Security testing
that runs
continuously.

Most security testing happens once, manually, before an audit. We run automated security checks on a schedule — the same way we run functional regression — so vulnerabilities and failures surface before they become incidents. NIS2-aligned, AQA-powered, ongoing.

Scheduled scans — not one-off audits
AQA
Same platform, security layer added

What this is

Automated security testing.
Not a full security audit firm.

We're a testing automation company. We run security test scripts and frameworks through AQA on a schedule — giving you continuous coverage rather than a point-in-time report that goes stale the moment it's filed.

The problem with
periodic security testing.

Most companies run a penetration test or security audit once a year — often driven by a compliance deadline. The report lands, findings get triaged, some get fixed. Three months later the application has changed, new code has shipped, and the report is already out of date.

The same logic that makes continuous functional regression valuable applies to security. Your attack surface changes every time you deploy. Testing it once a year doesn't reflect that.

Security vulnerabilities introduced with new code go undetected between audits
Compliance reports reflect a snapshot, not ongoing reality
Manual testing is expensive and can't run on every deployment
NIS2 and other regulations increasingly require demonstrable ongoing controls
What we offer
Scheduled security scans running continuously on AQA

We write security test scripts — using frameworks like Metasploit alongside custom checks — and deploy them on AQA alongside your functional tests. They run on a schedule, report back through the same dashboard, and alert when something changes.

What we don't offer
Full offensive security engagements or certification audits

We're not a dedicated cybersecurity firm. We don't offer red team engagements, ISO 27001 gap assessments, or forensic incident response. If that's what you need, we'll tell you. What we do is automated, ongoing, scheduled security testing — a layer most companies don't have at all.


Coverage

What the scans
actually check.

Vulnerability scanning

Scheduled scans using industry-standard frameworks including Metasploit to identify known vulnerabilities in your application and infrastructure. Results logged in AQA with severity, context, and trend history.

Continuous security regression

Security checks run alongside functional tests on every scheduled execution. When a new deployment changes your attack surface, the next scan catches it — not the next annual audit.

Database backup verification

Automated restore tests that confirm your backups actually work — snapshots are restored to an isolated environment, data integrity is verified, and the result is logged. Not assumed, tested.

NIS2 compliance test automation

Automated tests mapped to the technical requirements of NIS2 — covering the controls that can be validated programmatically. Ongoing evidence of compliance rather than a document you update once a year.

Security reporting via AQA

All findings surface in the same AQA dashboard as functional test results. Trend data, severity history, and scheduled report delivery — so your security posture is visible without manual compilation.

Custom security scripts

Beyond standard frameworks, we write targeted checks for your specific application — testing the endpoints, integrations, and access patterns that matter to your environment. Not a generic scan applied generically.


NIS2 Directive
Regulations require
ongoing controls.
Not annual reports.

The NIS2 Directive — and similar regulatory frameworks — require organisations to implement and maintain technical security measures, not just document them. That means demonstrable, ongoing controls rather than a point-in-time audit that satisfies a checkbox once a year.

The parts of NIS2 that relate to technical controls — vulnerability management, incident detection, system integrity — are exactly what automated testing can address. We map our security scans to the relevant requirements so the output isn't just operational, it's evidential.

Vulnerability management controls — automated, scheduled, logged
System integrity verification across environments
Backup and recovery testing — documented and repeatable
Continuous monitoring evidence for regulatory review
What NIS2 requires
Demonstrable ongoing technical security measures

NIS2 applies to mid-to-large organisations in critical sectors — manufacturing, finance, logistics, digital infrastructure. The technical requirements include risk analysis, incident handling, business continuity, and supply chain security controls.

What we cover
The parts that can be automated and tested continuously

We don't handle the policy, governance, or certification aspects of NIS2 compliance. We handle the technical testing layer — the controls that can be implemented as automated checks and run on a schedule to produce ongoing evidence.

Important
We support compliance — we don't certify it

NIS2 certification requires a qualified auditor. We provide the automated testing layer that supports your compliance posture. For full NIS2 audit and certification, you need a dedicated cybersecurity partner — we can help you find one.


Database Integrity
Your backups work.
We verify that.

Most organisations assume their database backups are working. Very few test the restore. A backup that has never been successfully restored is not a backup — it's a file with an unknown state that you'll only find out about during an actual incident.

We automate the restore cycle — taking snapshots, restoring them to an isolated environment, verifying that the data exists and is intact, and logging the result. Scheduled, documented, repeatable.

Automated snapshot restore to isolated test environment
Data integrity checks — records verified, not just file size
Scheduled on your backup cadence — daily, weekly, or custom
Pass/fail logged in AQA with full history and trend data
Failure alerts before you discover the problem in production
How a backup verification run works
01
Snapshot triggered
AQA initiates the restore process on your scheduled cadence — no manual intervention required.
02
Restore to isolated environment
The snapshot is restored to a sandboxed environment — completely isolated from production data.
03
Data integrity verified
Test scripts confirm that expected records exist, relationships are intact, and critical data is accessible.
04
Result logged and reported
Pass or fail lands in AQA. Failures trigger alerts. History is retained for compliance evidence.
05
Environment cleaned up
The isolated restore environment is torn down automatically. No residual data, no manual cleanup.

continuous security
looks like for you.

We'll map your current security testing gaps against what can be automated — and show you what a scheduled scan setup would look like on your infrastructure. No commitment required.
