Scoping & discovery
We start with a detailed kickoff to understand your environment, business context, compliance requirements, and what you are most concerned about. This shapes the entire engagement.
- Scope document
- Threat model
- Compliance mapping
Every engagement is scoped to your actual environment - not a generic checklist. Here is what we cover.
Your web applications are the most visible attack surface you have. We test authentication flows, session management, input validation, API endpoints, and business logic - going well beyond automated scanners. We follow OWASP Top 10 and include manual exploitation to confirm real risk.
→ Find exploitable flaws before attackers do
Focus Areas
Internal and external network testing that maps your perimeter, identifies misconfigurations, checks for unpatched services, and tests lateral movement paths attackers could use once inside. Covers firewalls, VPNs, routers, servers, and endpoints.
→ Map real attack paths across your infrastructure
Focus Areas
APIs are increasingly the primary target for attackers. We test REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs for broken authentication, excessive data exposure, rate limiting failures, injection vulnerabilities, and authorisation bypass - issues that standard web testing often misses.
→ Catch API-specific vulnerabilities others miss
Focus Areas
iOS and Android app testing covering local data storage, binary analysis, traffic interception, insecure communication, and backend API security. We assess both the app and how it interacts with your server-side infrastructure.
→ Secure the full mobile attack surface
Focus Areas
Cloud misconfiguration is now one of the leading causes of data exposure. We assess AWS, Azure, and GCP environments for IAM misconfigurations, publicly exposed storage, weak access controls, insecure serverless functions, and privilege escalation paths.
→ Identify cloud misconfigurations before they leak data
Focus Areas
Technical controls only go so far. We run controlled phishing campaigns, pretexting scenarios, and email-based attack simulations to test how your people respond - and help you build a culture where employees are part of your security posture, not a liability.
→ Test the human layer of your security
Focus Areas
A lot of security firms run automated tools and hand you a spreadsheet. That is not what we do.
Automated tools catch known patterns. Manual testers find logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and contextual risks that no scanner will surface. Every engagement includes hands-on testing by our security team.
We understand what you are protecting and why it matters. Our reports speak in business terms - not just CVE scores. You will know which findings pose actual risk to your operations, not just theoretical threats.
We write findings in plain language with clear reproduction steps, severity context, and specific remediation guidance. No vague recommendations. Your engineering team should know exactly what to fix and how.
Fixing vulnerabilities is only half the job. We include a retest round after remediation to confirm the fixes are effective and that the changes have not introduced new issues.
A SaaS startup has different risk priorities than a financial services firm. We scope every engagement around your actual threat model, not a one-size-fits-all methodology.
You will not wait until the end of the engagement to hear what we found. We flag critical issues as we discover them so your team can start triaging before the report is even delivered.
From first conversation to final remediation confirmation, here is how we run an engagement.
We start with a detailed kickoff to understand your environment, business context, compliance requirements, and what you are most concerned about. This shapes the entire engagement.
We agree on testing windows, systems in scope, notification procedures, and escalation paths. No surprises - for either side.
Our team runs manual and tool-assisted testing across the agreed scope. Critical findings are flagged to you in real time. We document everything as we go.
You receive an executive summary for leadership and a detailed technical report for your engineering team - with severity ratings, evidence, reproduction steps, and remediation guidance.
We stay available to answer questions from your developers as they work through fixes. We can also provide guidance calls if specific findings need deeper explanation.
Once you have addressed the findings, we retest to confirm remediation is effective and issue a clean sign-off letter - useful for auditors, customers, and partners.
We use industry-standard tooling, combined with custom scripts and manual techniques that go beyond what commercial platforms can do.
Open-source intelligence and attack surface mapping to understand what is exposed before active testing begins.
Automated and manual scanning to identify known weaknesses across networks, applications, and infrastructure.
Manual exploitation and chaining to confirm real-world impact beyond what scanners report.
Static and dynamic analysis of iOS and Android applications, including runtime manipulation and backend API testing.
Configuration review and privilege escalation testing across major cloud platforms.
Every report includes CVSS scores, CWE references, OWASP mapping, and business impact context your teams can act on.
Security testing is only as good as the testers doing it.
CEH, OSCP, and CRTE-certified professionals who think like attackers. Many have backgrounds in CTF competitions and independent security research.
Deep expertise in secure code review, threat modelling, and application-layer vulnerabilities across web, mobile, and API environments.
Hands-on experience securing AWS, Azure, and GCP environments across startups and enterprise clients, including regulated industries.
Specialists who understand what auditors are looking for and how to structure testing to support ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, and DPDP compliance.
Beyond the report, here is what you actually get from a well-run engagement.
Know your product is ready to face real users and real attackers - not after something goes wrong.
When your team understands the security risks in your codebase, they write better code going forward.
Identified and fixed vulnerabilities cannot be exploited. The cost of a test is a fraction of the cost of a breach.
Documented testing results that satisfy auditors, enterprise customers, and regulatory bodies.
Security-conscious buyers increasingly ask vendors for evidence of testing. A clean report is a sales asset.
Our executive summaries give leadership a clear picture of security posture without requiring technical background.
Whether you have an upcoming compliance audit, a product launch, or a nagging feeling that your security posture needs a proper look - we can help you work out what the right engagement looks like. No sales pitch. Just an honest conversation.

Everything you need to know.
Pricing depends on scope, complexity, and testing duration. A focused web application test for a small SaaS product might run for two to three weeks. A comprehensive red team engagement for a large enterprise could span several months. We scope every engagement before pricing - contact us and we will give you an honest estimate based on your actual requirements.
A targeted web application test typically takes five to ten business days. Network assessments vary based on the number of hosts and complexity of the environment. Red team engagements are typically scoped in weeks. We will give you a clear timeline during scoping.
We work with you to define testing windows and can conduct assessments against staging environments if production disruption is a concern. Critical exploitation steps are confirmed with you before execution during active testing.
If you handle customer data, process payments, run a SaaS product, or operate in a regulated industry, the answer is almost certainly yes. Even if you are not yet required to test by compliance frameworks, understanding your real exposure is basic risk management.
A vulnerability scan identifies known weaknesses using automated tools. A penetration test goes further - testers manually exploit those weaknesses, chain multiple vulnerabilities together, and demonstrate the actual business impact of a successful attack. Scans tell you what might be wrong. Penetration tests tell you what an attacker could actually do.
Look for certifications (OSCP, CEH, CREST), evidence of manual testing rather than pure automation, clear reporting standards, and a willingness to explain their methodology before you engage. Ask to see a sample report. Be cautious of firms that jump straight to pricing before understanding your environment.
We do not handle remediation directly, but we provide detailed guidance that your development or IT team can act on. We are available for questions during the remediation phase and include a retest to confirm fixes once you have addressed the findings.
You receive an executive summary, a full technical report, and a prioritised remediation list. We stay available during your remediation cycle, and we run a retest to validate fixes. If you need a sign-off letter for compliance purposes, we provide that after remediation is confirmed.
