Penetration Testing

Find exploitable weaknessesbefore attackers do

Manual, evidence-led penetration testing for web applications, APIs, cloud environments, and networks. You also receive a prioritized remediation plan your team can use.

A focused 30-minute call to review your assets, timeline, and testing constraints. No obligation.

When to test

Test before risk becomes a customer conversation

SaaS teams preparing to launch

Test critical application paths, APIs, authentication, and cloud exposure before customers and sensitive data arrive.

Teams facing a security review

Build credible evidence for enterprise buyers, investors, insurers, or compliance programs with a structured assessment and clear remediation record.

Products after a major change

Reassess the attack surface after a migration, new integration, authentication change, acquisition, or significant release.

Testing coverage

Follow the attack paths that matter to your business

Every engagement is scoped around your actual systems, users, data, and threat model, not a generic checklist.

Web application testing

Assess user-facing and administrative workflows for injection, access-control failures, session weaknesses, insecure uploads, and exploitable business logic.

API penetration testing

Test REST and GraphQL APIs for broken authorization, object-level access issues, unsafe data exposure, abuse paths, and weak rate controls.

Cloud and configuration review

Identify exposed services, risky permissions, storage mistakes, secret leakage, and security gaps in the cloud components included in scope.

External and internal networks

Evaluate reachable infrastructure, services, segmentation, and realistic paths an attacker could use to gain or expand access.

Identity and access controls

Challenge login, password reset, session handling, multi-factor flows, tenant boundaries, roles, and privilege transitions.

Business-logic abuse

Go beyond automated checks to test how real product workflows can be combined, bypassed, or manipulated for unintended outcomes.

What you receive

Evidence your team can turn into fixes

A useful pen test does more than list vulnerabilities. We validate the risk, show how it affects your product, and give engineers enough context to resolve it efficiently.

  • Agreed scope, rules of engagement, test windows, and stop conditions
  • Executive summary written for business and product stakeholders
  • Technical findings with severity, evidence, impact, and reproduction steps
  • Prioritized remediation guidance your engineering team can act on
  • Live readout with security, engineering, and leadership stakeholders
  • A defined retest option for remediated findings and an updated result
Process and timeline

Controlled testing, clear communication, no surprises

The scope determines the final schedule. A focused application or API assessment commonly takes one to two weeks of testing.

1. Scope and authorizeBefore testing

We define assets, environments, accounts, exclusions, test windows, communication paths, and written authorization. Testing starts only after the rules are clear.

2. Map the attack surfaceDays 1–2

We understand the system, enumerate exposed functionality, map trust boundaries, and identify the highest-value paths to test manually.

3. Test and validateTypically 1–2 weeks

We combine careful tooling with hands-on testing, validate exploitability, remove false positives, and communicate critical issues as soon as they are confirmed.

4. Report, fix, and retestAfter testing

You receive a stakeholder-ready report and technical walkthrough. Once fixes are ready, we retest agreed findings and update their status.

Engagement model

A defensible scope before a price or promise

Penetration testing is priced around the attack surface and depth of work, not a page count. The number of applications, roles, API endpoints, integrations, environments, and network ranges all affect the effort required.

After a short scoping call, we provide a written proposal with the targets, approach, timeline, deliverables, and engagement pricing.

What we will clarify on the first call

  • The applications, APIs, environments, and network ranges in scope
  • User roles, authentication flows, and the most sensitive data paths
  • Your launch, customer review, audit, or remediation deadline
  • Testing constraints, exclusions, access needs, and reporting audience

Manual validation matters

A scanner can find patterns. An attacker finds paths.

We use appropriate tools for coverage, then investigate like a real adversary: testing permissions, chaining weaknesses, and challenging business logic. Findings are reported only after they are validated in the context of your system.

Safe testing

Protect the business while testing it

Penetration testing should reduce risk, not introduce an operational surprise. Guardrails are agreed before the first request is sent.

  • Written authorization and a named point of contact before testing begins
  • Explicit scope, exclusions, testing windows, and emergency stop procedure
  • No destructive testing, denial-of-service activity, or persistence without separate approval
  • Encrypted handling of credentials, evidence, and assessment reports
  • Immediate escalation of critical findings instead of waiting for the final report
FAQ

Common questions about penetration testing

How is a penetration test different from a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan uses automated checks to flag possible issues. A penetration test adds human analysis: testers validate exploitability, combine weaknesses, examine access controls and business logic, remove false positives, and explain the practical impact. Automated tooling can support the work, but it is not the final result.

What can you test?

We scope assessments around web applications, APIs, authentication and authorization, cloud configurations, and external or internal network assets. The exact target list, test depth, and exclusions are agreed before testing so the engagement matches your risk and operating environment.

Can testing be performed safely in production?

Sometimes, with tight controls. We first discuss your architecture, availability requirements, sensitive workflows, and test data. Where production risk is unacceptable, we recommend a representative staging environment and may reserve a limited set of checks for production validation.

How long does a penetration test take?

A focused application or API assessment commonly takes one to two weeks of testing, followed by reporting and a readout. Larger applications, multiple roles, complex APIs, or network and cloud scope require more time. We confirm the schedule after a short scoping call.

What does the final report include?

You receive an executive summary, the agreed scope and methodology, validated findings ranked by severity, evidence and reproduction guidance, business impact, and practical remediation recommendations. We also walk your team through the results live.

Is a retest included?

The retest scope and timing are defined in the proposal. We verify whether the original attack path has been closed and update the finding status so you have a clear record of the result.

Will a penetration test make us compliant?

A penetration test can support security and compliance work, but it does not by itself certify an organization or guarantee compliance. We provide clear evidence of what was tested, what was found, and what was fixed for your auditors, customers, and internal stakeholders to evaluate.
