 Cybersecurity Services

AI Security Testing

Prompt injection, model extraction, adversarial inputs, training data poisoning, AI API exposure. The vulnerabilities standard penetration testing wasn’t built to find.

Penetration Testing

Manual testing across web applications, APIs, networks and infrastructure. We find the logic flaws and edge cases that automated tools miss. Our approach is aligned to OWASP and the Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG)

Vulnerability Assessment

Systematic identification of security weaknesses across your environment. Findings prioritised by risk, not severity score alone.

SOC Analysis

Monitor, investigate and respond to security events with structured SOC analysis. We help teams detect suspicious activity, reduce alert noise and improve incident response readiness.

Digital Forensics

Investigate security incidents, trace root causes and preserve evidence after a breach or suspected compromise. Our specialists support clear analysis, documentation and recovery planning.

Security Code Review

Static and dynamic analysis to catch vulnerabilities before they reach production. Integrated into your pipeline, not bolted on after.

Compliance & Security Governance

ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR, NIS2 and DORA. Gap analysis, documentation, remediation planning and audit preparation.

AI Services

auticon’s full AI service offering goes beyond security, data annotation, AI quality assurance, governance and AI-assisted development.

The auticon advantage

Our cybersecurity teams include neurodivergent professionals, all of whom are autistic, bringing strengths that are critical in security work: identifying anomalies, recognising patterns in complex systems, maintaining focus over time, and applying structured processes with consistency and precision.

Proven enterprise track record

300+ global clients across diverse technology domains, including significant experience in critical infrastructure. The stability and credibility to handle complex international projects.

Local delivery, global reach

Our workforce consists of 350+ autistic consultants, operating across 13 countries worldwide, we have the infrastructure to scale projects across borders, while keeping data within required jurisdictions.

A different way of solving technical challenges

Our autistic technologists bring strengths in pattern recognition, focus and consistency, helping detect what others overlook in complex systems and data.

Better handling of edge cases and complexity

We identify inconsistencies, edge cases and hidden issues early, improving system behaviour in production and reducing costly rework.

Meaningful social impact

Every engagement creates skilled employment for autistic professionals. Social responsibility and technical performance are mutually reinforcing, supporting CSRD and social return requirements without compromising on quality.

AI Security Testing

AI is moving fast. Security is catching up slowly. Most organisations have integrated AI into their systems before fully understanding where those systems are vulnerable, and standard security tools weren’t built to find these risks.

What we test for:

  • Prompt injection
  • Model extraction
  • Training data poisoning
  • Adversarial inputs
  • AI API exposure

Certified expertise, adapted to local markets

Cybersecurity requirements differ by country, sector and engagement scope. Across our local markets, auticon teams may hold relevant certifications and training in areas such as information security management, automotive security, NIS2 readiness and defensive cyber operations.

Certification coverage varies by country and delivery entity. During local scoping, we confirm which certifications, frameworks and assurance requirements apply to your project.

What our clients say

  • Bernd Bauer
    Cybersecurity Team

    “Thanks to his autistic strengths, [the auticon consultant] can familiarise himself with topics very quickly and process the relevant information in a very short time, something that would take a neurotypical person considerably longer. That is why his current role, conducting and evaluating interviews, is, in my view, perfect for him. Fundamentally, I believe that autistic people can make a valuable contribution in IT and cybersecurity, precisely because they are good at recognising complex interrelationships.”

    – Siemens

  • Michael Rönn
    Team Leader

    “The auticon consultant brought a level of quality that is by no means a given. We quickly realised that we work best together when we adapt flexibly to one another.”  

     – Beiersdorf Shared Services

  • Jaroslav Bláha
    CTO

    Expanding our pool of diverse contributors by partnering with auticon’s consultants was a very smooth process. This is a sign of how well auticon’s professionalism fits with trivago’s open culture.” 

    trivago

  • Nick Frost
    Head of Audit Technology and Innovation

    “By allowing auticon’s consultants to focus on their strengths they have produced great results and become key members of our team.” 

