HEARTSec provides penetration testing that simulates real-world attacks on your external assets—including web applications, systems, and services—to uncover vulnerabilities before threat actors can exploit them.

HEART Sec delivers tailored social engineering assessments for every level of your organization—from executives to individual contributors. We simulate real-world manipulation tactics to test awareness, resilience, and response.
Our goal: build a workforce that recognizes and resists social engineering, reducing the risk of human error becoming a gateway for attackers.
