The services arm of CISO Marketplace
Offensive security.
AI security.
Done by operators.
We break into networks, applications and AI systems the way real adversaries do, then show you exactly how to close the path. Fixed scope, published starting prices, evidence behind every finding.

Flagship practices
Two disciplines, one team.
Most real breaches now chain a traditional weakness with an AI one. We test both, together.
Practice 01 · Offense
Offensive Security
Penetration testing, red teaming and adversary emulation run by operators, not scanners. We prove what an attacker can reach, show you how, and help you verify the fix.
- Penetration testing
- Red team & adversary emulation
- Social engineering & physical
- Continuous exposure
- Specialized targets

Not sure where to start?
Start with Phase 0.
The six pillars of the AI security program are not sold off a shelf — they are built into your ecosystem, and that requires knowing the ecosystem first. Phase 0 is a scoped, fixed-fee assessment that maps your environment end to end: every AI system in use (sanctioned and shadow), the DevSecOps reality, the data and identity stack, the SIEM / EDR / tooling landscape, and where testing should start. It defines how each pillar gets built for you (BYOK and open-source first, commercial upgrades where they earn their place), designs the integration seams into what you already run, and plans the deployment topology for distributed sites. The output is the current-state map, the future-state design and a sequenced build plan — and only then does the program get a number. CISO Marketplace members get the Phase 0 fee credited toward the program if they proceed.

182 services across the security program.
When testing finds the gaps, the same team can close them: cloud, incident response, leadership and compliance.
20 services
Cloud & Application Security
Cloud posture, application and API security, secure code review and DevSecOps. Security built into how you ship, not bolted on afterwards.
16 services
Managed Security & Incident Response
Incident response readiness, retainers, threat hunting, forensics and tabletop exercises, so the first time you run your plan is not during an incident.
21 services
Advisory / vCISO
Fractional security leadership, program development and board-level risk communication from practitioners who have held the role.
43 services
Compliance & GRC
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, CMMC, FedRAMP and privacy programs, scoped to the audit you actually face.
60 services
Specialized & Industry
Sector-specific assessments and OSINT, from energy and maritime to executive protection and M&A due diligence.

Process
How every engagement runs.
Same six steps whether it's a single web application or a multi-site red team.
- 01
Scoping call
A practitioner, not a salesperson, walks through targets, constraints and what a good outcome looks like for you.
- 02
Proposal & rules of engagement
A fixed-scope proposal with tier, price and deliverables. Rules of engagement, contacts and out-of-bounds systems are agreed in writing.
- 03
Sign, then start
MSA and SOW are signed electronically and the deposit is paid. Only then does testing begin.
- 04
Execution
Testing runs to the agreed plan. Critical findings are escalated as they are found; you don't wait for the report.
- 05
Report & debrief
An executive summary plus technical findings with evidence, reproduction steps and fixes, walked through with your team.
- 06
Retest
Where the tier includes it, we verify your fixes and reissue the report, so auditors and customers see the issues closed.
Timelines are set per engagement in the SOW.

Microsoft's Agentic-Era CISO Framing Is a Vendor Narrative Heading Into Your Next Budget Cycle
Microsoft is recasting the CISO as steward of agent identity, with Entra Agent ID and Agent 365 as the toolset. CISOs should separate the narrative from the architecture before the 2027 budget cycle locks in.

Fixed Isn't Finished: Half of One Researcher's Findings Were Bypasses of Our Own Fixes
Two of one researcher's four November findings in our disclosure program were bypasses of fixes we had just shipped, one of them two days after the fix. Both bypasses lived where fixes usually stop: one path patched, its twin forgotten. Here's how fix-bypass hunting works, why AI-assisted testers are so good at it, and the checklist we now use before closing any finding.

Your AI Coding Tools Are the New .env: Scanners Now Hunt MCP Configs and Agent Instruction Files
On the sites where we serve decoy files, the third most-requested path after /.env and the homepage is /.cursor/mcp.json, an AI coding assistant's tool configuration. Scanners also ask for AGENTS.md and CLAUDE.md. Here's why attackers want these files, what they leak, and how to keep AI tooling out of your web root and your repos.
