Cybersecurity for IT and development
Organizations: product- and service-based IT companies, development teams, outsourcing/staff augmentation
We help development teams ship secure code, pass client security reviews and protect their products and infrastructure without slowing down releases.
Cybersecurity challenges in IT companies
Security versus release speed
CI/CD and deadline pressure push teams to ship fast and leave security requirements "for later." Vulnerabilities and hard-coded secrets make it into releases, and fixing them afterward costs far more than eliminating them before shipping.
AI-generated code (vibe coding)
Generative AI speeds up development but ignores security requirements. Along with the features, the product inherits vulnerabilities typical of vibe coding and hard-coded secrets that the team doesn't suspect until the first incident.
Security as a condition of the deal
Enterprise clients, investors, and large B2B partners increasingly require proof of security — SOC 2, ISO 27001, a pentest report — before signing. Without it, deals stall and potential revenue is delayed, sometimes critically.
Sprawling environment infrastructure
Dev, staging, test, and prod, plus temporary instances and demos, get spun up quickly and aren't always torn down. Forgotten subdomains, exposed services, and outdated environments pile up and become the weakest link instead of the well-protected main product.
Supply chain and dependencies
A modern product is dozens of third-party libraries, packages, and services. A vulnerability in a dependency or a compromised package becomes your problem, and the team can't keep track of the whole chain manually.
No in-house security expertise
In small teams, security rests on the developers, and there's no dedicated specialist, let alone a CISO even part-time. There's simply no one to build out systematic security processes.

Cybersecurity Products and Services for IT and Development
Building cybersecurity
Security at every stage of development. We integrate cybersecurity requirements into the software development lifecycle — from architecture design to testing and release — so that security is built into every release and into CI/CD rather than added after the fact. The service covers Secure SDLC, DevSecOps, Threat Modeling, Code Review, AI SAST, and the security assessment of AI-based systems and products.
An objective assessment of your current cybersecurity posture. We comprehensively evaluate your infrastructure, security architecture, processes, and level of cyber maturity — including readiness for the requirements enterprise clients impose (SOC 2, ISO 27001). As a result, you get a clear picture of the risks, remediation priorities, and a practical roadmap.
A modern identity and access management system based on the principle of least privilege — access to repositories, CI/CD pipelines, and the cloud. Our solutions cover: Access Matrix; Role-Based Access Control; Privileged Access Management; Identity Governance; Access Reviews; management of privileged accounts; and Joiner–Mover–Leaver processes.
We assess the architecture, configurations, access models, logging mechanisms, and security posture of AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and private cloud environments where your products live. As a result, you get practical recommendations for eliminating insecure configurations, protecting data, and strengthening the resilience of your infrastructure.
Even the best technologies do not eliminate human-factor risks. We build a security culture through interactive training, hands-on scenarios, and phishing attack simulations, adapted to technical and non-technical roles on the team.
Continuous cybersecurity monitoring
Automated penetration testing based on more than 100 attack methodologies used by elite defenders in Gov & Defence Tech. We test your product, web applications, and APIs the way a real attacker would, and we account for the vulnerabilities typical of vibe coding. Thanks to AI agents, you get an enterprise-grade pentest with a report suitable for international compliance and for closing enterprise deals, in just four days. Every vulnerability is confirmed with a proof of concept.
A SaaS platform that automatically monitors your external perimeter — domains, subdomains, externally exposed services — and detects data leaks and vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them. For development teams, this means control over all environments (dev, staging, prod) and forgotten instances that often become an entry point. Assessment runs entirely from the outside.
AI SAST
Free component of Recon + ExposureStatic code analysis following the OWASP WSTG methodology: it checks your entire codebase in minutes and delivers a Markdown report ready to hand to an AI agent for fast remediation — so that vulnerabilities and hard-coded secrets are caught before release.
Detecting technical risks before attackers exploit them. We test the security of web applications, APIs, servers, network infrastructure, corporate systems, and cloud environments. The assessment covers not only finding technical vulnerabilities but also analyzing their potential business impact. The result is a prioritized remediation plan with practical recommendations.
Compliance with industry standards and requirements
A42 Governance, Risk & Compliance Platform
Coming soonCybersecurity, risks and compliance in a single system. A42's platform lets you simultaneously assess your actual security posture, the organization's maturity level and compliance with international standards and regulatory requirements. The platform automates assessment, risk management, compliance tracking, and roadmap creation, linking the provisions of standards to real technical and organizational measures. It supports compliance assessment against ISO/IEC 27001, NIS2, PCI DSS, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, and other standards.
AI Security Platform
Coming soonA42 platform that assesses the security and trustworthiness of your AI systems against the requirements of the EU AI Act, relevant for teams building AI-based products for the European market, helping to prepare for its conformity obligations in advance.
