Services

Assessments are scoped, manual-first, and designed to reflect real-world attack paths rather than checklist-driven scanning.

  • OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
  • API security testing
  • Authentication & authorization flaws
  • Business logic and access control issues

Network Penetration Testing

  • Internal & external network assessments
  • Active Directory attack paths
  • Privilege escalation & lateral movement
  • Cloud & hybrid environments

Methodology

Testing follows a structured but flexible approach, prioritizing depth, accuracy, and clear validation of impact.

Threat Modeling

Understanding the application, architecture, and likely attacker objectives before testing begins.

Manual Exploitation

Focused manual testing supplemented by tooling — not automated scans alone.

Proof & Remediation

Verified proof-of-concept findings with practical, developer-friendly remediation guidance.

Attacker Mindset

Manual-First

Emphasis on logic flaws, access control issues, and edge cases scanners miss.
