Senior-led, start to finish
When you hire a large firm, the person who sold the engagement is rarely the person who tests. Here, the same senior team scopes, tests and writes the report, so nothing is lost in hand-offs.
- Red team lead experience on highly segregated, sensitive networks
- Original zero-day research and contributions to widely used open-source offensive tools
- Cloud attack-path testing across AWS, Azure and GCP
- Manual source code review in Python, Java, Go, C/C++, C#, Ruby, PHP and more
- Reports written for both executives and engineers
Approach
A clear process with no surprises
- 1
Scope
We agree on targets, objectives, rules of engagement and timing in writing before any testing starts.
- 2
Test
Manual, hands-on testing with proven tooling. Critical findings are reported to you immediately, not held for the report.
- 3
Report
An executive summary for leadership and technical findings with evidence, risk ratings and clear remediation steps.
- 4
Retest
After you fix, we verify the fixes and update the report so you can show the issues are closed.
