Cybersecurity consulting, testing & managed security

Cybersecurity built into the systems we build and run for you.

One partner for your software, your cloud and the security around both. Orion’s security practice advises, tests and monitors — and our engineers close the findings, so nothing is lost between a report and a fix.

Penetration testing, red team and cloud security audits
SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and PCI DSS readiness
24/7 managed SOC and MXDR with SLA-backed response

Findings that get fixed, not filed

Most security reports end up as a backlog nobody owns. Because Orion already builds and runs much of your software and cloud, the people who find the risk and the people who close it work under one contract, on one timeline, with one retest at the end.

Testers who know your stack
Security work starts with the architecture and code context our delivery teams already hold.
Engineers who close the findings
Remediation can go straight to Orion engineering, then back to the testers for retest.

Assessments are run by the security practice, not by the people who built the system.
One contract, one report line
Software, cloud and security under one agreement and one accountable lead.

How we work

Four stages from first call to a closed finding

01

Discover & scope

A discovery call, then scope, objectives, rules of engagement and NDA agreed in writing.

Signed scope and rules of engagement
02

Assess

Testing, audit or gap analysis by certified practitioners, with critical findings flagged the same day.

Findings report rated by severity
03

Remediate

Retest & protect

Fixed findings are retested, then continuous monitoring and scanning keep the posture in place.

Ways to engage

Three ways to start, each scoped to your environment

Security work is priced against scope, not seats. Every engagement is quoted as a fixed fee or monthly retainer after the discovery call.

01 Most common starting point

Security assessment

A defined test or audit with a findings report, remediation guidance and a retest.

1–4 weeks
Fixed fee, scoped per engagement
Best for
A customer, investor or auditor asking for a recent pen-test or cloud audit report.
  • VAPT, red team, cloud or application testing
  • Signed rules of engagement before testing
  • Report within five business days
  • One retest of fixed findings included
Scope an assessment
02

Compliance programme

From gap analysis to audit-ready, with policies, controls and evidence built alongside your team.

3–6 months
Fixed fee by framework and scope
Best for
A SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA or PCI DSS deadline.
  • Gap analysis and remediation roadmap
  • Policy library and control design
  • Evidence collection and auditor liaison
  • Optional ongoing vCISO-style governance
Plan a readiness programme
03

Managed security

24/7 monitoring and response with continuous vulnerability and attack-surface management.

Monthly
Retainer, typically 12-month term
Best for
No out-of-hours security cover, or alerts nobody has time to triage.
  • 24/7 SOC and MXDR under SLA
  • Continuous attack-surface and vulnerability scanning
  • Incident escalation and containment playbooks
  • Monthly threat and posture report
Discuss managed security

Pricing is confirmed after the discovery call, once scope, environment size and any compliance deadlines are known. One retest of remediated findings is included in every assessment.

Before any testing starts

What we commit to in writing

The terms that decide whether a security engagement is safe to run are settled before the first scan.

NDA before scoping
Nothing about your environment is shared until a mutual NDA is signed.
Signed rules of engagement
Scope, windows, exclusions, contacts and stop conditions agreed before the first test.
Critical findings reported same day
Anything exploitable and severe is raised immediately, not held for the final report.
Retest included
Every assessment includes one retest of fixed findings and an updated report.
Your data stays controlled
Test data and evidence are encrypted, access-logged and destroyed on an agreed date.

Close the findings with the teams that run your stack

Security engagements connect directly to Orion’s cloud, DevOps and IT operations teams — one vendor, one contract.

Why Orion

Why businesses choose Orion for cybersecurity

Since 2012, Orion eSolutions has built and operated software and cloud platforms for startups and enterprises. Our security practice extends that work: the same delivery discipline, applied to testing, compliance and round-the-clock protection. Pair it with cloud managed services or DevOps engineers to close findings under the same contract.

ISO 27001 & CMMI-3 CISA · CISM · CEH · OSCP 24/7 SOC

Vulnerability scan or penetration test?

A vulnerability scan is automated and broad: it lists known weaknesses across your estate and should run continuously. A penetration test is manual and deep: certified testers chain weaknesses together to show what an attacker could actually reach. Most organisations need scanning all year and a penetration test at least annually or after major change.

When do you need a managed SOC?

When alerts arrive outside business hours and nobody is there to act on them. Building an in-house 24/7 security operations team takes five or more analysts plus SIEM and EDR tooling. A managed SOC provides the analysts, the detection rules and the response playbooks as a service, with response times written into the SLA.

How long does SOC 2 or ISO 27001 readiness take?

Typically three to six months from gap analysis to audit-ready, depending on how many controls already exist and how quickly evidence can be produced. SOC 2 Type II then needs an observation period of three to twelve months before the report is issued. The certificate or report itself always comes from an accredited, independent auditor.

How to evaluate a security partner

Ask for a sample report and the methodology behind it. Ask who will run the test and what certifications they hold. Confirm that retesting is included, that rules of engagement are signed before testing begins, and that findings are rated with a recognised scoring system such as CVSS. Then start with a scoped discovery call.

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before a security engagement

Independence, disruption, timelines and what you get at the end.

Book a discovery call

Security testing is run by a dedicated security practice, not by the engineers on your delivery team. Testers work to a signed scope and published methodology, and the findings report goes to you directly. You decide who fixes each issue — Orion engineering, your own team or another vendor.

Most web, API or network tests run one to three weeks depending on scope. The written report follows within five business days of testing ending, and one retest of fixed findings is included.

Rules of engagement are signed before testing begins: scope, test windows, excluded systems, emergency contacts and stop conditions. High-risk tests can be run against staging, and any critical finding is reported to you immediately rather than waiting for the final report.

We prepare you for it: gap analysis, policies, control implementation, evidence and auditor liaison. The SOC 2 report or ISO certificate itself is issued by an accredited, independent auditor, which we can help you select.

Endpoints, identity, cloud workloads, email and network telemetry, depending on the sources you connect. Response targets for each severity level are written into the SLA before go-live, and containment actions follow playbooks you approve in advance.

Usually not. We work with the platforms you already run, such as Microsoft Defender and Sentinel, CrowdStrike or Splunk, and only recommend tooling where there is a clear coverage gap.
