Penetration Testing
Objective-driven testing aligned to industry standards. We chain weaknesses into real attack paths—across perimeter, internal networks, apps, identity, and cloud—and deliver fixes that land quickly.
Objective-Based
Scenarios mapped to your crown jewels (data, identity, availability) to demonstrate business impact.
Exploit Chains
From initial access to lateral movement and data access—evidence-backed paths, not hypothetical lists.
Actionable Remediation
Prioritized fixes with detection opportunities and retest to close the loop.
Who This Is For
- Organizations needing objective-based pentests with real exploit chains and evidence
- Windows/AD and identity-heavy environments (Kerberoasting, ACL/delegation, misconfig)
- Cloud and hybrid estates requiring lateral movement and IAM design tests
Realistic testing, measurable outcomes
We simulate credible adversaries within agreed rules of engagement. Testing includes external and internal networks, web/mobile/API, Active Directory and identity, cloud infrastructures, and modern perimeter (WAF, VPN, SASE).
Engagement models: black-, grey-, and white-box; authenticated/unauthenticated; on-prem, hybrid, and cloud-native. We align scope and effort to risk and your objectives.
Penetration Testing Methodology (PTES Aligned)
We follow the Penetration Testing Execution Standard to ensure consistent, evidence-based results.
Pre-engagement
Scope, objectives, rules of engagement, comms, timeline, legal & safety.
Intelligence Gathering
OSINT, enumeration, service discovery, asset & trust mapping.
Threat Modeling
Abuse cases, attacker goals, path hypotheses, prioritization.
Vulnerability Analysis
Manual-first analysis, tooling-assisted discovery, de-dup/noise reduction.
Exploitation
Initial access, privilege escalation, defense evasion within agreed bounds.
Post-Exploitation
Impact validation, lateral movement, data proofs, and clean-up.
Reporting
Executive summary, evidence, risk & remediation plan; retest window.
Penetration Test Scope & Deliverables
A complete industry standard aligned engagement with clear outcomes.
Discovery & Enumeration
Asset mapping, service identification, versioning, attack-surface baselining.
Exploit Development
Where needed: tailored payloads, auth bypass, token abuse, and chained impact.
Reporting & Artifacts
Evidence, PoCs, reproduction steps, detection ideas, and backlog-ready tickets.
Fix Support & Retest
Q&A on a dedicated channel and retest to verify remediation.

Reporting Engineers Love
Clear evidence, risk mapping, and tickets that drop into your backlog.
Safe by Design
Strict rules of engagement, data minimization, and immediate stop on impact.
Penetration Testing — FAQ
Send what you can; we’ll guide the rest:
- Objectives and success criteria
- In-scope assets (domains, IPs, apps, cloud accounts)
- Environment model (on-prem, hybrid, cloud)
- Access model (black/grey/white-box; test accounts)
- Change-freeze windows and outage sensitivity
- Detection/response visibility (EDR/SIEM) and desired signal level
- Compliance drivers (e.g., PCI DSS, DORA) if any
- Contact matrix, comms channel, and emergency stop
Yes. We align information and access to your objectives—pure external black-box, authenticated tests, or white-box with architectural insights.
We prefer test/staging, but can test production under strict rules of engagement, safe-mode techniques, maintenance windows, and an immediate stop procedure.
Yes. We can coordinate with your blue team, provide planned signal, and capture detection opportunities for your SIEM/EDR use cases.
