Security that holds up to an auditor — and an attacker.

Cyber Security services from ProSer Insights

ProSer Insights delivers security and risk assessments, penetration testing, server and cloud hardening, application security, compliance readiness for SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST 800-53/800-171 and CMMC, and ongoing monitoring — by engineers who harden and operate production systems every day, and who also answer the security questionnaires that gate your deals.

Who This Is For

Built for organizations that need to prove security, not just have it.

A vendor security questionnaire, a HIPAA review, a NIST self-assessment score, or a customer's pen-test requirement — the trigger is usually external, and the deadline is usually short. We work with three kinds of teams.

SMBs and SaaS companies facing security questionnaires

who need a defensible security program — policies, controls, evidence — and someone to answer the questionnaire accurately, fast, and without over-promising.

Government contractors and subcontractors

who must meet NIST SP 800-171 and CMMC requirements, report an SPRS score, or satisfy a prime's flow-down clauses — with a plan of action for every gap.

Healthcare and services organizations handling PHI and PII

that need a HIPAA risk assessment, hardened systems, access controls, and an incident-response plan an auditor or regulator will accept.

What We Do

Find the exposure. Fix it. Prove it.

Two groups of services. Each ends with a concrete deliverable — a ranked finding, a hardened system, or evidence in your compliance folder.

Assess

Security & risk assessment

Assets, threats, existing controls, and gaps across infrastructure, applications, identity, data, and people — scored by likelihood and impact and translated into a plan leadership can fund.

Deliverable

Risk register, control maturity scorecard, and prioritized remediation roadmap.

Vulnerability assessment & penetration testing

Authenticated and unauthenticated testing of external and internal networks, web applications, APIs, and cloud configurations — with exploitation to demonstrate real impact, and retesting after fixes.

Deliverable

Penetration test report with CVSS-ranked findings, evidence, and retest attestation.

Application security review

OWASP Top 10 testing, authentication and authorization review, secrets and dependency scanning, and secure-code review of critical paths — for your applications or the ones you are buying.

Deliverable

AppSec report with reproducible findings and fix guidance per issue.

Compliance gap analysis

SOC 2, HIPAA, NIST 800-53/800-171, CMMC, ISO 27001, PCI DSS — current state against each control, the evidence you have, the evidence you lack, and what closing each gap costs.

Deliverable

Gap analysis with control-by-control status and a plan of action and milestones (POA&M).

Protect

Server, cloud & network hardening

CIS-benchmark hardening of Linux and Windows hosts, cloud account and network configuration (AWS/Azure/GCP), database and container hardening, secure remote access — with the configuration under version control.

Deliverable

Hardened systems with baseline documentation and configuration evidence.

Identity & access management

Single sign-on, MFA everywhere, least-privilege roles, privileged access controls, joiner-mover-leaver processes, and access reviews with an audit trail.

Deliverable

IAM design, implemented controls, and quarterly access-review procedure.

Secure SDLC & DevSecOps

Security in the pipeline: dependency and container scanning, secrets detection, infrastructure-as-code checks, security testing gates, and developer training.

Deliverable

Pipeline security gates, policy, and developer secure-coding guide.

Monitoring, logging & incident response

Centralized logging, alerting on what matters, endpoint and cloud detection, an incident-response plan with runbooks, tabletop exercises, and on-call support.

Deliverable

Monitoring stack, IR plan, tabletop report, and defined response SLAs.

Why ProSer Insights

People who secure production systems — and write the compliance answers.

  1. 1

    We secure our own platforms.

    TimeFlow HR's append-only audit trail and charge-code authorization, ProSer VoiceAI's call-recording consent and data handling, hardened VPS and cloud deployments with key-only SSH, default-deny firewalls, and automated patching — these are our production controls, not slideware.

  2. 2

    We also write the questionnaire.

    Our presales and proposal team answers security sections of RFPs and vendor questionnaires. That means findings are translated into the language buyers and auditors use — and nothing is claimed that the evidence does not support.

  3. 3

    Practical hardening for real stacks.

    Ubuntu and Windows servers, PostgreSQL and SQL Server, Node and .NET applications, GitHub Actions pipelines, AWS/Azure/GCP — we harden the systems you actually run, with configuration you can re-apply.

  4. 4

    US and India delivery, one accountable lead.

    A US-based security lead owns scope, findings, and your auditor conversations; the India team delivers testing, remediation, and monitoring coverage around the clock.

Frameworks and tooling

Standards-based, evidence-driven.

  • Frameworks — NIST CSF, NIST SP 800-53 and 800-171, CMMC 2.0, SOC 2 (TSC), HIPAA Security Rule, ISO 27001, CIS Benchmarks, OWASP ASVS.
  • Testing — Nessus/OpenVAS, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, Nmap, Metasploit, cloud posture tools (Prowler, ScoutSuite).
  • Protection — SSO/MFA (Entra ID, Okta, Google), EDR, WAF/CDN, secrets managers, infrastructure as code with policy checks.
  • Monitoring — Centralized logging (Wazuh, ELK, cloud-native SIEM), alerting, and incident runbooks.
How It Runs

From scope to audit-ready in a defined program.

The lead who scopes the assessment owns the remediation and the audit conversation, so nothing is lost between the finding and the fix.

Assess

Week 0–1

Scoping & asset inventory

Systems, data, users, third parties, compliance drivers, and rules of engagement agreed.

Week 1–3

Week 3–4

Findings & remediation plan

Ranked findings, quick wins, and a costed roadmap presented to engineering and leadership.

FAQ

Questions we get before a security engagement.

What is the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?+

A scan is automated and finds known weaknesses; a penetration test has a person attempt to exploit them, chain them, and show real impact. Compliance programs often require both. We will tell you which your obligation actually needs.

Will testing break production?+

Rules of engagement define scope, windows, and excluded systems before we start; destructive tests are never run against production without explicit agreement. Most testing runs against staging with a controlled production validation.

Do you issue the certification?+

No — auditors and certification bodies do. We make you ready: controls in place, evidence organized, gaps documented. For self-attested frameworks like NIST 800-171 we produce the assessment and score with you.

Which clouds and platforms do you cover?+

AWS, Azure, and GCP; Linux and Windows servers; PostgreSQL, SQL Server, and MySQL; Node, .NET, and Java applications; Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace; GitHub and Azure DevOps pipelines.

What if we have an incident right now?+

Contact us. We provide incident response support — containment, investigation, recovery, and the notifications and reporting your obligations require — and then a plan so it does not recur.

Is monitoring 24×7?+

Our US and India teams give follow-the-sun coverage for alerts and response under a managed security retainer, with response SLAs defined in the agreement.
