Cybersecurity Consulting

Security that locks down risk, not your business.

verrou helps growing companies find their weaknesses before attackers do —
through hands-on testing, executive-level guidance, and remediation your teams can act on.

PQC scanning, built in-house

Our cryptographic discovery starts with our own scanner — purpose-built to inventory algorithms, keys, and certificates across your environment and grade them against NIST post-quantum standards.

Every PQC engagement includes a dashboard like this: your cryptographic estate, risk-graded and mapped to a migration plan.

Explore PQC Readiness
verrou PQC scanner Readiness Report for a sample estate: 10 services PQC enabled, 1 unknown, 3 disabled, graded C- at 71% ready, with strict CNSA 2.0 conformance on four axes: key exchange ML-KEM-1024 2/13, signatures ML-DSA-87 1/11, symmetric AES-256 11/11, hashing SHA-384/512 10/11

How an engagement works

Clear scope, no surprises, and deliverables your engineers and your board can both act on.

01 — SCOPE

Understand

We map your environment, threat model, and business priorities to define a scope that matters.

02 — ASSESS

Test & Analyze

Hands-on assessment with continuous communication — critical findings are flagged immediately, not at report time.

03 — REPORT

Deliver Clarity

Prioritized, plain-language reporting with concrete remediation steps and an executive summary that stands on its own.

04 — SECURE

Verify & Support

Retesting of fixes and ongoing guidance, so improvements stick instead of sliding back.

What we do

Focused offerings, delivered by senior practitioners — not a bench of junior consultants.

Artificial Intelligence Security (AI‑BOM)

Assessments of LLM applications and AI pipelines: prompt injection, data leakage, model supply chain, and safe deployment guidance for AI-powered products. We also red-team agentic systems — autonomous workflows, tool integrations, and the permissions behind them.

Dark Web Monitoring

Analyst-led watch over criminal forums, marketplaces, leak sites and infostealer-log listings for your credentials, data and access — each finding triaged with what it unlocks and what to do next. Read-only by design: we never buy, bargain or log in. In preparation: not yet taking on clients.

Digital Discovery

External attack surface discovery and a threat profile: from the IP addresses, domains and subsidiaries you know about, we will look for internet-facing assets you’re missing, with the evidence for each, and nothing will go beyond an ordinary visitor’s requests until you confirm it’s yours and authorise us in writing. In preparation: not yet taking on clients.

M&A Cybersecurity Due Diligence

For acquirers and private equity: assess the target before it joins your network, identity, data or tools — a compromise assessment, an integration gate, and findings your deal team can price, condition or fix. Due diligence, not an audit.

Learn more →

Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness (CBOM)

Cryptographic inventory, risk assessment, and migration roadmaps to NIST-standardized quantum-resistant algorithms — so you can protect long-lived data against harvest-now, decrypt-later threats. We align your roadmap with the CNSA 2.0, US federal, EU, UK and other national timelines relevant to your sector and markets.

Product Penetration Testing

Real-world offensive testing of your physical product, web, mobile and desktop apps, APIs, firmware, networks, build pipeline, and the cloud infrastructure behind them — with findings ranked by actual business impact, not CVSS noise. Retesting of fixes is always included.

Learn more →

Vulnerability Scanning

Monthly dynamic scanning of your web apps, APIs, mobile apps, networks and cloud — every finding checked by a practitioner, false positives removed, and a monthly report of what is new, fixed and still open. Part of every penetration test, and available on its own.

verrou is led by cybersecurity practitioners with experience across offensive security and security leadership. Every engagement is scoped, executed, and reported by senior hands — no handoffs, no bloated teams, no boilerplate.

We work best with growing companies that need serious security outcomes without enterprise-consultancy overhead.
