We test the region's most critical systems the way a real adversary would, then hand you a report your board and your engineers can both act on.

// 01
Most breaches do not begin with genius. They begin with a default password nobody changed, an endpoint left open, a secret hiding in plain sight.
We find those first, before someone with worse intentions does. Then we make sure they stay closed.
// 02 Services
Four ways we keep you ahead of an attacker.
From a single deep engagement to an ongoing partnership, we meet you where your risk lives.

Penetration Testing
We attack your web apps, APIs, and infrastructure with the same techniques real adversaries use, then prove every finding with reproducible evidence, not guesses.
Vulnerability Assessment
A broad, structured sweep of your estate to surface misconfigurations, exposed services, and weak points, prioritised by real-world impact so you fix what matters first.
Hardening & Remediation
We do not just find problems, we help you close them. Secure configuration, guided fixes, and a re-test that confirms the fix actually held.
Security Training & Advisory
Practical guidance for your team, from secure-development habits to on-call advisory when you need a trusted second set of eyes on a decision.
// 03 What we test
The weaknesses that quietly open the front door.
Individually these look minor. Chained together, they are how a breach actually happens. Every engagement hunts all six.
API security
Exposed endpoints, data returned without login, and API blueprints that hand an attacker your whole map.
Secrets & exposure
Hardcoded keys, passwords, and tokens sitting in client-side code where anyone can read them.
Transport & configuration
Weak TLS, permissive CORS, and development settings left switched on in production.
Sessions & business logic
CSRF gaps, token abuse, and logic flaws that no automated scanner will ever catch.
Platform & infrastructure
Application servers, cloud posture, and the fingerprints that tell an attacker exactly what you run.
// 04 From the field
Real findings. Real severity. Names withheld.
A sample of what we have surfaced during authorised assessments. Every detail that could identify a client has been removed.
CriticalCVSS 9.8
Factory credentials on the authentication service
A highest-privilege account still using the vendor's out-of-the-box password, reachable from the public internet. The single key to the entire platform, never changed after install.
// authorised assessment · financial services
HighCVSS 7.5
Entire API surface exposed without login
The application's complete endpoint blueprint, well over a thousand routes covering accounts, payments, and administration, downloadable by anyone before authenticating.

HighCVSS 7.5
Secrets hardcoded in public JavaScript
Service credentials and an API key embedded directly in client-side code, readable by any visitor who opened the browser console. No breach required, just curiosity.
// authorised assessment · public web platform
Illustrative findings from authorised engagements. Client identities, hosts, and specifics withheld under confidentiality.
// 05 Methodology
A clear path from scope to a fix that holds.
No black boxes. You always know what we are testing, what we found, and that it is genuinely closed.
PH·01
Scope
Targets, rules of engagement, and timing agreed in writing before anything begins.
PH·02
Reconnaissance
We map your attack surface the way an adversary would, from the outside in.
PH·03
Exploitation
Manual, adversarial testing backed by tooling, going far deeper than any scanner alone.
PH·04
Reporting
One document your board and your engineers can both read, act on, and fund.
PH·05
Re-test
We return, confirm every fix landed, and sign it off. Not before.
// 06 Industries
Built for the systems that cannot fail.
The Indian Ocean runs on offshore finance, tourism, and public infrastructure. We test the platforms those depend on.
Banking & Fintech
Digital banking, payment platforms, and the APIs behind them.
Government & Public Sector
Citizen services and critical national infrastructure.
Offshore & Corporate Services
Registries, trust and fund platforms, compliance systems.
Enterprise & SaaS
Customer-facing products, cloud estates, and internal tooling.
// 07 Why Katiti
The kestrel watches, then strikes with precision.
Katiti is the Seychelles kestrel, an endemic falcon that misses nothing in its field of view. It is the only bird of prey native to these islands, and it is the standard we hold ourselves to. Local by origin, uncompromising by method.
01
Reports two audiences can read
Deep technical detail for your engineers, and a plain-language summary a non-technical board can understand and fund. One document, both jobs done.
02
Evidence over noise
We never pad a report with low-value scanner output. Every finding is real, reproduced, and scored by its actual impact on your business.
03
Local presence, global standards
Based in Seychelles, fluent in the region, working to OWASP, PTES, and NIST. Close enough to care, rigorous enough to trust.
04
Discretion by default
What we learn about your systems stays between us. Confidentiality is written into every engagement, never an afterthought.

Fundamentals
Why "Welcome1" is still breaching banks in 2026
Vendor default credentials remain one of the most reliable ways into a critical system. Here is why they survive, and how to hunt them.

APIs
Your API is a map. Stop handing it out.
Unauthenticated blueprints and open endpoints give an attacker the whole floor plan before they try a single door. What to lock down first.

Reporting
A pentest report your board will actually read
Findings nobody acts on are wasted findings. How we write one document that serves both the engineer and the boardroom.
