Your security team. For small business.
Most small businesses get serious about security because of a specific trigger: an enterprise customer asks about it, a cyber insurance renewal lands, or a near-miss makes the owner realize how exposed they are. The Security Pulse Check is one four-week engagement that addresses all three. Fixed price, one-page executive summary you can hand to a customer, an auditor, or an underwriter.
Three reasons small businesses finally call us
Enterprise customer asked about your security
A prospect or existing customer sent over a security questionnaire, asked about SOC 2, or wants to see evidence of monitoring. Deal is gated on the answer.
Cyber insurance renewal is coming up
Your underwriter wants evidence of MFA, EDR, an IR plan, and basic monitoring. Premiums are climbing; coverage caps are dropping. You need answers and a paper trail.
A near-miss made it real
Phishing landed, an ex-employee account got hit, a vendor told you they were breached. You want grown-up security in place before next time isn't a near-miss.
Pick your starting point
Every step is buyable. Start where it makes sense; ramp only if it earns its keep. Pricing is fixed before any work begins. No scope creep, no surprises.
A 30-minute intro call
A quick conversation to understand where you are, what your security pressure looks like (customer questionnaire, insurance, recent scare), and whether there's an obvious next step. No pitch deck.

Inside the Security Pulse Check
Four-week engagement. Fixed scope, fixed price. One named Katalor Group lead, one report you can hand to anyone who asks.
External attack-surface review
We catalog everything an attacker can see from the internet: marketing site, customer portal, exposed admin panels, forgotten subdomains. Manual verification, not just an automated scan.
Web application penetration test
Authenticated and unauthenticated testing of your primary web app against the OWASP Top 10. Business-logic abuse where applicable. Findings ranked by exploitability, not just CVSS scores.
Email and identity hygiene check
MFA coverage across your team, SPF/DKIM/DMARC posture on your domain, password-manager and SSO state. The boring stuff that closes the most common breach paths.
Thirty days of monitored remediation
As your team (or contractor) fixes the findings, we monitor that the fixes hold and don't introduce new exposures. You get unblocking help, not a report-and-walk-away.
Two deliverables
A technical pack for your engineering team or contractor (full findings, severity, fix steps). A one-page executive summary you can hand to a customer, an auditor, or an underwriter.
- SOC 2 vendor-review responses
- Cyber insurance renewal evidence
- Customer security questionnaires
- Post-incident hardening
Four weeks, then a month of monitored follow-through
No multi-month sales cycle, no open-ended retainer. The work happens, the report lands, the fixes ship. We stay watching.
Scope
30-minute call, asset inventory, kickoff. Fixed-scope SOW signed.
Test
External recon, web pen test, identity hygiene assessment. Daily progress notes.
Report
Technical pack + executive one-pager delivered. Remediation plan walked through.
Verify
Monitored remediation window. We watch the fixes hold and answer questions as they come up.
Ramp to ongoing security only if it's worth it
If the Pulse Check surfaces enough to warrant ongoing coverage, the same team rolls into a monthly Katalor Security program: 24×7 monitoring, retained incident response, quarterly retests, compliance evidence. No second sales cycle. No new vendor.
