Find the gaps before attackers do
Most breaches start with a misconfigured setting, an undefined role, or an untested plan, and with breaches now averaging $4.99 million, it’s an expensive gap. Pathfynder helps you close these gaps by strengthening your email environment, building and pressure-testing your incident response plan, and by pairing elite offensive talent with your team so your defenses get measurably stronger.
Veteran-Led
CREST Certified
Offensive security testing built for real-world threats
Every Pathfynder service is built for one outcome: a team that’s proven ready, not just a plan on a shelf. You don’t walk away with just recommendations, you walk away with an actionable plan your leadership, security team, and departments across the organization can stand behind.
Contact usEmail Security Optimization
We assess and harden your email and file-sharing environment against the exact misconfigurations behind business email compromise, invoice fraud, and credential-compromise exposure, the openings attackers look for first. Every finding comes with a report your team can act on immediately, and a defined path to low risk.
Incident Response Plan Build
Every company needs a plan for the first 24 hours after a breach. The Incident Response Plan Build is a leadership-approved document that guides your organization before, during, and after a confirmed or suspected security incident, so every team knows exactly what to do and when instead of deciding it on the fly.
Incident Response Tabletop Exercise
The first hours after a breach decide whether it’s contained quickly or costs millions, and that’s not something your team wants to improvise during a real breach. This exercise builds the muscle memory to act fast when it counts. We’ll run that pressure test live: an unscripted simulation where security, IT, comms, and leadership have to respond together in real time. You’ll walk away with actionable fixes to improve security.
Internal Purple Team
A Purple Team engagement with Pathfynder is live, collaborative training: our hackers work alongside your team in real time, turning every move into a lesson they can watch, react to, and apply. We evolve as fast as threats do, with new techniques, rotating people, and new approaches to every engagement so your organization is always prepared.
