AI Development
AI has become so fundamental to effective cybersecurity that any credible security player has to embrace it. We did - to the point of building our own platforms. Now we help our customers develop, govern and fully own the applications they build with AI.
Defence has to move at the speed of the attack
AI is now finding vulnerabilities faster than any team can triage them by hand - and attackers are using the same tools for their own ends. Security that still runs at human pace simply cannot keep up. That is why we build with AI ourselves.
The Exponential Vulnerability Curve
AI-assisted research is surfacing vulnerabilities at a rate no manual patching process was ever designed to absorb. The bottleneck is no longer discovery - it is triage, prioritisation and safe deployment.
Attackers Already Operate at AI Speed
Exploit development, reconnaissance and social engineering are all being accelerated by the same technology. Defenders who refuse to use these tools are choosing to fight at a permanent disadvantage.
We Build What We Sell
Our platforms are not white-labelled. We designed, wrote and operate them - which means our advice on building with AI comes from running it in production, not from a slide deck.
You Own the Code
Every engagement ends with the customer holding the repository, the documentation and the deployment pipeline. No lock-in, no black box, no dependency on us to keep the lights on.
Governance That Enables
AI governance should not be a brake. Done properly - clear policies, defined approval gates, documented decisions - it is what makes fast AI-assisted development safe enough to keep doing.
From SaaS Tenant to Software Owner
We in-sourced our own CRM, ticketing and internal IT platforms rather than renting them. The same shift is now realistic for our customers, and we know exactly what it takes.
The platforms we developed ourselves
Four products, built and operated by Pro CISO® - the proof that a security company can develop its own software responsibly, at pace, and keep it maintainable.
CA/CR® CISO Console
Our flagship multi-entity, multi-framework security posture platform. Assessment campaigns, risk and incident registers, a 40+ template policy library, and audit-ready reporting - covering ISO 27001, NIST CSF, NIS2, DORA, GDPR and the EU AI Act.
CA/CR® ReconX
External Attack Surface Management. Continuous discovery of hosts, ports, technologies and cloud infrastructure, with CVE tracking prioritised by CVSS and EPSS, reputation monitoring and identity exposure - so you know your attack surface before attackers do.
CA/CR® ProDesk
Our in-sourced ticketing and alert management platform. Ingests alerts from mailboxes, SIEM, EDR and PSA connectors, then triages, correlates and assigns them as tickets with full SLA tracking and escalation.
Vulnerability Patching Platform
Built in collaboration with several of our customers to solve the patching bottleneck directly. Identify, triage and prioritise vulnerabilities not only on severity and active exploitation, but on the system's actual contextual exposure - then weigh the risk of applying the patch against the benefit, decide between urgent action and a bundled maintenance window, and keep a fully controlled roll-back path throughout.
Building internal applications that survive their authors
Code written with AI is only an asset if it stays maintainable, documented and under your control. These are the disciplines we put in place from day one - the same ones we use on our own products.
Documentation as the Source of Truth
Structured Markdown documentation lives alongside the code and drives it. Requirements, architecture decisions and operating instructions are written down first - so any developer, or any AI assistant, can pick the project up months later without archaeology.
Secure Repository Setup
GitHub organisations configured properly from the start: branch protection, signed commits, deploy keys, least-privilege access, dependency and secret scanning, and a reviewable history of every change - whoever or whatever wrote it.
Development / Production Segregation
Clean separation between environments, with controlled, repeatable deployment paths and no manual edits on production. Changes reach live systems one way only, and that way is documented and reversible.
Human Approval in the SDLC
Code may be written by AI, but it is reviewed, validated and approved by named people against your Secure SDLC. Accountability never transfers to the tool - the approval gate is where ownership is asserted.
Maintainability Over Time
Coding standards, test coverage, dependency hygiene and change logging - the unglamorous practices that decide whether an internal application is still serviceable in three years or has quietly become a liability.
Full Handover and Ownership
You end up holding the repository, the documentation, the pipelines and the knowledge to run them. Moving from a SaaS subscription to an application you own outright is the point of the exercise.
From cautious adoption to confident ownership
AI Readiness Baseline
We map where AI is already in use across your organisation - sanctioned or not - assess the risk it carries today, and establish what good looks like for your sector and regulatory exposure.
Policies That Hold Up
AI governance policy, acceptable-use rules, and a Secure Development with AI policy covering code provenance, review obligations, data handling and third-party model use - written to be followed, not filed.
Training, Workshops & Enablement
Hands-on sessions that show your teams the real benefits of AI tooling and, just as importantly, which tools are genuinely effective for which business use case - and which are not worth the licence.
Build, Validate, Hand Over
We build alongside your team, embedding the documentation, repository and SDLC practices as we go - then hand over an application your people own, understand and can extend without us.
Anchored in recognised best practice
Developing with AI responsibly is no longer uncharted territory. We work to the frameworks that regulators, auditors and your customers already recognise.
EU AI Act governance, fully supported by CA/CR®
Companies embracing development with AI tools fall squarely within the scope of the EU AI Act. The CA/CR® CISO Console ships a complete AI Act framework - 8 domains and 28 plain-language controls - so your governance obligations are assessed, evidenced and tracked in the same place as the rest of your security posture. Policy and proof, closed into one loop. See our EU Regulations Assessments for a fixed-price readiness assessment.
