Optimization & Maintenance
A real assessment of what's exposed, ranked by exploitability rather than by scanner severity — with the fixes implemented and retested, not handed over as a PDF.
Is this you?
Most breaches exploit something ordinary that was known about and never closed.
Nobody has ever tested it
The site handles customer data and payments and has never had anyone deliberately try to break into it.
A customer or insurer is now asking
A security questionnaire, a procurement review or a renewal is asking questions nobody internally can answer.
You've already been hit once
Something was cleaned up, but nobody established how they got in — so the door is presumably still open.
Access has accumulated for years
Old admin accounts, ex-staff logins, shared credentials and API keys in code, with no inventory of who can reach what.
Overview
A report nobody acts on has changed nothing about your risk.
Security work has a credibility problem, and it's earned. The common pattern is an automated scan producing two hundred findings, most of them theoretical, delivered as a PDF that lands on someone's desk and stays there. Nothing gets fixed, the risk is unchanged, and everyone involved has a document suggesting otherwise.
We do it differently in two respects. First, the assessment combines automated scanning with manual testing, because scanners find known signatures and miss the things that actually get exploited — broken access control, logic flaws in checkout or account flows, exposed admin surfaces, credentials in repositories. Every real finding is demonstrated with proof rather than asserted from a version number, and ranked by how exploitable it genuinely is against your setup, not by a generic severity score.
Second, we fix things. Remediation is part of the engagement, not a follow-on quote: patching, access control, session and authentication handling, security headers, input validation, file permissions, and firewall configuration. Then we retest, so every finding is confirmed closed rather than assumed. Where a fix is genuinely a product decision rather than a bug, we say so plainly and give you the risk in terms you can weigh against the cost.
Capabilities
Nine areas of security work. Scope is agreed in writing before anything is tested.
Automated scanning combined with manual review across your application, dependencies, server configuration and exposed services.
Authorised, scoped attempts to exploit what's found — injection, broken access control, authentication bypass and business logic flaws.
Account inventory, privilege review, dormant and shared credential cleanup, and a hunt for secrets committed into repositories.
Password policy, multi-factor enforcement, session handling, token expiry and lockout rules brought to current standards.
File permissions, exposed services, TLS configuration, security headers and firewall rules corrected and documented.
Compromised sites cleaned, backdoors and persistence removed, entry point identified and closed, blacklists appealed.
Plugins, packages and third-party scripts assessed for known vulnerabilities, abandonment and unnecessary privilege.
Technical controls mapped against GDPR, PCI DSS or SOC 2 requirements, with evidence prepared for questionnaires and audits.
Intrusion detection, integrity monitoring, logging and an incident response plan naming who does what when something happens.
Deliverables

Tooling supports the testing; the findings that matter come from manual work.

Protection & Monitoring
Our Process
Six phases. Scope and authorisation are agreed in writing before any testing begins.
Engagement
Three shapes, depending on whether this is prevention, compliance or an emergency.
Full assessment, remediation and retest at a fixed price. The standard engagement for a site that has never been properly tested.
Fit
And, just as usefully, who it isn't for.
Why DM Solutions
Four commitments aimed at your risk actually being lower afterwards.
Scanners find known signatures. Broken access control and business logic flaws — the things that actually get exploited — are found by hand.
Findings are ordered by what could genuinely be exploited against your setup, with proof. A list of two hundred theoretical issues helps nobody act.
Remediation is part of the engagement rather than a follow-on quote. A report that sits unactioned has changed nothing about your exposure.
Every finding is retested and shown closed. Anything we can't fix is stated plainly with the residual risk, rather than quietly dropped.
Proof of work
Engagements where findings were fixed and confirmed rather than filed.

Questions
The six that come up before every security engagement.
A scan is automated pattern matching against known vulnerability signatures — fast, cheap, and it produces a lot of noise alongside the real issues. A penetration test is a person deliberately attempting to exploit what's there, including broken access control and business logic flaws no scanner recognises. We do both, because the scan gives coverage and the manual work gives the findings that actually matter.
