Penetration Testing Services — Discover, Exploit, Fix
Our penetration testing services replicate attacker techniques to find real, exploitable weaknesses — then we show you how to fix them. From targeted web app tests to enterprise red team campaigns, we deliver prioritized PoC exploits, remediation playbooks, retests, and SOC-ready detection guidance.
Why Penetration Testing Is Essential
Automated scanners flag issues, but they can’t prove exploitability or show chained attack paths.
Pentesting answers: what could an attacker do today, how fast, and how would we detect it?
Outcomes: prioritize fixes by real risk, demonstrate compliance, improve detection and IR playbooks, and harden business-critical workflows.
Who Should Buy a Penetration Test
Pre-release assurance for major launches.
Compliance audits (PCI, SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR) needing evidence.
Suspicious activity or validation of detection stacks.
Integrating critical third-party services or M&A due diligence.
Handling payments, PII/PHI or other sensitive data.

How We Run a Penetration Test — Methodology & Safety
0. Rules of Engagement & Legal
Scope, allowed targets, blackout windows, escalation contacts, NDA and authorization.
1. Recon & Asset Mapping
Passive/active discovery: subdomains, ports, libs, third-parties, hidden endpoints, CT logs.
2. Threat Modeling
Map critical assets and attacker goals; prioritize attack paths by business impact.
3. Vulnerability Discovery
Quality scanners for breadth; manual techniques for logic/privilege/chain flaws.
4. Exploitation (Safe, Reproducible)
Non-destructive PoCs; reversible/documented steps; destructive actions only with explicit sign-off.
5. Post-Exploitation
Assess data access, system control, persistence, lateral movement, privilege escalation.
6. Remediation Guidance
Prioritized code/config changes, WAF rules, IDS/IPS tuning, CI test cases.
7. Retest & Closure
Verify applied fixes; confirm closure for critical/high findings.
8. Reporting & Handover
Executive summary, technical appendix with PoCs, remediation playbook, SIEM/WAF detection recipes.
Deliverables — What You Receive
Executive summary (1–3 pages): impact and immediate actions.
Technical report: reproducible PoCs, severity (CVSS-style), affected endpoints, remediation steps.
Remediation playbook: developer-focused fixes, code/config examples.
Retest report for critical/high issues.
Detection & monitoring recipes: SIEM correlations, WAF signatures, IOC lists.
Optional workshops and tabletop exercises.

How to Prepare — 10-Point Checklist
1) Target asset list (domains, subdomains, IPs, APIs).
2) Non-production replica or blackout windows.
3) Test user accounts per role (with expiry).
4) Architecture and identity flows (SSO/OAuth).
5) Critical business hours and maintenance windows.
6) Escalation contacts.
7) Temporary ticket access for remediation (optional).
8) Data retention and evidence export needs.
9) Backups and rollback plan with ops.
10) Internal comms to avoid false positives during testing.
Common Questions (FAQ)
How is a pentest different from a vulnerability scan?
A scan lists potential issues. A pentest verifies and chains them to demonstrate real risk and impact.
Will testing break production?
Default posture is non-destructive. Any destructive actions occur only with explicit authorization in maintenance windows.
Can you test behind SSO/MFA?
Yes — we require test accounts or delegated test methods. Complex SSO/MFA increases scope/time.
When will we get the report?
Draft technical report typically within 5–10 business days after testing, plus an executive summary. Expedited options available.
Do you include retesting?
Yes. Retests are included in many packages or available as an add-on. PTaaS includes recurring validation.
