Meet Our Founder

I'm Brad Fattori, and I've worked in IT for over 10 years. With a CISSP certification and numerous other industry certifications under my belt, I've dedicated my career to enhancing cybersecurity. Scoutmon is my latest project aimed at helping businesses everywhere increase their security.

Our Mission

Scoutmon Technologies was born out of a need to provide smaller businesses with affordable security assessments. Cybersecurity is crucial, but many smaller businesses find the necessary technical skills and tools to be cost-prohibitive. Our goal is to bridge this gap by offering lower-cost security assessments to help identify security risks from an external perspective.

What We Do

We perform external security assessments using free or lower-cost tools compared to other established penetration testing companies. Due to the reduced cost, this work is often conducted outside of regular business hours and on weekends, alongside our primary jobs. This means the security assessment is performed with limited time and tools, which may offer restricted functionality.

Our Approch

While our methodology is similar to a professional penetration test, these constraints mean there is a risk of not discovering all vulnerabilities. We focus on identifying low-hanging fruit, performing automated tests, and highlighting areas that clients can mitigate to improve their security. This service should not replace professional penetration testing, especially when compliance with standards like ISO 27001 or PCI DSS is required.

Our Commitment

It's important to understand that Scoutmon isn't a replacement for a professional penetration test if you can afford one. Our goal is to help uplift your security, but there are limitations. We are not liable for any security risks missed due to the tools, time constraints, and scope of our assessments. While established companies should always conduct external penetration testing if the budget allows, the high costs—ranging from thousands to tens of thousands—aren't always feasible for smaller businesses. At Scoutmon Technologies, we believe in empowering businesses with the knowledge and tools they need to enhance their security. Thank you for trusting us with your security needs.
