Identify infrastructure vulnerabilities and implement policies to stay protected and audit-ready.
A structured five-step process from initial scoping through to remediation verification — so nothing falls through the gaps.
We define the boundaries — systems, networks, and applications in scope — and agree on objectives and timelines.
Our open-source toolkit is deployed across your environment to identify vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and exposed services.
Findings are reviewed, de-duplicated, and risk-rated. False positives are filtered out before reporting.
You receive a full report — executive summary, technical findings, risk ratings, and prioritised remediation steps.
We assist with patching, hardening, and configuration fixes, and can re-scan to verify issues are resolved.
We use a layered, open-source scanning toolkit rather than a single proprietary product. Each tool targets a different layer of your infrastructure — from container images and application dependencies to network services, web applications, and operating system configurations. Together they provide a comprehensive, cross-stack view of your exposure with full transparency into how findings are generated. After assessment, we commonly pair results with server hardening, Wazuh SIEM deployment for ongoing detection, and POPIA compliance guidance — serving businesses in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and across South Africa.
Complementary scanners for container images, filesystems, Git repos, and software dependencies. Flag IaC misconfigurations and exposed secrets. Grype adds deep software composition analysis and CI/CD pipeline integration.
The industry-standard penetration testing framework. Used to safely validate and exploit discovered vulnerabilities, confirming real-world risk rather than relying on scanner findings alone.
The de facto standard toolkit for web application security testing. Intercepts and analyses HTTP/HTTPS traffic, and tests for authentication flaws, injection vulnerabilities, and broken access controls.
Full-featured network vulnerability scanner with a database of 70,000+ CVE checks across hosts, services, and configurations.
Fast, template-driven scanner with a community library of 9,000+ checks covering CVEs, misconfigurations, exposed panels, default credentials, and web vulnerabilities across any protocol.
Port scanning, OS fingerprinting, and service version detection. The script engine enables automated vulnerability probing across the network.
Scans web servers for dangerous files, outdated software, misconfigurations, and over 6,700 known vulnerabilities.
Active and passive scanning for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities in web applications and APIs, with an automation-friendly headless mode.
Open-source security platform providing real-time threat detection, file integrity monitoring, intrusion detection, and compliance monitoring for PCI DSS, HIPAA, and GDPR.
System-level auditing for Linux and Unix hosts. Checks hardening posture, file permissions, authentication settings, and kernel parameters.
Scans running systems for known rootkits, backdoors, and signs of compromise — an important layer for post-incident and routine audits.
Black-box web application scanner that tests for SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, XXE, and command injection without requiring access to source code.

We develop and audit complete IT security policy suites for your entire infrastructure, giving you documented, enforceable standards that satisfy internal governance requirements and external compliance audits alike.
Our policy engagements cover the full spectrum of operational, technical, and organisational controls, including:
