Cyber Security Audits

Dragon AI · Cyber Security

Assume you’ll be attacked. Be ready.

AI has made security work faster for defenders and attackers. Dragon AI gives UK businesses a clear, evidence-led cyber security audit—finding the routes in, reducing the damage a breach could cause, and proving you can recover.

The new security reality

Security by assumption, not optimism.

The goal is not to promise that you will never be breached. It is to make compromise harder, spot it sooner, limit the blast radius and recover without losing control of your business.

AI is lowering the cost of finding weaknesses. Defenders have powerful tools too—but only if they use them before an incident.

A Dragon AI cyber security audit combines AI-assisted analysis with human judgement, live configuration evidence and your real operational context. Every hypothesis is checked; every finding is separated from what remains unverified.

01

Find the routes in

Identify exposed accounts, unsafe configurations, vulnerable code paths and suppliers that could become an attacker’s shortest route.

02

Reduce the blast radius

Strengthen MFA, permissions, tenant boundaries, payments and sensitive actions so one compromised account cannot become a company-wide incident.

03

Prove you can recover

Test the plans, backups, ownership and supplier dependencies your business will rely on when prevention is no longer enough.

Your real attack surface

A cyber security audit built around your business.

A login page is only one doorway. We follow the systems, people and suppliers that keep your operation moving—and the connections an attacker would try to turn against you.

01 / IDENTITY

Accounts & access

MFA, passwords, recovery, sessions, shared accounts, privileged roles, leavers and administrator blast radius.

02 / WEB

Websites, apps & APIs

Authentication, authorisation, tenant isolation, exposed endpoints, security headers, dependencies and common application weaknesses.

03 / CLOUD

Cloud & source code

Hosting, databases, secrets, environments, deployment gates, logs, storage, repositories and software supply chains.

04 / EMAIL

Email & domains

Account protection, phishing exposure, SPF, DKIM, DMARC, DNS, recovery domains and high-risk communications.

05 / MONEY

Payments & transactions

Gateway configuration, webhooks, refunds, replay protection, booking integrity and the roles able to change money flows.

06 / DATA

Data & privacy

Where personal and financial data lives, who can reach it, how it leaves, retention, audit evidence and high-impact exports.

07 / SUPPLIERS

SaaS & third parties

Vendor assurance, subprocessors, incident terms, key-person risk, data portability and dependencies outside your direct control.

08 / RECOVERY

Backups & continuity

Recovery targets, independent backups, restore evidence, break-glass ownership, incident response and practical exit plans.

How the audit works

Evidence first. Then action.

We do not hand you a 200-page scanner export. We establish what matters, inspect the evidence, validate safely and turn the result into a sequence your team can actually deliver.

01

Map

Identify critical services, sensitive data, privileged users, suppliers and the transactions you cannot afford to lose.

02

Inspect

Review approved source, live behaviour, cloud configuration, account controls, dependencies and recovery evidence.

03

Validate

Use non-destructive checks and, where explicitly authorised, controlled testing against dedicated users and data.

04

Prioritise

Rank issues by exploitability, business impact and recovery difficulty—not by a tool’s generic score.

05

Improve

Agree the roadmap, support remediation and retest the controls that matter before the risk is closed.

What you receive

A decision document, not a fear document.

Your report separates confirmed findings, evidence gaps and hypotheses. Leadership sees the business decision; technical teams see exactly what needs to change.

  • Executive risk brief
    What could happen, why it matters and what requires a decision now.
  • Evidence-backed findings register
    Clear severity, affected systems, observed evidence and practical impact.
  • Identity and blast-radius map
    Who can reach critical data, payments, configuration and recovery controls.
  • Prioritised 30- and 90-day roadmap
    Immediate containment, structural improvements, owners and verification steps.
  • Remediation readout
    A jargon-free leadership session plus a technical handover for the people doing the work.
  • Retest plan
    The evidence required before a finding is genuinely closed.
Safe by design

Your audit must not become your incident.

  • Written scope and explicit authorisation
  • Named systems, tenants and test accounts
  • Dedicated test data and payment sandboxes
  • Emergency contacts and stop conditions
  • No brute force or disruption by default
  • No claim of exploitation without evidence
  • No sensitive evidence in public reports
  • Clear separation of audit and certification
Continuous defence

Security is a practice, not a launch task.

Your systems, suppliers and attackers keep changing. The strongest audit is a baseline for better decisions—not a certificate that goes in a drawer.

Audit before change. Retest after change. Review as capability advances.

Use a focused assessment before a major migration, AI deployment, new payment journey or customer-data launch. Then build targeted security reviews into releases and repeat deeper reviews as your attack surface changes.

Dragon AI principle

AI can surface more hypotheses, faster. Human judgement still decides what is real, what matters to the business and what evidence is strong enough to act on.

Where a regulated or CREST-accredited penetration test is required, we will define the need honestly and recommend or coordinate the appropriate specialist rather than misrepresent an audit as certification.

Frequently asked

Clear answers before we begin.

Every engagement starts by agreeing the systems, access, evidence and testing boundary. If a request is unsafe or outside that boundary, we stop.

Is this the same as a penetration test?

No. A cyber security audit is broader: it can examine identity, cloud configuration, source, suppliers, payments, backups and business continuity as well as application weaknesses. Controlled penetration testing can be included only under explicit written rules of engagement. Where accreditation is required, we will say so.

Will you try to hack our live systems?

Not without specific written authorisation. We begin with non-invasive evidence gathering. Any active validation is agreed in advance, limited to named systems and test data, and governed by stop conditions designed to protect normal operations.

What access will you need?

That depends on scope. The strongest review normally combines public exposure, a small set of representative user roles, selected cloud/configuration evidence and source-code access where available. We request the least access needed and never place secrets in the final report.

Can you help us fix the findings?

Yes. The report includes a prioritised roadmap, and Dragon AI can support configuration, development and process improvements. We keep “identified”, “fixed”, “deployed” and “retested” as separate states so progress is never overstated.

Who is this service for?

UK organisations that depend on websites, SaaS platforms, cloud systems, customer data, online payments or AI-enabled workflows—especially before a launch, migration, acquisition, insurer review or major supplier decision.
