Compliance
We regularly support ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA programs, and can map engagement results to your specific framework.
Our reports are designed to meet auditor and regulator expectations, including the independent testing evidence required by frameworks such as PCI DSS and SOC 2.
Yes. Our compliance consulting helps you achieve readiness and remediation for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, GDPR, and HIPAA.
SOC 2 is a widely required audit that proves you handle customer data securely. If you are a SaaS or service company that processes client data, customers increasingly require it. Independent penetration testing and continuous monitoring directly support your SOC 2 program.
They are different security standards. SOC 2 covers data-handling controls and is common in SaaS. ISO 27001 is an international information-security management certification. PCI DSS is required for any business that stores or processes payment-card data. All three expect regular security testing.
Engagements
Every engagement begins with a scoping call to understand your goals, environment, and constraints, followed by a written proposal and rules of engagement before any testing starts.
Pricing is based on scope, complexity, and the depth of testing required. We provide fixed-price proposals after scoping so there are no surprises.
Yes. We are NDA-friendly by default and treat all client data and findings as strictly confidential.
Yes. Many clients move to a retainer for continuous testing, priority incident response, and an ongoing security partnership.
Depending on scope and current capacity, most engagements can begin within one to three weeks of agreeing terms. Incident response is far faster.
General
We work with financial services, healthcare, SaaS, logistics, retail, and the public sector for clients worldwide.
Yes. The majority of our testing is delivered remotely, with on-site options for red team and OT/ICS work where required.
Our team holds OSCP, OSEP, CRTO, GIAC, and similar industry certifications, backed by years of hands-on experience.
We scope carefully and coordinate windows; destructive tests are only run with explicit written authorization.
We deliver globally from offices in Pakistan and the United States, serving clients worldwide with broad time-zone coverage.
Reach out through our contact page with a short description of what you need. We will respond within one business day to arrange a scoping call.
Yes. Small and mid-sized businesses are frequent targets precisely because attackers expect weaker defenses. Affordable, scoped penetration testing and managed monitoring dramatically reduce your risk for a fraction of the cost of a breach.
We work across financial services, healthcare, SaaS, logistics, retail, manufacturing, and the public sector.

Incident Response
IR retainer clients receive a response within the hour; ad-hoc incidents are triaged same-day where capacity allows.
Contain the incident, preserve evidence and engage incident response immediately. TechBiz Security helps you contain the breach, investigate the root cause, eradicate the threat, recover safely and meet any breach-notification obligations.
Managed Services
An MSSP delivers security operations as a service — 24/7 monitoring, threat detection and incident response — so you get an enterprise-grade Security Operations Center (SOC) without building and staffing one in-house. TechBiz Security offers fully managed security services including managed SIEM and MDR.
MSSP is the broad managed-security model — monitoring, SIEM, compliance support and response. MDR (Managed Detection and Response) focuses specifically on advanced threat detection and rapid response across endpoints, network and cloud. TechBiz Security Managed Security Services include MDR.
A SOC is the team and toolset that continuously monitors, detects and responds to security threats. With SOC-as-a-Service, TechBiz Security runs a 24/7 SOC for you — monitoring, threat hunting and incident response — without the cost of building one yourself.
Process
Incident response retainer clients receive a response within the hour. Ad-hoc incidents are triaged the same day where capacity allows.
We scope carefully and agree windows in advance. Any potentially disruptive action requires your explicit written approval before it is performed.
We are NDA-friendly by default and apply strict access controls, encryption in transit, and secure handling of all findings and evidence.
An executive summary for leadership, a detailed technical report with reproduction steps and evidence, prioritized remediation guidance, and a retest where included.
Reporting
You receive an executive summary for leadership and a detailed technical report with reproduction steps, evidence, risk ratings, and prioritized remediation guidance.
Findings are rated using CVSS alongside a business-impact assessment, so you can fix what truly matters first rather than chasing a flat list.
Yes. Beyond reporting, we provide remediation guidance, debrief calls, and retesting to verify that fixes are effective.
Security Basics
MFA requires a second proof of identity beyond a password, such as a hardware key or app code. It blocks the vast majority of account-takeover attacks and is one of the highest-impact controls you can enable.
Phishing tricks people into revealing information or clicking malicious links. Defend with phishing-resistant MFA, frequent training and simulations, email authentication (SPF, DKIM, DMARC), and an easy way to report suspicious emails.
Ransomware encrypts your data and demands payment. If hit, isolate affected systems immediately, preserve evidence, and engage incident response. Tested offline backups are the best protection.
It means giving each user or system only the minimum access needed to do its job. This limits how far an attacker can move if one account is compromised.
Zero trust is a security model that never automatically trusts any user or device, even inside the network. Every request is verified based on identity, device health, and context.
Services
A vulnerability assessment identifies and lists potential weaknesses, usually with automated scanning. A penetration test goes further: skilled testers manually exploit and chain those weaknesses to prove real business impact.
A penetration test is a controlled, authorized simulated cyber attack that finds and safely exploits vulnerabilities before real attackers do. It gives you a prioritized, evidence-based view of your true risk so you can fix what matters most — and it is often required for SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS and HIPAA compliance.
At least annually, and after any major change to your applications or infrastructure. Many compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS require regular testing.
The cost depends on scope, complexity and the type of test (web application, network, cloud or red team). Most engagements are priced per project after a short scoping call, and TechBiz Security gives you a fixed, no-surprise quote up front. Request a free, no-obligation proposal from our Contact page.
A red team is a goal-based, real-world attack simulation that tests your people, processes, and technology together, rather than just scanning a single system.
At least once a year, and after any major change — a new application, an infrastructure migration or a significant code release. Many compliance frameworks such as PCI DSS and SOC 2 expect at least annual testing plus a retest of the fixes.
Yes. Our Cloud Security Assessment reviews configuration, identity and access management, and exposure across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
A vulnerability scan is automated and lists potential issues. A penetration test adds expert manual testing that confirms which issues are actually exploitable, chains them together and demonstrates real business impact — far fewer false positives and much deeper coverage.
A penetration test assesses a defined scope for as many vulnerabilities as possible. A red team operation is goal-based adversary emulation — it pursues a specific objective such as access to crown-jewel data using stealth across people, process and technology to test how well you detect and respond.
Threat intelligence is curated information about active threats, attacker techniques and your specific exposure. It is used to prioritize defenses, tune detections and catch attacks earlier.
A professional web application penetration test, aligned to the OWASP Top 10, checks for injection, broken authentication, access-control flaws and business-logic issues. Automated scanners miss logic flaws — manual testing by certified testers finds them.
