Cybersecurity and Compliance Services
Security That Holds Up to Your Auditors and Enterprise Customers
Our cybersecurity practice is dedicated to cloud SaaS teams under outside scrutiny. We test the way a scanner can't, run the compliance program until your auditor signs off, and stay embedded once you're through it.
Moments That Put Cybersecurity Compliance on the Clock
Cybersecurity and Compliance Services, One Team from Finding to Fix
vCISO
We run your security program as a fractional CISO: strategy and roadmap, risk decisions, policies, and day-to-day ownership of security across your engineering teams. A named senior leader sits with your leadership, sets priorities, and reports to the board and investors in terms they can act on. The program folds in audits, customer questionnaires, and due diligence as part of that day-to-day ownership.
You get CISO-level ownership without a full-time hire: security has a clear owner, a roadmap, and priorities that keep pace with how fast you ship.
AI Security Services
Assessment, ISO 42001 readiness, adversarial testing, and secure AI-adoption advisory for teams shipping AI or LLM features, including prompt injection, agent manipulation, insecure output handling, and leakage of sensitive data. We also work through the AI-adoption decisions your engineering team is already facing, before a customer's security review forces the question.
You ship the AI feature and can answer an enterprise customer's AI-governance questions without stalling the release.
Penetration Testing Services
We test your web, cloud, API, and mobile software for the system vulnerabilities an attacker would use. Every engagement follows PTES and OWASP methodology, run manually by senior testers who understand how these products get built. The scope covers your software: web applications, cloud infrastructure, APIs, and mobile clients.
You get an auditor-ready report, backed by CREST-accredited testing, that clears the procurement questionnaire or audit requirement in front of you.

The same senior team stays on your codebase every release, so the same context carries from one release to the next. We test each release as it ships, catching regressions while they're still cheap to fix. It's the expand path once a single pentest engagement can't keep pace with how often you ship.
Vulnerabilities get caught and closed the release they're introduced in, instead of surfacing months later in the next scheduled pentest.
Compliance Readiness
We prepare you for the audits your customers and investors ask about: SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and ISO 42001. That's cybersecurity compliance consulting run hands-on: gap assessment, policy work, cybersecurity risk assessments, and the controls and evidence behind each audit, through to auditor sign-off. We handle the auditor's pushback directly, and the person answering their questions is the person who did the work.
You reach audit sign-off with controls and evidence an auditor accepts, and the program holds at the next audit too, instead of getting rebuilt from scratch each time.
20+ Certifications Behind Every Cybersecurity Standard You'll Be Asked About
Our security engineers hold 20+ active, hands-on certifications across AI/ML security, penetration testing, cloud, and application security. They're also active contributors to the OWASP API Security Top 10 and the emerging OWASP Autonomous Penetration Testing Standard, and help write EC-Council's AI security certification curricula.
Things We Won't Compromise On
Findings that matter, not scanner noise
Manual, senior testing across web, cloud, API, mobile, and AI stacks finds what automated scanners miss, and every report reaches you prioritized and ready to act on. About 80% of every engagement is manual work.
We stay to fix it
The work doesn't end when the report ships. Our engineers pair with yours through remediation — code review, IAM, pipeline hardening, re-test — until each finding closes and stays closed, with most fixes merging within 60–90 days. That's the complaint we hear most about every alternative: the report arrived, and nothing got fixed. On compliance, we own the outcome the same way, through to auditor sign-off.
No illusions, no fake promises
We won't tell you audit sign-off happens overnight, and we won't inflate a risk just to grow the engagement. We tell you what real security takes, on a realistic timeline.

Proof in Practice: How We Solved Cybersecurity Challenges for Three Clients
See what we actually did, click a project
AI Claims Agent, Hardened Across 38 Attack Scenarios
Challenge
The client put an LLM agent at the front of a live claims workflow, where it influences payout decisions on untrusted input. Before scaling it further, they needed proof it would resist real abuse, not just pass a standard pentest.
