Your Audit Passed. You're Still Doomed.

📌 TL;DR (For the Skimmers)
- Audits confirm checklists — not security.
- Real attackers don’t care what boxes you checked.
- You passed. You're still vulnerable. That’s where we come in.
☠️ The Audit Illusion
“We’re good. We passed the security audit.”
Here’s what that misses:
- Audits check boxes. Attackers break assumptions.
We've seen it all — SOC 2-certified companies leaking AWS keys, security-conscious startups with OTPs floating in Slack.
- Hardcoded secrets in production code
- Public S3 buckets with customer data
- Multi-factor that’s bypassed through social tricks
Auditors validate. We violate.
💣 Security Is an Adversarial Discipline
Good security isn’t passive. It’s not:
- Running a vulnerability scanner
- Using a password manager
- Checking “Yes” on a compliance portal
Real security means asking:
“If someone wanted to break us, how would they do it?”
Audits won’t ask that. We will.
🧠 How We Know You’re Still at Risk
We don’t test for signatures. We test behavior, assumptions, people.
- Admin credentials committed to frontend builds
- Customer portals with no rate-limiting
- Approval flows hijacked via Slack
- Smart contracts with ghost inputs
Passing SOC 2 just means you passed a test we didn’t write.
Attackers definitely didn’t either.
👊 What We Do at Libra
We’re not a checkbox consultancy. We’re the offensive lens your security missed.
- Red team simulations built from real adversary playbooks
- Phishing, pivoting, and lateral movement campaigns
- Smart contract adversarial modeling
- Human-in-the-loop assessments no scanner could catch
Your audit passed. Good. Now let’s break what’s left.
Compliance doesn’t mean control. Offense does.
