Success Stories
From IT Operations to Offensive Security:
A 15-Year Partnership
A rapidly scaling software company that evolved from needing IT infrastructure management to achieving ISO 27001 certification and ultimately trusting D3 Cyber with deep-dive pentesting - for themselves and their own clients.
"As a rapidly scaling software company, we needed someone to treat our servers and environments as if they were their own critical assets. Their expertise in IT Architecture & Infrastructure Management led to an increase in operational stability, improved our uptime and security, which let our developers focus on coding."
"We were concerned it would be a bureaucratic nightmare, a 'paper-tiger' policy that would slow down our development. D3 Cyber embedded themselves in our operations, translating the requirements of ISO 27001 into practical, scalable processes that made sense for our engineering culture. Crucially, they designed this ISMS not just to pass an audit today, but to serve as the scalable backbone for everything that comes next."
Key Outcomes
- ▹ IT Architecture & Infrastructure Management
- ▹ ISMS Scoping & Gap Assessment
- ▹ Policy & SOP Implementation
- ▹ Successful ISO 27001 Certification Audit
- ▹ Deep-Dive Penetration Testing
- ▹ Third-Party Security Validation for Clients
"The team dug into complex business logic and edge cases, mimicking the mindset of a sophisticated attacker. They didn't just throw issues over the wall - they explained the 'why' and the 'how', aiding our team in effectively remediating the issues. Because of the work we did yesterday, we are even more confident about tomorrow."
"The ultimate vote of confidence is trusting a partner with your own customers. We now bring D3 Cyber in to perform pentesting for our own clients who require independent security validation. They help us ensure that the ecosystems we build are secure end-to-end."
PCI-DSS Implementation:
From ISO 27001 to Payment Compliance
HeyCentric provides easy-to-use income management solutions for UK public and private sector clients. Already ISO 27001 certified, they partnered with D3 Cyber to achieve the stringent PCI DSS compliance required for their service provider status - specifically, the demanding SAQ-D requirements.
"Understanding the importance of integrating and ensuring information security in our operations and products, we sought to elevate our standards. Already ISO 27001 certified, we aimed to test our compliance against PCI DSS."
"We partnered with D3 Cyber to gain expert support. We navigated each challenge as it arose, starting with accurately setting the scope. Despite leveraging mature solutions and partnerships with trusted global providers, our business model classifies us as a service provider under PCI DSS. D3 Cyber conducted an in-depth analysis, guiding us in delineating responsibilities between us and our partners."
Key Outcomes
- ▹ SAQ-D Attestation of Compliance
- ▹ PCI DSS 4.0.1 Implementation & Audit Advisory
- ▹ Strategic Scoping & Responsibility Matrix

"With D3 Cyber's support, we successfully completed the SAQ-D and obtained our Attestation of Compliance. Their assistance extended beyond developing templates and writing documents - they helped us better integrate Security GRC into our operations, setting a baseline for producing compliance artifacts without deviating from our core mission: providing mature and secure solutions for our clients."
