About

How we think,
who we are.

Evidence, scope and judgment. How we work, where we come from and who stands behind it.

How we think

Evidence, scope
and judgment.

Build, learn and share. These principles guide every assessment and every line of Kirux.

01

Prove it or don’t report it

Every finding is verified with reproducible evidence before it is recorded. We don’t hand over generic lists.

02

Observed is not confirmed

We distinguish what was observed from what was confirmed and state the validation level of every finding.

03

Authorization first

Nothing starts without an explicit scope and permission. To begin: external, non-destructive, read-only recon.

04

Judgment stays with the team

AI expands what we can connect and build. Professional review remains part of the service.

About us

Offensive and cloud security,
with a clear scope.

NullGhost is a Mexican offensive and cloud security firm serving companies in Mexico and LATAM. We work with a defined scope, reproducible evidence and reports that serve both leadership and the people who implement the fixes.

Behind NullGhost is Ricardo Martinez, founder, with experience in cybersecurity. Kirux, our platform, grew out of that work.

How we began

From experience
to a platform.

  1. 1

    Experience in cybersecurity

    A question that kept coming back: how do we turn what we learned into something others can use?

  2. 2

    NullGhost gave it a place

    A brand of our own and a way of working: clear scope, evidence and reports people can understand.

  3. 3

    KIRUX gave it shape

    A platform that connects security testing, operations and cloud posture to the findings that matter.

  4. 4

    AI expanded what we could build

    More capacity to connect tools and evidence. Judgment stays with the team.
