// About us

A Full Service Cybersecurity Company Built on Manual Testing

Most businesses do not find out about a security gap until it is too late. A missed patch, an exposed API, or an overprivileged account can turn into a breach or a failed audit fast.

Pluto Security is built around real testing, not automated scan reports repackaged as findings. Our certified professionals hold OSCP, CISSP, GIAC, and GPEN credentials, and every methodology we use aligns with OWASP, NIST, PTES, and MITRE ATT&CK. We tell you what is exploitable, what it means for your business, and how to fix it.

Attack path4 findings · 1 breach
  1. Info

    Forgotten staging subdomain, still reachable

  2. Low

    Service account password reused from a 2019 breach dump

  3. Medium

    That account can read the internal file share

  4. Critical

    Share holds a domain admin token, full compromise

Found by hand, proven, then retested after your fix.

Offensive Testing

  • Manual penetration testing across web, API, network, and cloud
  • Zero false positives, every finding proven by hand

Vulnerability Management

Our Cybersecurity & Penetration Testing Services

Cyber security is not one service, it is a set of disciplines working together. Our solutions cover offensive testing, cloud protection, identity security, and compliance, all delivered by a team that treats every engagement like it matters.

// Why choose us

What Makes Us Different

Anyone can run a scanner. We win on the work a scanner cannot do, proven by hand and signed off by senior operators.

  • Manual First

    Humans find business-logic flaws and chained paths automated tools never will.

  • Certified Operators

    OSCP, CISSP, GPEN, GPENT and GIAC certified testers on every engagement.

  • Zero False Positives

    We prove exploitability before it reaches your report. If it’s there, it’s real.

  • Compliance Ready

    Deliverables mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and HIPAA out of the box.

A Scanner Says What Might Be Wrong. We Prove What Is

Automated scan alone~30%

Coverage of real, exploitable risk

  • Misses up to 70% of exploitable vulnerabilities
  • Flags false positives your team wastes time chasing
  • No proof a finding is actually exploitable
  • Stops at a compliance checkbox

Coverage of real, exploitable risk

  • Chains findings into real, impact-driven attack paths
  • Zero false positives, every finding validated by hand
  • Proof-of-concept evidence for every issue we report
  • Remediation guidance and a free retest, always
// Compliance

Testing Mapped to the Audits That Matter

Every engagement is aligned to the frameworks your customers, auditors, and insurers ask about, so a Pluto report moves you toward certification instead of just filling a folder.

  • SOC 2 Type II

    Independent audit of security, availability, and confidentiality controls.

  • ISO 27001

    The international standard for information security management systems.

  • HIPAA

    Safeguards for electronic protected health information (ePHI).

  • PCI DSS

    Security controls for organizations that store or process cardholder data.

  • GDPR

    Data protection and privacy obligations for handling EU personal data.

  • NIST CSF

    A risk-based framework for identifying, protecting, and responding to threats.

// The threat landscape

Compliance says you’re fine.
Attackers disagree.

A passing audit is a snapshot, not a defense. Real intruders chain the small gaps a checklist never checks, the ones only manual testing finds.

// What we solve

The Cybersecurity Challenges We Help You Solve

Most organizations do not get breached because attackers outsmart them. They get breached because a vulnerability sat unnoticed, an access control got misconfigured, or a compliance check got treated as a formality.

Ransomware and Data Breaches

Our penetration testing services find the openings attackers would use before they use them, so an attempted breach does not turn into a headline.

Compliance Pressure

HIPAA, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and NIST requirements keep expanding. Our cyber security consulting team helps you meet them without a last-minute scramble.

Remote and Hybrid Work Risks

A distributed workforce expands your attack surface. We secure the endpoints, identities, and connections that come with remote and hybrid teams.

Limited Visibility

Without centralized monitoring, threats can sit inside your network for weeks. Our managed cyber security services give your team the visibility to catch them sooner.

// How we work

Our Penetration Testing Process

STEP 01

Scoping

We define your systems, environment, and objectives so the engagement targets what matters most, internal, external, or both.
STEP 02

Testing

Certified testers manually assess your environment using an attacker-driven methodology. Automated tools support coverage, never replace manual work.
STEP 03

Reporting

You receive a clear, audit-ready report that ranks findings by real business risk, backed by proof of exploitation, not raw scanner output.
STEP 04

Remediation Support

We walk your developers and IT staff through fixes step by step, so findings turn into resolved issues instead of a report that sits unread.
STEP 05

Free Retest

Once fixes are in place, we retest the affected systems at no extra cost to confirm the vulnerabilities are fully closed.

What You Get: Audit Ready Security Reports

A penetration testing company is only as useful as the report it hands back. Every engagement ends with a document built for both your technical team and your leadership, and to hold up when an auditor asks questions.

  • Executive summary. A plain-language overview for leadership, covering overall risk and business impact.
  • Technical findings. Detailed results, each with proof of exploitation, affected systems, and severity.
  • Risk ranking. Every vulnerability ranked by real-world exploitability, not just a raw CVSS score.
  • Remediation guidance. Specific, actionable fixes mapped to your actual stack, not generic advice.
  • Compliance mapping. Findings mapped to SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA, and NIST, so the report doubles as audit evidence.
