosting leaves responsibilities with the owner. Vercel assigns customers responsibility for application code, access and integrations. Someone still needs to do that work.
See the responsibility splitAI tools add permissions to protect.
OWASP identifies prompt injection as a risk when untrusted content changes a model’s behavior. The stakes grow when that model can use tools or access private information.
Read OWASP’s guidanceA small business still has something to protect. Your domain, customer inquiries, staff accounts, source code and ability to keep operating all matter. Security belongs in the operating budget.
What we cover
Follow the risk.
Across the business.
Start with the concern, not a technology list. We define the system, choose the right checks and agree on the depth of work.
Websites & business systems
Review frameworks, plugins, forms and hosting configuration. Find stale software and unsafe settings, then plan fixes around the way customers use your site.
Public websites · CMS · Customer portalsApplications & APIs
Trace identity, permissions and sensitive data through the code. Examine access controls, tenant boundaries, sessions, inputs and relevant failure paths.
Source review · Threat modeling · Controlled testsAI agents & integrations
Examine what happens when untrusted content reaches a model with tools. Review data exposure, prompt injection, tool permissions and approval boundaries.
Agents · Retrieval · Connected toolsCloud & developer access
Review account privileges, repository integrations, secrets handling and release permissions. Reduce unnecessary access while preserving the services you rely on.
Cloud accounts · GitHub · Delivery pipelinesDevices & recovery
Review selected workstation permissions, startup services, encryption and backups. Define what needs recovering and verify the agreed recovery path.
Workstations · Backups · Restore exercisesOngoing security care
Keep an agreed review and maintenance schedule. Turn supported alerts into clear decisions, approved updates and a record of what changed.

Find it. Fix it.
Verify it.
You receive evidence and a path forward. Permission, safe testing and recovery are part of the delivery.
- 01
Agree the scope
Confirm ownership, access, systems and test boundaries. You know what will be reviewed before work starts.
- 02
Find and verify
Inspect the configuration, code and behavior. Separate confirmed findings from open questions and prioritize actual exposure.
- 03
Make controlled changes
Agree the fixes and price. Test changes separately, prepare recovery and get permission before touching production.
- 04
Prove and hand over
Verify the released behavior. Document the results, remaining risks and the next maintenance steps.

Compare the full scopeBefore we start
Straight answers.
Is this useful if my website is small?
Yes. A small site can still control your domain, route customer inquiries and connect to email or other services. The review follows what your business actually uses, so the work stays proportionate.
Can you review software someone else built?
Yes. Bring the system and the concern. We first confirm ownership, available access and a safe scope. Reviews can cover websites, custom applications, APIs, cloud accounts, developer workflows, AI integrations and selected workstation or recovery setups.
Will you change my live systems?
Only with your permission. Assessment access and permission to make changes are separate. We agree on the changes, tests, timing and recovery plan before a production release.
Do you use AI in the work?
Yes. AI-assisted research, code review and testing support the engineering process. Findings are checked against source or behavior, and a passing scanner score is not treated as proof of security. Any use of external AI services with private code or data is agreed with you first.
What if I need penetration testing or compliance work?
Tell us the requirement. Authorized penetration testing, specialist infrastructure reviews and compliance-readiness work need a dedicated scope and quote. These packages do not include certification, legal advice or an emergency-response retainer.
Can you guarantee that we will never be hacked?
No service can make that guarantee. You receive documented checks, verified changes and an honest account of what was reviewed, what remains and how to reduce exposure over time.
Start with a conversation
What needs protecting?
Tell us what your business runs, what concerns you and any deadline. We’ll confirm the right scope, price and availability before work begins.
