Compliance

Regulatory frameworks

Every engagement is mapped to the frameworks that matter most in this industry — so each finding directly supports your compliance posture.

SOC 2 Type II (TSC CC6.1, CC7.1–CC7.4)
trust service criteria requiring continuous monitoring, penetration testing, and vulnerability management as part of the Security and Availability principles
ISO 27001:2022 (Annex A, Controls 8.8, 8.25–8.29)
technical vulnerability management, secure development lifecycle, and application security testing requirements for technology organizations
GDPR (EU 2016/679, Art. 25, 32)
data protection by design and by default requirements affecting SaaS platforms processing EU personal data, mandating regular testing of technical measures
CCPA/CPRA (Cal. Civ. Code 1798.100+)
California privacy framework requiring reasonable security procedures, with statutory damages of $100–$750 per consumer per incident for data breaches resulting from inadequate security
OWASP Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS) v4.0.3
comprehensive security requirements for web application development across three verification levels, widely referenced in technology company security programs
Cyber Resilience Act (EU 2024/2847)
imposes mandatory cybersecurity requirements on products with digital elements sold in the EU, including vulnerability handling, security updates, and incident reporting obligations for software manufacturers
Methodology

Testing methodology

A tested, repeatable approach covering every layer of the modern environment relevant to this industry.

01 · PHASE

Source code security review

manual and tool-assisted analysis of application source code for security vulnerabilities, insecure coding patterns, hardcoded secrets, and logic flaws using SAST tools and expert review

02 · PHASE

CI/CD pipeline security assessment

evaluation of build systems, artifact repositories, deployment automation, infrastructure-as-code templates, and secret management for supply chain compromise risks

03 · PHASE

Cloud infrastructure penetration testing

assessment of AWS, Azure, or GCP environments for IAM misconfigurations, storage bucket exposure, serverless function vulnerabilities, and cross-account access risks

04 · PHASE

API security testing

comprehensive assessment of REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs following OWASP API Security Top 10, including broken object-level authorization (BOLA), mass assignment, and rate-limit bypass

05 · PHASE

Multi-tenant isolation testing

verification that tenant data boundaries are enforced at application, database, and infrastructure layers, preventing cross-tenant data access in shared SaaS environments

06 · PHASE

Container and Kubernetes security assessment

evaluation of container images, registry security, pod security policies/standards, network policies, RBAC configurations, and cluster-level attack paths

Services

Key services

Targeted services for the most common security needs in this industry.

Threat landscape

Threats facing this sector today

Every security engagement is scoped based on the attack patterns that actually hit this sector — not a generic checklist.

Tenant-isolation bypass

Attacks that break multi-tenant data boundaries, exposing one customer's data to another.

CI/CD & supply-chain attacks

Compromise of build pipelines, package repositories, and dependency graphs to plant malicious code.

API abuse

BOLA, rate-limit bypass, authorization flaws, and business-logic abuse in REST and GraphQL APIs.

Cloud misconfiguration

Public buckets, over-broad IAM, exposed admin consoles, and misconfigured serverless functions.

Privileged-access compromise

Attacks against SSO, admin accounts, and internal admin panels that control the entire tenant fleet.

Dependency & SBOM risk

Vulnerable or malicious third-party dependencies, typosquatting attacks, and lack of SBOM visibility.
