Our methodology

Standards set the floor. People find the rest.

Aligned to CREST, OWASP and PTES, run by certified testers. Frameworks tell you what to check. The findings that matter come from someone working out how your system was meant to behave, then breaking that assumption.

The process

Seven stages. One clear engagement.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Understand goals, scope, environment and attack surface.

  2. 02

    Map

    Identify assets, technologies, trust boundaries and potential attack paths.

  3. 03

    Test

    Manual exploitation and deep security testing, by hand.

  4. 04

    Validate

    Verify findings, remove false positives and assess real impact.

  5. 05

    Chain

    Identify multi-step attack paths and privilege escalation.

  6. 06

    Report

    Deliver clear technical and executive reporting with remediation guidance.

  7. 07

    Retest

    Verify fixes according to the agreed retest scope.

What we commit to

Offensive testing with production safety in mind.

Zero downtime policy

Testing is controlled and non-destructive. Windows are agreed with your engineering team, thresholds are watched live, and we stop and call you the moment anything starts to degrade.

Mutual NDA first

An NDA is signed before scoping, not after. Test data is encrypted at rest, readable only by the testers on your engagement, and destroyed on request once the retest closes.

Responsible disclosure

Anything critical reaches you the same day it is found, ahead of the report. Where a finding touches a third-party product, we coordinate disclosure with that vendor through you, on your timeline.

Remediation validation

Every finding is exploited and evidenced before it reaches you, so there are no false positives to triage. After you fix them, the retest confirms the issue is closed rather than moved.
