Offensive & Defensive Security

Find the breach before the attacker does.

Softous Solutions helps engineering and security teams stress-test, harden and prove the resilience of what they've built — from a single application to your entire cloud estate.

What we do

Seven disciplines. One security partner.

Every engagement is scoped around how your systems are actually attacked — not a generic checklist. Pick a single service or lean on us as an extension of your team.

01 · OFFENSIVE

Penetration Testing

Manual, attacker-driven testing of your web apps, APIs, mobile apps and networks — with clear, reproducible proof of impact.

02 · CLOUD

Cloud & Infra Security

Architecture review and hardening across AWS, Azure and GCP — identity, network segmentation, storage and workload security.

03 · GOVERNANCE

Audit & Compliance

Gap assessments and readiness support for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI-DSS and other frameworks your customers ask about.

04 · APPSEC

Secure Code Review

Line-by-line and tool-assisted review to catch injection flaws, broken auth and logic errors before they ship to production.

05 · HUMAN RISK

Phishing Simulation

Realistic email and social-engineering campaigns that measure — and improve — how your people respond under pressure.

06 · LEADERSHIP

Virtual CISO

Fractional security leadership — risk roadmaps, board reporting and policy — for teams that need direction, not another hire.

07 · HARDENING

Configuration Review

Deep review of servers, firewalls, IAM and third-party services against secure baselines — closing the gaps default setups leave open.

How an engagement runs

The same five stages, every time.

Predictable process, unpredictable findings. You always know what stage we're in and what happens next.

01

Recon

Map the attack surface — assets, entry points and exposure.

02

Assess

Identify and validate vulnerabilities across the target scope.

03

Exploit

Demonstrate real-world impact, safely and within agreed rules.

04

Report

Clear findings, severity ratings and reproduction steps — no jargon.

05

Remediate

Fix guidance and re-testing until every finding is closed out.

Why teams work with us

Security testing that reads like engineering, not a sales pitch.

No auto-generated scanner PDFs. Every report is written by the person who ran the test, with proof-of-concept steps your developers can actually use.

  • Manual-first testing — automated tools narrow scope, people find the real issues.
  • Fix-ready reporting — severity, business impact and remediation steps in one place.
  • Free re-testing — we confirm every fix before you close the ticket.

Cloud & Infrastructure

Built for how your infrastructure actually grows.

Multi-account AWS, hybrid networks, containers, CI/CD pipelines — we review the environment as it is today, not a reference architecture from a slide deck.

  • Identity & access review — least-privilege gaps, stale roles, over-permissioned services.
  • Network & segmentation — exposure mapping across VPCs, subnets and edge services.
  • Data protection — encryption, backup and storage configuration checks.

Human Risk

Your firewall doesn't stop a convincing email.

Most breaches start with a click, not an exploit. We run realistic phishing and social-engineering simulations, then turn the results into targeted awareness training — so the next real attempt gets reported, not clicked.

  • Custom campaigns — scenarios built around your actual tools and workflows.
  • Click & report metrics — a clear baseline and trend over time, by team.
