Verify it the way an attacker would

Penetration testing, red / blue / purple team exercises and vulnerability management

Every finding in our report has been proven exploitable, with a reproducible attack path. Scope covers external, internal, wireless, application, cloud and Kubernetes, plus Active Directory and hardware / IoT. The test is not the end: findings enter a running management process until they are closed.

Our approach

One team scopes, executes and retests; conclusions are delivered as evidence, not checklists.

01

Findings come from manual verification, not a scanner

Testers hold OSCP, OSEP and OSWE and work to PTES and OWASP methodology. Every risk is exploited by hand; unverified scanner output does not appear in the report.

02

Risk is presented as attack paths, not isolated vulnerabilities

The report follows the attack chain: initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement and objective. Management sees business impact; engineering sees reproduction steps and remediation order.

03

Results enter a running management process after the test

Retest and closure statement are part of the contract. For ongoing tracking, findings feed a process run by asset, priority and SLA that connects to your ticketing system.

Deliverables

01

Attack-path report

Each risk with reproduction steps, blast radius and remediation, ranked by business impact rather than scanner score.

02

Remediation verification

Retest after fixes with a closure statement; open items carry a reason and an interim mitigation.

03

Vulnerability management process

Assets, priorities, SLAs and a dashboard that plug into your ticketing, so results enter daily operations.

How we deliver

Four stages, each with defined inputs, outputs and a client sign-off.

01Week 1

Scoping and authorisation

Confirm asset inventory, test types, windows and prohibited actions; sign the authorisation; name emergency contacts on both sides.

02Weeks 2–3

Testing

Reconnaissance, discovery and manual exploitation. Critical findings are reported immediately, not held for the report.

03Week 4

Report and walkthrough

Attack-path report with remediation guidance, presented to engineering and management.

04Within 2 weeks of fixes

Retest and closure

Item-by-item retest and closure statement; open items carry a reason and interim mitigation.

Case

UK IT integrator — penetration test of APAC production sites

The client runs production sites across several APAC countries and needed external exposure and internal lateral paths verified without disrupting delivery. We authorised sites in batches, completed external, internal and AD testing within agreed windows, delivered risks as attack paths and retested each fix to closure.

Frequently asked questions

Notes on scope, execution and delivery standards. Contact us for anything not covered here.

A vulnerability scan uses a tool and a signature database to identify known weaknesses automatically; results include false positives and say nothing about exploitability in your environment. A penetration test has engineers apply an attacker's methods, verify and chain vulnerabilities by hand, and deliver reproducible attack paths with business impact. The two are complementary: scanning for frequent coverage, testing for depth.

Start from where you stand

Security, data and AI each start with a review of where you stand. The report and its findings are yours, whether or not the engagement continues.
