Automation for breadth.
Humans for depth.
OnScanner runs live, never-cached scans across a stack of specialist engines: OWASP Top 10, CVE and exploitability intelligence, and 40+ privacy checks. Our pentest team chases the business-logic flaws scanners can't find and ships every critical finding with proof-of-exploit and dev-ready remediation.
What we do.
Three focused services for teams serious about security.
Manual Penetration Testing
Experienced penetration testers simulate real-world attacks to uncover business-logic flaws automated scans miss.
- Web, API, network & mobile
- Proof-of-exploit on criticals
- Dev-ready remediation, free retest
Compliance & Policy
SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, and HIPAA readiness: gap analysis, technical remediation, and audit liaison.
- SOC 2 / ISO 27001 / GDPR / HIPAA
- Auditor-expected pentest included
- PPA & CAP Analysis frameworks
OnScanner Automation
Our live web vulnerability, security and privacy scanner. Never-cached results, built for modern stacks.
- CVE & exploitability intelligence
- Privacy & tracker scoring
- DNS, TLS & WAF posture
- Monitoring, REST API & MCP
Automation is fast.
Human
intuition is deep.
We're a cybersecurity consultancy that fuses automated vulnerability, security and privacy scanning with expert manual penetration testing. While other firms treat security as a checkbox, we treat it as an arms race.
Beyond technical defenses, we guide teams to SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR readiness: gap analysis, remediation, and audit liaison, with the auditor-expected penetration test built in.

How Much Does a Penetration Test Cost in 2026?
What a penetration test costs in 2026: the factors that drive price, how engagements are sized, what a quote should include, and red flags of cheap tests.
Does SOC 2 Require a Penetration Test?
SOC 2 does not name a penetration test, but auditors and enterprise buyers expect one. How pentest evidence maps to controls, and when to run the test.
How to Choose a Penetration Testing Company (What Actually Matters)
How to choose a penetration testing company: manual depth, proof-of-exploit, report quality, retest policy, and red flags that predict a bad engagement.
Questions, answered.
How we work, what we test, and how we keep findings honest.
What does Byte Optimizer do?
Byte Optimizer is a cybersecurity consultancy that combines automated scanning with manual penetration testing and compliance consultancy. We find real vulnerabilities, prove them with evidence, and help teams meet frameworks like SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR. We are also the company behind OnScanner, our live security and privacy scanner.
How is manual penetration testing different from an automated scan?
Automated scanning gives you breadth: it checks every endpoint, header, and third-party tag quickly. Manual testing gives you depth: our engineers chain findings and uncover business logic flaws that scanners cannot see. Most engagements use both, automation for coverage and humans for the high impact issues.
What does OnScanner check, and what makes it different?
OnScanner runs live, never-cached scans across security and privacy. It checks for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities and misconfigurations, matches your detected technologies to CVEs with severity, EPSS, and KEV context, confirms exploitability with safe probes, flags unpatched and end-of-life software, and runs privacy scanning across 40+ categories, with monitoring, a REST API, and an MCP server for AI agents. Because scans run live rather than from a cache, results reflect your site as it is right now, including modern single page apps and APIs that legacy tools often miss.
Which compliance frameworks do you support?
We support SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR readiness, plus HIPAA gap analysis. Our work covers gap analysis, technical remediation, and privacy architecture reviews, using our proprietary PPA (Privacy Policy Analysis) and CAP Analysis frameworks to turn a complex audit into a clear roadmap.
What types of systems can you test?
We test web applications, mobile apps, and APIs. Every engagement starts with scoping and threat modeling, so testing focuses on the assets and risks that matter most to your business.
How do you keep false positives low?
It depends on the service. With manual penetration testing, every critical finding is human verified with a proof of exploit before it reaches your team, so you get evidence rather than guesswork. Automated scanning with OnScanner is not human verified: it runs live, non-cached checks and scores severity to cut noise, and you can escalate anything that matters to our pentest team for hands-on confirmation.
What is included in your reports?
Each report has an executive summary for leadership, a technical body with reproduction steps and evidence, and line by line remediation guidance your developers can act on. The structure stays consistent, so a report reads the same on day one and day ninety.
How quickly can you start an engagement?
Most teams move from a scoping call to an active engagement within about 48 hours. The first step is a short scoping conversation to define goals, scope, and timing.
Do you offer a retest after we fix the issues?
Yes. We provide a retest and sign off so you can confirm that issues are resolved and demonstrate closure to customers, partners, or auditors.
Do you sign NDAs, and where are you based?
Mutual NDAs are standard and available on request, and we treat every engagement with strict discretion. Byte Optimizer LLC is based in Wyoming, United States, and works with clients globally, from agile startups to large enterprises. You can reach us at info@byteoptimizer.com.
