Cybersecurity · AI · Software development
Secure your systems. Build your software. Put AI to work.
Penetration testing, AI security and secure software development. We test what you run, build what you need, and make AI safe to use. One team, from first scope to final retest.
Services
Three disciplines. One team that understands all of them.
Security informs how we build. Building informs how we test. AI runs through both.
Cybersecurity. Find the weak points before someone else does, then close them.
Penetration testing (VAPT)
Manual and tool-assisted testing of web, API, mobile, network and thick client targets.
Red teaming and adversary simulation
Goal-driven attacks that test your people, process and detection end to end.
Cloud security assessments
Configuration and identity reviews across AWS, Azure and GCP.
External attack surface management
Continuous discovery of exposed assets, services and forgotten hosts.
Wireless security testing
Assess Wi-Fi segmentation, authentication and rogue access point risk.
Source code review and SAST
Line-level review backed by static analysis, with fixes your developers can apply.
Threat modeling and architecture review
Map how your system can fail and design controls before code ships.
DevSecOps and secure SDLC
Security checks built into your pipelines without slowing releases.
Compliance readiness
Gap analysis and remediation support for ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS.
Incident response and digital forensics
Contain the incident, find the root cause and preserve the evidence.
Phishing and social engineering simulations
Realistic campaigns that measure how your team responds to real lures.
Security awareness training
Short, practical sessions that change habits, not just tick a box.
Security advisory and virtual CISO
Senior security leadership on call, sized to your stage and budget.
AI. Build with AI, and make sure it can't be turned against you.
LLM application security testing
Test LLM-powered features against the OWASP Top 10 for LLM applications.
AI red teaming
Probe models for prompt injection, data leakage and jailbreaks.
AI agent and MCP security reviews
Review tool permissions, MCP servers and agent trust boundaries.
AI governance and risk assessment
Clear policies and risk registers for how your organisation uses AI.
Custom AI agents and workflow automation
Agents that take on repetitive work, with guardrails and human review.
Chatbots and RAG systems
Assistants grounded in your own documents, with sources you can check.
AI integration into existing products
Add AI features to the product you already have, without a rewrite.
AI-assisted security tooling
Automation that speeds up triage, recon and reporting for security teams.
Development. Software built to ship, built to last, and secure from the first commit.
Web applications
Fast, accessible web apps built on proven, maintainable stacks.
Mobile apps (iOS and Android)
Native and cross-platform apps with secure storage and auth.
APIs and backend services
Well-documented APIs and services designed for scale and safety.
SaaS products and MVPs
From first prototype to a product real customers pay for.
Cloud-native architecture and DevOps
Infrastructure as code, CI/CD and environments you can reproduce.
UI/UX design
Interfaces that are clear, consistent and easy to use.
Security tools and automation (Python)
Custom scanners, integrations and scripts for your security workflow.
Maintenance and ongoing support
Updates, patches and monitoring after launch, so nothing goes stale.
How we work
Four steps. The same discipline every time.
Whether we are testing a network or shipping an app, the shape of the work stays the same.
- 01
Scope
We agree on goals, targets and rules of engagement. You get a fixed plan before work starts.
- 02
Assess or Build
We test your systems or write your software, with check-ins so nothing is a surprise.
- 03
Report or Ship
Clear findings ranked by real risk, or working software deployed to your environment.
- 04
Retest or Support
We verify every fix, or stay on to maintain and improve what we shipped.
Why Cortexward
How we hold ourselves to account.
Evidence, not noise
Every finding comes with proof, impact and a fix. No padded reports. No scanner dumps.
Security built in
We build software the way we test it. Threat models and secure defaults from the first commit.
A direct line
You talk to the people doing the work. Plain answers, clear scope and honest timelines.
