ceronSecurity testing for the way your business works.
Ceron is a security company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. We bring AI-powered investigation and evidence-based assessment to the applications, infrastructure, and access your business depends on.
Explore our technologyThe security of one system depends on the systems around it.
A customer portal can depend on a shared identity provider, a billing API, and a cloud storage policy. Understanding its security means looking at how those connections affect who can access data and what they can do with it.
We scope engagements around that context, from a focused application review to deeper testing across multiple environments. The work is shaped by your systems, the roles that use them, and the consequences a weakness could have for your business.
Planning a larger engagementThe Ceron Agent Harness
Our framework brings AI models into security assessments with a defined context for the systems they investigate, the actions they can take, and the data they can use. Explore how those parts fit together.
The investigation takes its context from your business.
The applications, APIs, cloud accounts, and access roles you authorize form the assessment’s boundaries. Understanding which customer data, privileged functions, and business workflows they support helps us evaluate the consequences of a weakness.
For a larger engagement, that scope can extend across multiple environments and connected asset groups.
Multiple model families support the assessment.
We run open and closed source models from providers including Anthropic, OpenAI, Moonshot AI, Z.ai, and DeepSeek through the Ceron Agent Harness. They help investigate configuration, exposed services, and access controls within the assessment’s defined context.
The providers involved and the data they may use are agreed before you grant access.
The engagement defines what the models can do.
The Harness gives models defined limits on the actions they can take and the data they can use. Testing permissions reflect the agreed scope, including the assets, accounts, and methods you have authorized for the assessment.
Authenticated, cloud, and internal testing require agreed access; disruptive testing requires explicit authorization.
Potential weaknesses become findings through verification.
Model output informs the investigation, while supporting evidence determines what belongs in your report. We check potential issues, identify the affected assets, and explain severity in the context of your environment so your team can prioritize the work.
Each verified finding includes remediation guidance, and the report documents the limits of the assessment.
You should know what to expect before you give us access.
Whether you are reviewing one product or coordinating a broader assessment, we start by understanding your environment and the decisions the work needs to support.
You do not need a finished testing plan to start a conversation. Bring your priorities and constraints, and we can work through the scope together.
Discuss your environmentHow do you scope a larger environment?
We discuss your applications, infrastructure, access roles, and business priorities, then define which systems and connections the engagement should cover. Extended engagements can include multiple environments, internal networks, additional access roles, and penetration testing. The written scope establishes the asset inventory, testing depth, delivery window, and fixed fee before work begins.
How will testing fit around our operations?
Testing methods, timing, permissions, and stop conditions are agreed before the assessment begins. This gives your team a chance to identify sensitive systems and operational constraints. Disruptive testing requires explicit authorization, and any restrictions that limit what we can assess are documented in the report.
What happens to our data and credentials?
Before access is granted, the engagement should specify the data that may be used, the AI providers involved, confidentiality terms, retention and deletion, and how findings will be delivered. Cloud and authenticated testing use separately agreed permissions. We establish the approved channel for sensitive information before you share production credentials or customer data.
What can leadership and engineering expect to receive?
Your deliverables include an executive summary and a technical report covering the agreed assessment. Verified findings identify affected assets, supporting evidence, severity, business impact, and recommended remediation. Coverage and limitations are documented so stakeholders can distinguish what was assessed from what still needs attention.
How are the fee and any follow-up work handled?
Core audits start at $1,500, while larger or more complex engagements receive a custom fixed quote. The agreed audit fee applies only if we identify a verified, actionable vulnerability within scope, and it does not increase with the number of findings. If there are no qualifying findings, you still receive a scope and outcome summary. Remediation implementation and follow-up testing are separate unless included in your agreement.

Mario founded Ceron to make security assessments useful to the teams acting on them. A finding should explain what is vulnerable, why it matters, and how to address it.
That means connecting a technical weakness to the customer data, privileged access, or business function it could put at risk.
