Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing

What we test

• External network — internet-facing infrastructure, exposed services, perimeter configuration and attack surface discovery.
• Internal network — post-compromise lateral movement, privilege escalation, directory service attack paths and segmentation validation.
• Web applications — tested against the OWASP Testing Guide, with manual business logic testing that scanners cannot perform.
• APIs — authentication, authorisation, object-level access control, rate limiting and data exposure.
• Mobile applications — Android and iOS, covering client-side storage, transport security, and the backing API.
• Cloud configuration — identity and access, network exposure, storage permissions and logging across AWS, Azure and Google Cloud.
• Wireless and physical — where the scope calls for it.

Why the report is different

The failure mode of this market is a 200-page automated scan output with every informational finding included, no validation, and no exploitability assessment. It wastes engineering time and gives the audit committee no basis for a decision.

Every finding we report is manually validated. Each one states what we did, what we got, why it matters in your specific context, and what to change. Findings are rated on likelihood and impact rather than on the scanner's default CVSS score, because a critical-rated vulnerability on an isolated test host is not a critical business risk.

Rules of engagement

Testing is destructive if it is done carelessly. Before any traffic is sent we agree a written rules-of-engagement document: in-scope targets and explicit exclusions, testing windows, prohibited techniques such as denial of service or social engineering unless separately authorised, escalation contacts, and a stop condition. We provide source IP addresses in advance so your SOC can distinguish us from a genuine attacker — or, if you want to test detection, we agree deliberately not to.
