Australian flagSecurity testing · BugXHunter with SCX.ai

Find the way in. Keep it onshore.

BugXHunter's certified testers find the weaknesses in your applications, networks and AI systems before someone else does. The AI that works alongside them runs on open-weight models hosted in Australia by SCX.ai, so the map of how to break into your business stays in the country.

The gap

A penetration test produces the most sensitive file you own.

The working notes of a test are your source code, the credentials that turned up, and the exact steps that got in. Testers now use AI to work through that material faster. Where that AI runs has become part of the test.

Where

Offshore AI, offshore data

Most AI-assisted testing sends its prompts to a model hosted overseas. Your weaknesses then sit on infrastructure governed by another country's laws.

What

A model you cannot inspect

A closed model is a service you rent. You cannot see it, pin it to a version, or choose where it runs. Open weights are published, so all three are possible.

Who

Scanners are not testers

A tool reports what it was built to look for. The flaws that end up in breach notices are found by a person who thinks about how your business actually works.

How it works

Four steps, one fixed price.

People lead every engagement. The model does the reading, cross-referencing and drafting that used to take up a tester's day, and it does it on Australian infrastructure.

Step 01

Scope

We agree what is in, what is out, and when testing can run. You get a scope, a timeline and a fixed price.

No surprises on the invoice

Step 02

Test

Certified testers attack the target by hand, the way a real intruder would, with a sovereign model working through the volume beside them.

People lead, AI assists

Step 03

Report

Every finding is triaged, rated, and written up with the evidence and the fix, in the format your own standards ask for.

Findings you can act on

Step 04

Retest

Once you have fixed what we found, we test it again. A finding is closed when we can no longer get in, not when a ticket says so.

Fixes confirmed closed

Services

What we test.

Six kinds of engagement, each scoped to your environment.

Web

Web applications

Authentication, access control, injection and business logic, tested against the OWASP standards.

Network

Network and infrastructure

What an intruder can reach from outside, and how far they can travel once they are inside.

API

APIs

REST, GraphQL and gRPC interfaces, including the ones your mobile apps and partners depend on.

Cloud

Cloud environments

Configuration, identity and exposure across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.

Red team

Red team operations

A realistic attack on a goal you choose, to measure how well your people and tools detect and respond.

AI

AI and LLM systems

Prompt injection, data leakage and agent misuse in the AI you have built, aligned to the OWASP LLM Top 10.

Australian flagSovereign AI

Built elsewhere. Run here. Working for Australia.

BugXHunter partners with SCX.ai, an Australian provider of sovereign AI inference, for the models behind its security research. SCX.ai runs open-weight models such as GLM-5.3 on infrastructure hosted in Australia.

Open weights mean the model itself is published. Nobody has to take a vendor's word for what it is, and it can be run wherever its operator chooses. For this work, that place is onshore.

If you answer to the Privacy Act, APRA CPS 234 or the SOCI Act, where your testing data goes is a question you will be asked. This gives you a short answer.

GLM-5.3 is an open-weight model published by Z AI. SCX.ai states that it does not train on customer data and that its controls are IRAP-aligned. Details are at scx.ai.
