You hired someone to build your website, your customer portal, your ordering system. They're great at what they do — but security is a different skillset. We test it from the outside, the same way a real attacker would, and show you what we find. For free.
The Problem
The Solution
The Game Has Changed
For years, the unspoken comfort was: "We're not big enough to be a target." And honestly? That used to be mostly true. Someone had to decide to come after you. You had to be worth the effort, or you had to upset the wrong person.
That era is over.
AI is changing the economics of hacking. Right now, teams overseas are building AI tools that can automatically scan thousands of websites per hour, find vulnerabilities, and exploit them — without a human ever being involved. They don't care who you are or what you sell. They're harvesting customer databases, credit card numbers, and login credentials at scale, then selling them in bulk on the dark web.
This isn't fear-mongering. It's the reality of where things are headed — and it's accelerating fast. The tools that used to require a skilled hacker and hours of manual work can now be pointed at your site by someone with no technical skills at all. Just a target list and an AI agent.
The businesses that take this seriously now are the ones that won't be scrambling later when a customer calls asking why their data is for sale online.
What we see
We don't need a password. We don't need access to your server. We look at your site from the outside — the exact same way a bad actor would — and this is the kind of thing we find.
What's Really At Stake
Here's what actually happens when someone finds a hole in your system before you do.
Ransomware
One morning you can't access your system. Customer records, order history, invoices — all locked. A message demands $50,000 in cryptocurrency. Pay up or lose it all. Even if you pay, there's no guarantee you get it back.
Customer Impersonation
Attackers use your stolen customer list to send emails that look exactly like yours — same logo, same tone. Your customers enter their credit card on a fake page. They blame you. Because it is your fault.
Data for Sale
Names, emails, passwords, order histories, addresses — packaged up and sold in bulk. Your customers start getting spam, phishing attempts, and fraud. Then someone traces it back to your system.
Account Takeover
A flaw in your login or password reset lets an attacker access any account they want. They change shipping addresses, drain store credit, or download invoices with personal details. Your support team finds out from angry customers.
Not at 3am when a customer calls asking why their data is for sale. Not when your system is locked and someone's demanding ransom. Not when a reporter emails asking for comment. Find it now, fix it now, on your schedule — before it becomes front-page news.
What We Do
You don't need to understand the technical details — that's our job. We tell you what's at risk in plain English, then we make it right.
We look at your website and customer systems the same way an attacker would — from the internet, with no passwords and no special access. If we can get to your data, so can they.
We look at the actual code your developer wrote and find the security gaps — things like customer records being accessible to the wrong people, or data being stored without encryption.
Sometimes a quick fix isn't enough. If your system was built on shaky foundations, we can rebuild the parts that matter — or migrate you to something more secure without disrupting your business.
Can someone guess their way into another customer's account? Can a password reset be exploited? We lock down the front door so only the right people get in.
Your system talks to itself behind the scenes — passing around customer data, order details, payment info. We make sure none of those conversations are happening where someone uninvited can listen.
Your business changes, your website changes, and new threats show up constantly. We stay in your corner — checking in regularly and making sure nothing new has slipped through.
How It Works
Who We Are
A.K.S Security was founded in 2009 by Eric Turner — a developer with 25 years of experience building web applications, based in the DFW Metroplex. What started as one person helping businesses lock down their systems has grown into a tight-knit team of trusted security consultants who work together on every engagement.
We're not a big consultancy and we don't outsource. Every assessment, every code review, every remediation is done by our team directly. We use the same cutting-edge tools and techniques that real attackers use, and we stay current on every new vulnerability, exploit, and attack vector as they emerge — because the threat landscape changes weekly, and last year's playbook doesn't cut it.
When you reach out, you get a real conversation with the people doing the actual work. We're small enough to care, experienced enough to find what matters, and committed enough to see it through.
Your Privacy Is Non-Negotiable
We don't publish case studies. We don't name-drop. We don't put logos on our website. When you work with A.K.S Security, the engagement is confidential — who you are, what we found, and what we did about it. That's between us.
We've operated this way since 2009 because we believe your security posture is your business, not our marketing material.
Get Started
It starts with a conversation. We'll learn about your business, make sure we're a good fit, and get a proper authorization agreement in place. Then we go to work — and that first finding is on us.
No commitment. No spam. No scare tactics. Just a straight answer.