Service
- Dedicated adversarial red-team of the agent, separate from application and API testing
- A 38-scenario, OWASP-aligned abuse matrix, run across agent versions
- Every finding evidenced, rated for real-world exploitability, and retested
Outcome
- The fraud controls withstood every adversarial attack scenario tested
- Every gap that surfaced was closed and retested before it saw more volume
- The client can scale the agent knowing it won't be talked into a fraudulent payout
ISO 27001 Certified in Three Months
Challenge
The client was selling into enterprise procurement with no accredited security program. For a deep-tech startup, that missing proof was blocking revenue.
Service
- vCISO-led ISO 27001 and SOC 2 program
- CREST-accredited penetration testing of tenant isolation
- Secure cloud migration and DevSecOps hardening
Outcome
- ISO 27001 certified in roughly three months, the accredited proof enterprise deals required
- 300,000+ raw findings cut to under 100 in a week, through root-cause fixes
- Multi-tenant isolation validated by CREST testing, with an attestation letter to share with customers and auditors
ISO 42001 Certified in Three Months
Challenge
The client's enterprise customers started sending security questionnaires asking how its internal teams use AI: which tools, what data goes in, and how the output gets reviewed. ISO 27001 evidence didn't answer that, and case-by-case answers weren't going to hold up as AI use kept growing.
Service
- AI governance built into the existing ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 system, not a separate one
- A four-question screening for every AI tool in use, with a full impact assessment triggered only when needed
- An approved-tool list and mandatory AI-use training enforced through access controls
Outcome
- ISO/IEC 42001 certified in three months, from kickoff to audit readiness
- Security questionnaires about AI now get answered with certified documentation on hand, not pieced together case by case
- The client's internal team now runs the program independently, with no outside help needed
We Finish What the Alternatives Leave Half-Done
Every alternative gets you part of the picture. The one thing none of them do is stay until a finding is fixed.
Every Other Option
Tell you which controls are missing. Can't tell you if you'd survive a real attacker.
Hand you a PDF and move to the next client. No one pairs with your team on the fix.
They staff your security as one line item in a broader delivery contract. That breadth doesn't build the depth security testing needs.
With Verrant
Vanta or Drata for the easy controls; an engineer-led program for the findings and decisions a dashboard can't make.
Engineers find the root cause, fix it, and verify the finding stays closed.
Credentialed testers and a continuous retainer model.
Let's build security that holds up when it counts.
FAQ
Why should we trust Verrant's team experience?
The claim is specific: the team spent 10+ years embedded inside engineering teams shipping production cloud software, and testing is CREST-accredited. That's depth a security-only firm can't replicate short-term.
Is Verrant CREST accredited?
Verrant is the cybersecurity practice of TechMagic, a software engineering company shipping cloud products since 2014, now operating under its own name as it becomes a separate practice. Every engagement is contracted through TechMagic, which holds the CREST accreditation, and delivered by the same team.
Does Verrant only do penetration testing, or also compliance and ongoing security work?
Both. vCISO and Compliance runs the audit-ready program, and AppSec Subscription keeps testing going every release instead of once a year. Pentesting is one of five entry points, alongside AI Security Services.
Which compliance frameworks does Verrant work with?
Most often SOC (service organization control) 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA requirements, PCI DSS, ISO 42001 for AI systems, and FERPA for education data. We run the security and technical side of these regulatory frameworks, from gap assessment through auditor sign-off. On HIPAA we cover the security work, not legal deliverables like BAAs. On AI, we focus on ISO 42001 readiness.
Can Verrant run our cybersecurity compliance program, or only advise on it?
We run it. A vCISO and Compliance engagement, our core cybersecurity compliance services, owns the security controls, policies, and evidence behind your regulatory compliance requirements, from gap assessment through auditor sign-off. We pair with your compliance platform for the dashboard and handle the security work it can't.
How does the AppSec Subscription work?
It's a continuous retainer, not a one-off engagement. The same senior team stays on your codebase and tests each release as it ships, so regressions get caught while they're still cheap to fix.
What happens after we get the pentest report?
Our engineers pair with your team through remediation — code review, IAM, pipeline hardening, re-test — until each finding is closed and stays closed.
Is the testing automated or manual?
About 80% manual. AI accelerates triage. A person validates every finding before it reaches the report.
Does Verrant only work with certain industries?
No, we work across sectors. What usually brings a client to us is the moment they're in rather than the industry: an audit, an enterprise deal, a regulatory requirement, or investor review.
