Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity for apps, APIs, cloud and AI: we find the flaws before an attacker does.

With hands-on experience attacking and defending production systems, we assess your app, your APIs, your cloud infrastructure and your AI assistants the way an attacker would, and hand you a remediation plan prioritized by risk, not a generic list of findings.

03

Code audit and DevSecOps

Review of the source code, the design and the pipeline to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production.

04

Cloud and infrastructure hardening

We secure your infrastructure on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure and the processes that deploy and operate it.

  • IAM, networking, encryption and service configuration
  • Review against CIS Benchmarks and provider best practices
  • Monitoring, alerting and security event logging
  • Immutable backups and restore testing
05

Incident response and ransomware readiness

We prepare your company for its worst day and stand beside you if it already happened.

  • Incident response plan and scenario playbooks
  • Ransomware readiness assessment
  • Tabletop exercises with your team
  • Containment, analysis and recovery after an incident
06

Compliance and consulting

We guide your company through regulatory requirements and help build a security culture.

  • Controls aligned with ISO/IEC 27001:2022
  • Support with customer security questionnaires
  • Ecuador's Personal Data Protection Law (LOPDP) for LatAm operations
  • Training against phishing, AI-driven fraud and deepfakes

When companies call us

Concrete situations where an independent assessment changes the conversation with customers, investors or auditors.

Before launching an app

The app handles personal data or payments and goes live in a few weeks.

What we do
Penetration test of the app and its API, with a re-test of fixes before launch.
What you get
Report with CVSS severity and a closure letter for leadership.

An enterprise customer requires it

A bank, insurer or enterprise buyer asks for a recent pentest or a security questionnaire.

What we do
An assessment scoped to the customer's requirements and help with the questionnaire.
What you get
Independent evidence and consistent technical answers.

AI in production

You launched a chatbot or agent with access to documents, email or internal systems.

What we do
AI red teaming: prompt injection, data leakage and tool permissions.
What you get
Risks prioritized against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM and recommended controls.

Compliance pressure

You handle personal or payment data and cannot say which technical controls exist and which are missing.

What we do
Technical gap assessment against ISO 27001, PCI DSS or data protection requirements.
What you get
A prioritized action plan, coordinated with your legal and compliance advisors.

A cloud that grew without a plan

Cloud accounts with inherited access, long-lived keys and exposed services.

What we do
Configuration review and hardening against CIS Benchmarks.
What you get
Risks ranked by priority: day 1, week 1 and month 1.

After a scare

A fraud attempt, a compromised account or ransomware on a machine.

What we do
Containment, root-cause analysis and a response plan for next time.
What you get
Incident report, lessons learned and prioritized controls.

How the process works

  1. 1

    Scope and rules of engagement

    We define assets, environments, testing windows, contacts and success criteria. NDA and formal testing authorization are signed up front.

  2. 2

    Execution

    Reconnaissance, analysis and controlled exploitation. Critical findings are reported immediately, without waiting for the final report.

  3. 3

    Report and prioritization

    You receive the technical report with evidence and reproduction steps, plus an executive summary for leadership.

  4. 4

    Remediation and verification

    We help fix the issues and re-test the closed findings. Optional periodic follow-up.

What you receive

  • Technical report with severity (CVSS), evidence and reproduction steps.
  • Executive summary in business language for leadership and auditors.
  • Remediation plan prioritized by risk and impact.
  • Re-test of fixed findings and a closure letter.
  • Review session with your engineering team.

Who it is for

Companies with apps in production

Handling personal data, payments or sensitive information and needing to know how exposed they are.

Startups before launch or fundraising

Wanting to reach launch or due diligence with an independent assessment in hand.

Teams facing compliance requirements

Healthcare, fintech and commerce teams dealing with data protection laws, payment gateway requirements or customer audits.

Security + AI

Launching an AI assistant or agent? Build it secure by design.

Our AI team builds chatbots, RAG and agents with per-user access control, human approval for critical actions and prompt-injection defenses from the very first prototype.

Cybersecurity FAQ

How much does a penetration test cost?

It depends on scope: number of applications, APIs, user roles and testing depth. A penetration test for one mobile app and its API typically starts at $2,500; programs covering several applications and infrastructure are quoted per project. We send a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal after a 30-minute call.

How long does a security assessment take?

A penetration test of one app and its API usually takes 1 to 3 weeks including the report. Code and infrastructure audits vary with system size. Critical findings are communicated immediately, without waiting for the final report.

What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?

An automated scan looks for known flaws and produces many false positives. A penetration test combines tools with manual testing: a specialist tries to exploit the flaws, chain them and abuse business logic, and proves the real impact with evidence.

Can you assess the security of an AI chatbot or agent?

Yes. We test direct and indirect prompt injection, data and system prompt leakage, excessive tool permissions and unbounded consumption, using the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications as the reference. You receive prioritized risks and the controls to mitigate them.

Can testing affect my production system?

We coordinate testing windows, avoid destructive tests and prefer staging environments when available. Any test with potential impact is agreed in writing before it runs.

Can you assess an app built by another company?

Yes. Much of our work is on systems built by third parties. We only need access to the agreed environments and, for code audits, to the repository.

What should I do if I already suffered an incident or ransomware?

Isolate affected machines without powering them off, preserve evidence, rotate credentials from a clean device and contact us. We help you contain the incident, understand how the attacker got in and restore operations, and point you to the reporting obligations that apply.

Why hire a nearshore security team in Ecuador?

You get senior, English-fluent engineers working in US time zones (UTC-5) at LatAm rates, with the same OWASP-based methodology and reporting standards you would expect from a US firm. Communication happens in real time, not overnight.
