CD Nuggets

Securing Digital Frontiers Through Offensive Precision

CD Nuggets is an offensive cybersecurity startup founded by postgraduates holding a Master’s degree in Cybersecurity. We specialise in high-impact manual penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and adversary simulation. Operating with a genuine attacker’s mindset, our mission is to identify and neutralise critical vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them.


Why CD Nuggets?

  • Next-Generation Threat Intelligence & AI: We evaluate emerging threat vectors—including vulnerabilities introduced by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automated workflows—ensuring modern architectures remain resilient against intelligent attack surfaces.
  • Methodology-Driven Testing: Our assessments follow rigorous industry frameworks—including OWASP, NIST, and PTES—prioritising deep manual testing over superficial automated scans.
  • Defence-Grade Standards & OPSEC: Trust and strict Operational Security (OPSEC) underpin everything we do. We align our processes with the highest regulatory benchmarks, with our long-term trajectory actively geared towards achieving a NATO Certificate for security compliance.

Our Mission: Delivering actionable, defence-grade security validation to forward-thinking organisations across Bulgaria, the UK, and Europe.

Cybersecurity & Penetration Testing

Are you passionate about offensive security and breaking complex systems? We are looking for talented penetration testers and ethical hackers driven by manual adversarial testing, web and network exploitation, and strict OPSEC standards. Join us in building a modern, high-assurance security boutique.

AI & Autonomous Agent Engineering

We are integrating advanced AI into offensive testing workflows. We seek specialists proficient with frontier models—such as ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini—as well as open-source frameworks like DeepSeek, Kimi, and Qwen. Help us build autonomous AI agents that streamline threat research and discovery.

Business Growth & Ecosystem Partners

Great technical execution requires commercial momentum. If you excel at B2B sales, commercial strategy, digital outreach, or building investor relations across Bulgaria, the UK, and the EU, let us collaborate. Help shape our trajectory and establish CD Nuggets as a trusted name in the industry.

What We Do

We deliver rigorous, manual-first security assessments designed to uncover critical risks before adversaries can exploit them. Our methodologies blend deep offensive expertise with cutting-edge tooling to protect your core digital infrastructure.

Web Application & API Penetration Testing

We assess web platforms, client portals, and modern APIs against OWASP Top 10 risks. Our manual exploitation uncovers broken logic, authentication flaws, and injection vectors often missed by automated tools.

Network & Cloud Infrastructure Security

Comprehensive evaluations of internal, external, and hybrid cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP). We identify misconfigurations, weak perimeters, privilege escalation paths, and lateral movement risks.

AI Model & Automated Workflow Assessment

Targeted security analysis for businesses deploying LLMs and autonomous AI agents. We test for prompt injection, insecure data pipelines, model manipulation, and API integration vulnerabilities.

Social Engineering & Adversarial Exercises

We evaluate workforce resilience and technical response through tailored phishing campaigns, credential harvesting, and targeted cyber war game scenarios that simulate persistent threat actors.

Vulnerability Assessment & Secure Code Review

Systematic baseline scanning combined with static and dynamic code reviews (SAST/DAST). We pinpoint technical flaws early in the software development lifecycle (SDLC) to reduce remediation costs.

Technical Compliance & Security Advisory

Actionable gap assessments to align technical controls with industry frameworks and directives, including NIS2, DORA, and ISO 27001, building the foundation for defence-grade standards.
