Our Story: Pioneering Cybersecurity Since 2002

Founded on Innovation and Excellence

PetronellaTech was founded in 2002 with a revolutionary vision: to create the most comprehensive cybersecurity assessment methodology in the industry. While other firms focused on single aspects of security, we recognized that true protection required a holistic approach.

Our proprietary 4-Pillars Security Methodology was born from this insight, evaluating not just technology, but also the critical human, process, and collaboration elements that traditional assessments miss. This comprehensive approach has resulted in our remarkable track record: zero successful breaches among organizations that have implemented our recommendations.

Industry Leadership and Recognition

Over two decades, we've grown from a pioneering startup to an industry leader, trusted by over 2,500 organizations worldwide. Our expertise spans across industries, from healthcare to defense contractors, from startups to Fortune 500 companies.

Our work has been featured on major media outlets including ABC News, CBS News, and WRAL, establishing us as go-to experts for cybersecurity commentary and analysis.
