San Francisco Penetration Testing & Cybersecurity
The Bay Area builds the software the world runs on. We deliver penetration testing for San Francisco's SaaS companies, AI startups, fintech platforms, and enterprise software -scoped for teams that ship fast and need security that keeps pace.
Testing in San Francisco
San Francisco and the greater Bay Area remain the epicenter of the global technology industry. The concentration of venture-backed startups, enterprise SaaS companies, AI/ML platforms, and developer tool companies creates an enormous attack surface and intense compliance pressure. CCPA/CPRA -California's landmark privacy law -imposes strict data protection requirements on any business handling California residents' personal information. SOC 2 has become the table stakes for B2B SaaS companies selling to enterprise buyers. Meanwhile, the explosion of AI-generated code (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) is creating new vulnerability patterns that traditional security testing misses -making vibe coding security reviews increasingly critical for Bay Area companies.

Scoped for San Francisco
Delivery is remote-first, which is what keeps scoping fast and pricing fixed. Where scope genuinely needs someone in the building - physical testing, on-site social engineering, an air-gapped environment - we travel, and it is quoted up front rather than added later.
