PlexTrac is a cybersecurity reporting and workflow management SaaS platform aimed at enhancing red- and blue-team collaboration by simplifying the creation, tracking, and resolution of security assessments. Founded by Dan DeCloss, a former DoD pentester with over 15 years of cybersecurity experience, the company strives to reduce tedious manual reporting in enterprise environments. In 2022, PlexTrac raised $81M in total funding, including $70M in Series B.

Dan had a bootstrapped MVP that showed promise, but lacked the enterprise-grade polish and scalability required to support growing clients.

With just one internal engineer, PlexTrac needed assistance to (a) redesign UI/UX for enterprise adoption; (b) upgrade backend architecture for performance and reliability; (c) introduce feature-rich workflows that would enable larger clients to move away from legacy systems; and (d) scale development capacity to keep pace with sales-driven deadlines pre- and post-Series A.

To kick off the partnership and build our relationship, Dan came to Prague to meet with his dedicated OAK’S LAB team, aligning around agile ceremonies and implementing The OAK’S LAB WAY.

Our initial focus was twofold:

‍Architecture & UI overhaul‍

We refactored backend services for scalability and redesigned the UI/UX for improved clarity, navigation, and user experience.

‍Feature development & QA‍

We delivered deeply integrated workflows, comprehensive reporting tools, real-time issue tracking, and release-tested features critical for enterprise adoption.

Following PlexTrac’s Series A, we augmented our team with a second team to deliver two major product modules, backed by a comprehensive testing strategy (unit, E2E, and manual) and phased alpha/beta rollout plans. We also co-developed release documentation and handover materials for PlexTrac’s growing internal team in Boise.
