What we do

01
⚔

Penetration Testing

We simulate real-world cyberattacks on your systems, networks, and applications to uncover vulnerabilities before malicious actors do — delivering a clear picture of your true risk exposure.

Smart Contract Audit

Blockchain and DeFi protocols introduce unique security challenges that traditional testing misses. A single vulnerability in a smart contract can result in irreversible financial loss. We go beyond the contract — auditing your entire ecosystem end-to-end.

GenAI Red Teaming

LLM-powered applications introduce attack surfaces traditional tools do not cover. We test against prompt injection, jailbreaking, data exfiltration, and agentic privilege escalation.

Frequently asked questions

What is penetration testing and why does my company need it?
A penetration test is a controlled simulation of a cyberattack against your systems, applications, or network. Fintechs and asset managers use it to satisfy PCI-DSS, ISO 27001, and SOC 2, and to find paths into client assets, issuance admin, and custody operations.
How is a smart contract audit different from a traditional security audit?
Token contracts are immutable once deployed, so a flaw in issuance, redemption, or share accounting is a balance-sheet problem. A smart contract audit combines manual review with fuzzing and invariant testing, and covers the off-chain systems — frontends, APIs, allowlists, and admin keys — where tokenized-asset losses usually start.
What is GenAI Red Teaming and does my AI product need it?
GenAI red teaming tests LLM-powered applications against prompt injection, jailbreaking, data exfiltration, and agentic privilege escalation. Fintech and asset platforms that use a model for support, onboarding, research, or operations have an attack surface traditional tools do not cover.
What does security look like for an RWA or tokenization company?
Issuance, custody, and redemption are one system. We review the token contracts with fuzzing and invariant testing, the MPC or multisig signing path, and the operator procedures around keys, allowlists, and reserve movements. Asset managers get the same review of the portal, admin roles, and integrations that can move client assets.
How long does a penetration test take?
Scope determines timeline. A web application pentest typically runs 3–5 days. A full internal network assessment spans 1–2 weeks. Smart contract audits for a medium-complexity protocol take 5–10 days. We include a retest of all critical findings at no extra charge.