    KPMG

  • Sven Oelschläger
    Head of Application Governance

    “The auticon consultant not only achieved outstanding results for his project – with his clever ideas and results-oriented thinking, he also had a positive influence on the entire team. He was a real asset to us, exceeding our expectations. Thanks to his smooth and effortless integration into the existing project team and his meticulous attention to detail, we were able to benefit from his leadership right from the start.”  

    Postbank

  • Dr Christian Nagel
    Head of Actuarial Portfolio Management

    “We wanted to find solutions to ensure we could maintain our high quality standards in the long term. At first, we hadn’t even considered employing autistic people; today, we are delighted with our collaboration with auticon and thrilled with the results. We plan to engage further consultants from auticon.”

What our cybersecurity delivers

Working with our cybersecurity teams leads to measurable improvements in how risks are identified, prioritised and managed across your environment.

Vulnerabilities found before attackers do

Systematic penetration testing and vulnerability assessments that go beyond automated scanning, looking for marginal cases, logic flaws and overlooked entry points that tools miss.

AI-specific risks identified and assessed

As organisations integrate AI into their systems, new attack surfaces emerge that traditional security tools weren’t designed to find. We test for prompt injection, model extraction, training data poisoning, adversarial inputs and AI API exposure.

Security that holds up under scrutiny

Whether it’s an ISO 27001 audit, a SOC 2 review, GDPR compliance, NIS2 or DORA requirements, we help you build a security posture that is documented, evidenced and defensible.

Findings you can act on

Security results presented clearly and prioritised by risk. You know what needs fixing first, what can wait, and what the business impact is if it isn’t addressed.

A codebase that doesn't introduce risk

Security code review, static and dynamic analysis, identifies vulnerabilities introduced during development before they reach production. Integrated into your development pipeline, not bolted on after.

The Edge Effect in Cybersecurity

High-quality cybersecurity is not only about preventing attacks, it’s about noticing what others overlook. Subtle vulnerabilities, unusual patterns and hidden weaknesses can emerge over time and impact the security of your systems.

Different cognitive perspectives can improve consistency, identify risks earlier and strengthen how security is designed, implemented and maintained.

We call this Edge Thinking.

The advantage created when different ways of thinking come together to solve complex problems.

In cybersecurity, that leads to earlier threat detection, reduced exposure to risk and stronger protection of systems, data and operations over time.

What cybersecurity services does auticon offer?

We cover penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, AI security testing, security code review, compliance and security governance, and red team exercises. For organisations integrating AI into their systems, we also offer specialist assessments covering prompt injection, model extraction, training data poisoning and adversarial inputs.

What is AI security testing and why does it matter?

AI security testing assesses vulnerabilities specific to machine learning systems, risks that standard penetration testing wasn’t designed to find. As organisations deploy LLMs, computer vision systems and AI-powered applications, new attack surfaces emerge. Prompt injection, model extraction and AI API exposure are among the most common and least understood. We test for these specifically, using teams who understand how AI systems are built from the inside.

What does a penetration test include?

Scope varies by engagement but typically covers reconnaissance, vulnerability identification, exploitation attempts and a full findings report with prioritised remediation recommendations. We agree exactly what’s in scope — applications, APIs, networks, infrastructure or cloud environments, before testing begins. Nothing happens without your explicit sign-off.

How is auticon's penetration testing different from running an automated scan?

Automated scanning tools find known vulnerabilities against known signatures. They miss logic flaws, edge cases and the kind of chained vulnerabilities that require human reasoning to find. Our teams go beyond the scan, looking for what the tool didn’t think to check.

Which compliance frameworks do you support?

Our approach to compliance is shaped by the security and data-protection standards in each country we operate in. auticon holds the relevant certifications for our delivery operations in those markets, and our project teams are experienced working within the regulatory frameworks that apply to our clients, including information security, data protection and sector-specific regulation.

Because certifications and regulatory scope vary by country, sector and engagement, we’d recommend a follow-up conversation to confirm which apply to your project. We can also discuss the specific regulatory context your security posture needs to meet.

What is DORA and does auticon help with compliance?

DORA — the Digital Operational Resilience Act — is an EU regulation that came into force in January 2025, requiring financial services organisations to demonstrate robust ICT security and operational resilience. We support DORA compliance including gap assessments, ICT risk management documentation and third-party risk evaluation.
