Services Offered

Tool-Agnostic Integration & Enablement

NopalCyber is tool-agnostic, integrating seamlessly with clients’ existing security stacks—whether best-of-breed point solutions or consolidated platforms. Our approach emphasizes enablement over rip-and-replace, ensuring clients get the most out of current investments. From EDRs and SIEMs to cloud security tools and compliance suites, NopalCyber builds workflows that interoperate across environments, reducing complexity, avoiding vendor lock-in and maximizing return on investment.

Holistic Visibility (Nopal360 & CIQ Score)

NopalCyber’s Nopal360 platform provides unified visibility across the entire security ecosystem, encompassing on-premises and cloud infrastructure, endpoints, applications, SaaS, IoT and even shadow IT. It integrates asset discovery, threat intelligence, control validation and exposure scoring into one operating view. Central to this is the proprietary Cybersecurity Integrity Quotient (CIQ Score)—a dynamic metric that quantifies cyber maturity and exposure risk across business units, mapped to regulatory, operational and threat-based priorities. The CIQ Score enables leadership to make data-driven decisions and measure security performance over time, closing the visibility-action gap.

24/7 SOC as a Service

NopalCyber delivers around-the-clock SOC monitoring and incident response including for cloud-first and AI-enabled environments. Analysts leverage AI-enhanced triage and detection models to identify critical threats more quickly while filtering out noise. With custom playbooks, threat intelligence and human-in-the-loop decisions, the SOC team handles real-time response and coordination, integrating with client environments through secure APIs, ticketing platforms and the Nopal360 platform.

MXDR + SIEM

NopalCyber’s MXDR platform fuses telemetry from endpoints, networks, cloud, identity systems and AI tools into a unified detection and response layer. The service augments human analysts with machine learning models that detect behavioral anomalies, AI model abuse and advanced persistent threats. Native SIEM integrations support long-term log retention, compliance reporting and forensic investigations, with dashboards tailored to meet the needs of CISOs, DevSecOps and audit teams.

Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VAPT)

From core infrastructure to AI-integrated apps, NopalCyber’s VAPT services identify critical risks before adversaries do. Penetration tests assess both traditional systems and AI/ML models for weaknesses such as data poisoning, model inversion and insecure AI deployment pipelines. Clients receive prioritized findings, along with technical and executive summaries, mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP Top 10 and AI-specific threat frameworks, such as BSI PAS 333.

Application Security (Mobile and Web App)

NopalCyber secures mobile, web and API-driven applications, including those powered by AI agents and LLM-based features. Testing includes AI logic validation, prompt injection simulation and assessments of exposed model endpoints. Services span static and dynamic testing, dependency scanning and secure design reviews. Integration with CI/CD pipelines enables continuous validation as applications evolve.

Compliance Readiness (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, AI Governance, etc.)

NopalCyber prepares clients for audits across traditional and AI-specific frameworks. In addition to traditional framework readiness such as SOC 2 and ISO 27001, the firm provides advisory services on AI risk management aligned with NIST AI RMF, ISO/IEC 42001 and the EU AI Act. Services include AI policy development, risk assessments, impact documentation and governance model design. Clients benefit from hands-on support through audits with a focus on aligning actionable security and compliance.

Security Consulting

NopalCyber’s consulting practice helps organizations build resilient, AI-ready security programs. Advisory services include threat modeling for LLM-enabled applications, GenAI risk assessments, reviews of third-party AI vendors and data governance strategies. The team also provides strategic support on cloud security, identity and access management and regulatory alignment. Many clients engage NopalCyber’s vCISO service to establish AI security governance at the executive level and guide long-term cybersecurity maturity.
