Pentesting: think like an attacker.
Close real gaps.

Automated scanning is not a pentest. We deliver penetration testing with manual validation, controlled exploitation, and actionable reporting including a remediation plan and re-test.

Reference practices: OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) and PTES to structure scoping, execution, reporting and closure.

The most requested penetration tests

Real coverage across web, APIs, infrastructure, Active Directory and cloud—focused on impact and closure.

Web App Pentest

OWASP Top 10, access control, auth, sessions, SSRF, insecure deserialization, etc.

API Security Testing

Authorization (BOLA/IDOR), rate-limits, JWT/OAuth, enumeration and abuse-cases.

External Infrastructure

Perimeter exposure, services, configuration and compromise paths.

Internal Infrastructure

Lateral movement, segmentation, credentials and privilege escalation.

Active Directory

Misconfigurations, delegation, Kerberos, paths to DA, controls and hardening.

Cloud

IAM, storage, secret sprawl, networking, workloads, containers and serverless.

Web & APIs

Web Application & API Penetration Testing

OWASP-driven testing, business logic, authentication (SSO/JWT/OAuth), authorization, SSRF, IDOR/BOLA, etc. We prioritize real impact and exploitability.

OWASP WSTG API Security Business Logic

Infrastructure & AD

Network / Infrastructure & Active Directory Assessments

External/internal exposure, privilege escalation, AD misconfigurations, compromise paths, segmentation checks and actionable evidence for hardening.

External/Internal Privilege Esc. AD Assessment

Cloud

Cloud Pentesting & Security Posture Review (AWS/Azure/GCP)

IAM review, exposed storage, credentials/secrets, escalation paths, containers and serverless. Focus on business risk.

IAM Misconfig Containers

Fix Verification

Remediation Plan + Re-test

Executive + technical reporting, prioritized backlog, practical recommendations, and re-validation to confirm closures.

Backlog Evidence Re-test

Methodology

Full cycle: scoping, execution, evidence, remediation plan and re-test.

OWASP WSTG and PTES help keep testing and reporting consistent across engagements.

Scope & Rules of Engagement (RoE)

Define objectives, assets, exclusions, windows and safety thresholds. Agree reporting cadence and escalation channels for critical findings.

Reconnaissance & threat modeling

Map the real attack surface (external/internal), authentication flows, roles, integrations and dependencies to identify compromise paths.

Execution: manual validation & controlled exploitation

Validate findings with expert judgment to minimize false positives. Chain vulnerabilities when relevant to demonstrate real impact with evidence.

Actionable report + readout session

Executive and technical reporting: severity, impact, PoC, evidence, quick wins and a remediation plan by team/owner.

Re-test & closure evidence

Re-validate prioritized findings to confirm fixes and update evidence—ideal for audits and compliance programs.

Deliverables that drive closure

The value of pentesting is not “the report”—it’s faster decisions and remediation. We deliver clear evidence, an actionable backlog, and re-testing to verify fixes.

Technical report (PoC + evidence)

Reproducible details, impact, traces, endpoints, parameters, screenshots and concrete recommendations.

Executive report (risk & decisions)

Domain-level summary, top risks, exposure, quick wins and remediation roadmap.

Prioritized backlog (actionable)

List by criticality/exposure, suggested owner, dependencies and verification steps (re-test).

Readout session

Workshop with your engineers and stakeholders to align on fixes and prevent regressions.

What we look for “as an attacker”

Common real-world paths: broken access control, injection, crypto misuse, SSRF, insecure design— validated manually to reduce noise and false positives.

Broken Access Control / IDOR CRITICAL
Injection (SQL/NoSQL/OS) CRITICAL
SSRF / Internal pivot HIGH
Auth/JWT/OAuth misuse HIGH
Misconfig + secrets exposure MEDIUM

We combine automation with expert manual validation and remediation-oriented reporting to help teams close findings.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a pentest take?

It depends on scope. A web/API pentest typically takes 5–15 days; infrastructure/AD can take 2–4 weeks. We adjust by criticality, number of assets and complexity.

Do you provide audit-ready evidence?

Yes. We include evidence and traceability, plus an executive summary that supports audits and frameworks like NIS2/DORA/ENS/ISO 27001.

What makes you different from “commodity” vendors?

Less noise, more impact: manual validation, business logic analysis, vulnerability chaining when relevant, and an actionable backlog with re-test.

Can you coordinate with our SOC/MDR?

Yes. We can work jointly to validate detections (use cases, alerts) and improve rules and response workflows.

Need a pentest that leads to fixes?

We scope properly, test with evidence, and deliver an actionable backlog with re-testing to verify closure.
