Punk Security

Punk Security is a UK-based cybersecurity company founded in 2021 that specializes in DevSecOps, integrating security practices into automated software development pipelines. The company offers services that help organizations embed security gates within their CI/CD pipelines to identify and reduce risk throughout the development lifecycle. The company's offerings include traditional information security services such as security assurance, architecture reviews, and virtual CISO (vCISO) services. Punk Security also conducts infrastructure and web application penetration testing across both cloud and on-premise environments, and holds CREST accreditation for its penetration testing services. In addition to consulting, Punk Security provides a fully-managed DevSecOps service, launched in late 2024, which combines platform-based monitoring and analysis of code changes with expert oversight, targeted at businesses with as few as 5-6 developers. The company also offers gamified DevSecOps training programs aimed at improving developer security awareness, and has delivered this training internationally. Punk Security maintains open-source security tools, including dnsReaper (a subdomain takeover detection tool), pwnSpoof, and SMBeagle. The company works across major cloud platforms and various automation orchestration tools rather than being tied to a single vendor. Punk Security operates a partner program that allows partners to offer CREST-accredited penetration testing services to their own customers, including features such as free retesting and pre-sales support. The company is headquartered in Northallerton, UK, and operates as a remote-first organization with staff across the UK.
