Request Free Cyber Security Support

Security Aid provides practical security and SOC advisory free of charge where capacity allows. A request is an application only. Web application testing is only performed after explicit written authorisation and an agreed scope.

What may be available

Security Aid does not advertise general infrastructure penetration testing. For web application testing, Security Aid will never test a system without explicit permission from an authorised representative of the organisation that owns or controls the target. Testing only begins after written authorisation, an agreed scope and rules of engagement.
