100% Senior Pentesters. No sales layers.

Our "Direct to Tech" promise connects you immediately to the senior team who will be challenging your defenses.

Security Testing for Complex Platforms, Products & Infrastructure

We support UK and international organisations with complex platforms, products, and infrastructure to understand real-world risk, maintain compliance, and pass critical audits. Our penetration testing engagements are regularly used to support: ISO 27001 certification and surveillance audits, SOC 2 readiness and attestation, DORA and regulatory assurance requirements, Cyber Essentials Plus, investor due diligence, and internal board reviews. We work across industries — wherever systems are complex, security matters, and assurance is required.

What Our Penetration Testing Actually Delivers

We are a small, close-knit and highly experienced team of Senior Pentesters and Technical Programme Managers. We guarantee experienced penetration testers with deep SaaS, infrastructure and operational platform expertise. We have practical understanding of audit expectations and deliverables, and deliver independent and manual-led pentests with a quick and thorough turnaround. We assess how vulnerabilities can be exploited in practice, and tell you the realistic business impact of these, both individually and chained. We tell you where risk truly sits, specific to you — not just where scanners say it does. Every engagement concludes with a clear, defensible technical report, board-ready executive summary, practical remediation guidance and risk ratings aligned to business impact. We provide evidence suitable for auditors and assessors, keeping it relevant. No inflated findings. No fear-based language. No noise.

Certified-grade penetration testing aligned to ISO 27001, SOC 2 and investor due-diligence.

Evidence Over Noise

We report what we find and verify - clearly, accurately and without exaggeration. No inflated or fear-based language - just defensible, audit-ready security findings that you can get behind. Our reports are structured to support ISO 27001, SOC 2, Cyber Essentials Plus and other assurance frameworks.

Operationally Aware Pentesting

Security testing should support delivery and business continuity, not derail it. We work in step with your engineering, compliance and senior leadership teams, balancing risk, business reality and audit requirements.

Senior-Led Accountability, Always

Every engagement is delivered by highly experienced, qualified penetration testers and a Technical PM — not junior staff or outsourced contractors. You get consistent quality, direct communication, and accountability from start to finish.

Working Alongside Your Team

We regularly collaborate with ISO 27001 and SOC 2 consultants, internal compliance and risk teams, fractional and in-house CISO/CTOs, Leadership and Founders. We integrate cleanly into existing workflows, reporting structures, and timelines — operating as a senior extension of your internal team. You won’t need to chase us. You won’t need to translate our findings. You won’t need to manage the process. We understand what auditors require, what technical teams need, and what leadership expects — and we deliver.

Built for More Than “Passing the Audit”

Compliance is not the only goal. Resilience is. Our testing directly supports risk registers, remediation planning and validation, ongoing security maturity and continuous improvement cycles. We design engagements so the output is usable — not just presentable.

+ How we work

Sample Report

Our Pentest Reports contain extensive details of the vulnerabilities identified throughout our engagement. This example report gives an idea of what information you can expect to find and how we present our findings to both your technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Why Organisations Choose Us

Security testing is widely available. Meaningful security assurance is not. Organisations choose us because: Engagements are delivered by senior penetration testers — not junior analysts. Findings are precise, defensible, and proportionate | Reports stand up to audit scrutiny without inflated risk ratings | We understand compliance frameworks | We integrate smoothly into existing engineering and governance processes. We operate as a long-term security partner, not a transactional testing vendor. We offer retainer models, one-off pentests, and multi-year agreements.

01

Do you provide support after the report is delivered?

Yes. We don’t believe in “hit-and-run” security. We provide dedicated post-test support to help your teams understand and patch vulnerabilities. Once remediated, we offer validation re-testing to prove the risks have been sufficiently mitigated, giving you definitive proof of a hardened security posture.

02

How long does it take to get a quote and start testing?

Our Direct to Tech Promise eliminates the traditional sales layer. You speak immediately to a Senior Pentester or Technical Project Manager, allowing us to complete scoping and provide a bespoke proposal without the “faffing” of account managers. After an initial call we’ll probably have a tailored proposal with you in a day or two.

03

How much will a Pentest cost?

The cost of a pentest is determined by the scope, complexity, and duration required to manually challenge your defenses. While every project is scoped to your specific environment, most of our mid-market and enterprise clients typically invest between £7k and £15k per engagement.

Though automated “commodity” scans are cheap, they often miss the business logic flaws that lead to breaches. At Azacus.io, we don’t use junior staff or copy/paste template reports to cut costs.

What Drives the Scope:

  • Environment Size: The number of IPs, web applications, or API endpoints.

  • Target Complexity: The depth of manual exploitation required for custom-built software vs. off-the-shelf systems.

  • Compliance Rigor: Specific reporting requirements for SOC2, PCI-DSS, or ISO 27001.

Our Direct to Tech Promise ensures you receive a transparent, fixed-fee proposal directly from a Senior Pentester—not a salesperson. We prioritise a meticulous, risk-led approach that provides the technical evidence your board and auditors require.

We also offer retainer agreements for specific clients; 100% of our retainer clients note an evidenced upturn in their security and demonstrable vulnerability management and mitigation.

04

Does your report satisfy SOC2, ISO 27001, or PCI-DSS requirements?

Yes. Our reports provide the high-fidelity technical evidence and prioritised remediation roadmaps required by major regulatory bodies. We map findings directly to your specific compliance framework, delivering an Executive Summary for your board and a deep-dive document for your technical teams. We also offer follow-up post test calls to walk through findings and discuss in detail where needed.

05

Who actually performs the testing?

We are a senior-only boutique. 100% of our testing is conducted by experts with over a decade of experience in the public and private sectors. Unlike larger firms, we do not use “junior shadow-resources”; your infrastructure is challenged by the same lead experts you speak to during your initial call with us.

06

Will your testing affect our production environment?

We prioritize operational continuity through a context-first methodology. Before testing begins, our Senior Pentesters map your environment’s dependencies to ensure our manual and automated techniques are rigorous but safe. We provide real-time communication throughout the engagement to ensure zero disruption to your business ops and continuity.
