Web development and cybersecurity, in one firm
We design and build the web product, harden it before it goes live, then keep it monitored, patched and current. Security is worked into the build rather than audited in afterwards, and a written launch gate defines what “secure” means before anything ships.
Build and care
Most firms hand you a launch. Palisadium hands you a launch and then keeps working. The build, the hardening and the ongoing care sit in the same relationship, with the same point of accountability.
Your site or web app
A considered design and maintainable engineering, built around your actual content and workflow. Not a template with your logo on it.
Care plans available from the day it goes live.
Monthly, on a schedule you can see
The work that keeps a product credible after launch: dependency updates, uptime monitoring, backups you can actually restore from, and small changes as the business moves.
Quarterly review of coverage, costs and what changed.
Periodic testing, when it is worth it
Deeper work for products with real stakes: application testing, periodic penetration testing with your own explicit authorisation, and remediation carried through to a finished state.
Offered to qualified projects, within agreed scope.
What secure means
Palisadium works through a written security baseline as a launch gate, not an afterthought. Every item maps to a line in the project record, and a signed copy is retained as the audit trail behind the label.
Hardening is part of development, not a review bolted on at the end. Controls exist before launch because they were written while the code was written.
Checked, or marked not applicable with a one-line reason. Nothing is silently skipped, and nothing is described as done before it is.
Critical and high findings are fixed, not recorded in a spreadsheet and left open. The gate closes on closure, not on documentation.
The baseline is signed off internally before the project is told it is launch-ready. Timeline pressure changes the deadline, never the bar.
A readable summary of what was done, and what remains your own responsibility. The full technical record stays with us as the audit trail.
Sample audits
Every finding below is evidence-backed against a real, publicly accessible website. Each one quotes the DNS record or HTTP header that proves it. These are sample audits, not client work — included so you can see the shape of what we deliver before we talk.
2 high-severity findings. No DMARC record (anyone can spoof email from the domain) and HTTP serves the site with status 200, no redirect to HTTPS (visitors on plain HTTP can be intercepted). Both verified against live DNS and curl.
1 high, 1 medium. No DMARC record (email spoofing risk) and no DKIM record (outbound mail can't be cryptographically attributed). SPF is correctly hard-failed. Both verified against live DNS.
These are sample audits of publicly accessible websites, run passively — no logins, no probes, no credentials asked for. If you'd like your own site audited the same way, the next step is on the Portfolio page.
Verification, priced separately
from £1,200*
A one-time verification of an application against OWASP ASVS Level 1: approximately 70 requirements, reviewed, tested and reported.
Quoted at cost for larger applications, additional environments, or a re-test after remediation. Net of VAT for VAT-registered business clients, which accounts for it under the reverse charge.
* Estimated at 6–10 hours for a typical small application. That estimate has not yet been timed against a real project, so larger scope is quoted at cost rather than billed on a fixed figure. This is a floor, not a fixed fee.
This is the one item Palisadium offers as a standalone purchase. Full pricing is quoted per project, and penetration testing is always separately authorised.
About
Palisadium combines web development and cybersecurity in a single accountable relationship: build the product, harden it, then keep it maintained and defended. The commercial aim is project work followed by recurring care, rather than disconnected builds and separate security engagements.
The firm is founder-led, with Mustafa at the point of accountability for design, engineering and the security bar. The work is delivered from Lahore and offered to clients across markets. International targeting is confirmed; the specific first segment is still being narrowed, and the plan is to establish a credible offer and a working enquiry path before increasing any outreach.
There is a written security baseline behind every use of the word “secure”, and a documented service boundary on every engagement. Both are deliberate. A claim you cannot point to evidence for is not worth making on a website.

Tell us what you are trying to do, roughly what it costs you today, and when you need it. You will receive a scoped proposal with deliverables, exclusions, responsibilities and a delivery date — not a generic reply.
Please include the word Palisadium in the subject line so your message reaches the right inbox.
Send the project description and we will reply with a written scope. We aim to acknowledge every enquiry within one working day and to send a proposal within five.
What to include
The problem you are trying to solve, the users or clients involved, anything currently in place, an indicative budget, and the date you are working towards.
What you will get back
A written scope: deliverables, what is excluded, what you supply, a delivery date and the care option afterwards. Founder review before anything is sent.
