Capabilities

What We
Deliver

Structured offensive security engagements for teams that ship fast and need to stay secure.

Penetration Testing

Full-scope network, web application, and infrastructure pentests using OWASP, PTES, and NIST methodologies. We go deeper than automated scans — manual exploitation, chained attack paths, and real-world proof of impact.

Network Web App Internal API

AI System Security Audits

Dedicated assessment of LLM endpoints, prompt injection vectors, model exfiltration risks, and unauthenticated AI APIs. Built for teams shipping AI products that need to pass due diligence.

Prompt Injection LLM APIs OWASP LLM Top 10

Vulnerability Assessment

Systematic identification and risk-scoring of exposures across applications and infrastructure. Delivered with clear POA&M documentation and prioritized remediation roadmaps.

Nessus Nmap OpenVAS

Red Team Operations

Multi-vector adversarial simulations including social engineering, phishing, and lateral movement — testing your full detection and response posture against realistic threat scenarios.

Social Engineering Lateral Movement Persistence

Compliance & Risk Advisory

Security control assessments and System Security Plans aligned to NIST RMF, ISO 27001, and PCI DSS — for audit readiness, investor due diligence, and enterprise procurement.

NIST RMF ISO 27001 PCI DSS SOC 2

Cloud & Zero Trust Review

Assessment of cloud configurations, ZTNA posture, IAM policies, and SIEM coverage across hybrid environments. We validate your architecture against real-world attack patterns.

Zscaler Okta / IAM Splunk AWS / Azure

vCISO & Security Program Operations

Fractional security leadership that builds and runs your ISMS — policies, risk registers, DR/BCP/IR planning, and monthly reporting cadence. Designed for startups that need a credible program without a full-time hire.

ISO 27001 ISMS Risk Register DR / BCP / IR Monthly Reporting

Vendor & Access Management Audits

Third-party risk assessments through SIG questionnaires, SOC 2 report reviews, and critical vendor classification. Paired with IAM audits covering roles, privilege, and access reviewability across your stack.

New Era.
New Threats.

AI integration is expanding your attack surface in ways traditional scanners can't see.

  • Prompt injection attacks on LLM-powered features and agents
  • Unauthenticated AI API endpoints exposed to the public internet
  • Training data poisoning and model exfiltration via crafted inputs
  • Insecure RAG pipelines leaking sensitive document context
  • Privilege escalation via AI-orchestrated tool calls
  • Shadow AI deployments bypassing security controls

How It Works

Our Engagement
Methodology

Structured, transparent, and collaborative from first call to final report.

01

Scoping Call

Define objectives, target systems, rules of engagement, and compliance requirements. No cookie-cutter proposals.

02

Reconnaissance

Passive and active intel gathering — open sources, network mapping, attack surface enumeration and threat modeling.

03

Exploitation

Controlled, real-world exploitation of identified vulnerabilities with documented proof-of-concept and impact assessment.

04

Reporting

Dual-track deliverable: technical deep-dive for engineers and executive summary for leadership and auditors. Clear remediation paths.

05

Remediation Support

We stay engaged post-report — validating fixes, re-testing patched surfaces, and answering implementation questions.

Program Cadence

Security That Runs
on a Schedule.

Continuous programs — not one-off snapshots. Know exactly what happens monthly, quarterly, and annually.

Security Built for
Startups That Ship.

ZIRIGI exists because most security firms are built for enterprises — not for teams moving fast, raising capital, and integrating AI into everything. We bridge that gap: adversarial-grade testing at a cadence and price point that works for funded startups.

Whether you're hardening your stack before a Series A security review, launching an AI product with LLM surfaces, or winning your first enterprise contract that requires a pentest report — ZIRIGI delivers findings you can act on, not a PDF that sits in a drawer.

Who We Work With
AI startups — LLM-powered products, RAG pipelines, AI agents needing security before launch or investor due diligence
Seed to Series B companies — closing enterprise deals that require a pentest report or SOC 2 readiness evidence
Engineering teams without a security hire — who need an external security partner, not another SaaS tool
Security by Startup Stage
Pre-Launch
Threat modeling, architecture review, fix vulns in code — not in production
Seed / A
Full pentest + investor-ready security report to clear due diligence fast
Series B+
SOC 2 readiness, red team ops, ongoing retainer as your surface scales
Post-Incident
Root-cause investigation, breach scope, and hardening roadmap
AI Products
LLM endpoints, prompt injection, RAG security — at any stage
Why Startups Choose Us
Startup-paced timelines Flat-rate pricing AI-native coverage Investor-ready reports Fix validation included No security hire needed SOC 2 readiness

Built on Rigor.
Ready to Scale.

ZIRIGI's methodology isn't startup-lite — it's rooted in U.S. military cyber operations and years inside enterprise SOCs running the same tools Fortune 500 security teams depend on. We apply that discipline to every engagement, regardless of company size.

As your company grows into enterprise contracts, regulated markets, or board-level security scrutiny — your pentest partner shouldn't change. Our reports are already framework-mapped, dual-track, and audit-ready. When the auditor asks, you'll have answers.

Common Questions

Straight Answers.
No Runaround.

The questions every CTO and founder asks before their first engagement.

How long does a pentest take?
Most engagements run 5–10 business days from kickoff to final report. Scope determines timeline — a focused web app test can be done in a week; a full infrastructure assessment may take two. We agree on the timeline before we start, with no surprises.
Do you work with early-stage startups that have a small environment?
Yes — this is exactly who we built ZIRIGI for. Smaller environments often have more critical exposures because security is deprioritized during early growth. We scope engagements to your actual environment and budget, not a Fortune 500 template.
What do I get at the end of an engagement?
A dual-track report: a technical deep-dive your engineers can act on immediately (CVEs, exploit chains, reproduction steps) and an executive summary your board or investors can read. Every finding includes a risk score, business impact, and a prioritized remediation path. We also validate fixes after you patch.
Can you test our AI features and LLM integrations?
Yes — and this is one of our specialties. We assess LLM endpoints, prompt injection vectors, unauthenticated AI APIs, RAG pipeline risks, and AI agent tool-call abuse against the OWASP LLM Top 10. Most firms can't do this yet. We built the capability specifically for AI-first product teams.
My investor / enterprise customer is asking for a pentest report. How fast can you move?
We understand deal timelines. If you have a deadline, tell us in the scoping call and we'll structure the engagement to meet it. We've helped companies get audit-ready and close enterprise deals on accelerated timelines without cutting corners on coverage.
Is pricing fixed or hourly?
We offer flat-rate engagement pricing so you know the full cost before we start — no billable hour surprises. Subscription and retainer clients get recurring assessments at a predictable monthly or quarterly rate. Pricing is discussed after the scoping call once we understand your environment.
Do you sign NDAs before the scoping call?
Yes, absolutely. All engagements are covered by a mutual NDA and a signed Rules of Engagement document before any testing begins. Confidentiality is foundational to how we operate — we work with sensitive environments and take that responsibility seriously.
