About

Darnell Labs is an independent studio run by a working IT administrator with years of hands-on experience keeping a growing small business running, and a background in penetration testing and software development.

Small businesses are now asked the same security questions as large companies, usually without a security team to answer them. Our tools turn those questions into a clear list of what to fix and what proof to keep.
