Penetration testing & red team
We test applications, infrastructure, and trust boundaries to show how weaknesses connect—and what they put at risk. Manual testing, adversary emulation, and evidence your team can use.
The right engagement
Assess a system, test an internal foothold, challenge your defenses, or work through detection gaps with your team. The objective sets the scope.
Engagement 01
Where are the exploitable weaknesses?
A focused assessment of an application, environment, or release. We validate findings manually and connect weaknesses to their impact on the systems in scope.
The handoff
Technical findings with exploit evidence, severity context, and remediation guidance.
Engagement 02
What happens after the first foothold?
Start from an agreed point of access and test how far it can lead. Examine internal trust, privilege boundaries, and the controls intended to limit an intrusion.
The handoff
An attack-path map identifying reachable systems, failed boundaries, and hardening priorities.
Engagement 03
Can an adversary reach the objective?
An objective-led operation across people, processes, and technology. Threat-informed scenarios test both the attack path and how your organization detects and responds to it.
The handoff
An executive and technical attack narrative with control gaps and remediation priorities.
Engagement 04
Can your defenders see and stop it?
Work alongside your security team to replay agreed adversary behaviors, inspect the available telemetry, and test detection and response changes.
The handoff
Documented detection gaps, tested improvements, and remaining validation work.
Scope, access, testing windows, and retest coverage are agreed before the engagement begins.
Testing coverage
Test an individual surface or follow the connections across several. Each assessment is scoped to your environment and the access you authorize.
Authentication, authorization, business logic, API trust boundaries, and sensitive data handling.
Internet-facing services, exposed assets, and weaknesses that can create an initial access path.
Active Directory, privilege boundaries, lateral movement, segmentation, and trust relationships.
IAM, workload isolation, secrets, CI/CD access, and orchestration control-plane risks.
iOS and Android applications, backend APIs, local storage, session handling, and transport security.
Firmware, update mechanisms, device interfaces, protocols, and device-to-cloud integrations.
Physical interfaces, debug access, storage extraction, and embedded security controls.
Wireless access, rogue access points, encryption controls, and network segmentation.
Authorized phishing and pretexting scenarios that test human processes, reporting, and escalation.
Operator-led assessment
Some weaknesses only become clear when you connect an application, an identity, and the infrastructure behind them. We build and adapt the tooling the assessment needs.
Our operators connect weaknesses across systems. Automation supports coverage; manual investigation tests business logic, identity abuse, and the paths between findings.
Purpose-built devices simulate an internal foothold under agreed rules of engagement. Test physical-to-network access, segmentation, egress, and defensive visibility.
We build OSINT collection and enrichment tooling to map asset and identity exposure, connect infrastructure relationships, and inform the assessment scenario.
Physical access, social engineering, and onsite devices are used only when explicitly included in the rules of engagement.
How we work
Agree on objectives, systems, access, exclusions, and rules of engagement. Establish testing windows, escalation contacts, and stop conditions before work begins.
Outcome: Agreed scope and test plan.
Validate weaknesses, follow the paths between them, and capture evidence. Share findings during the engagement and escalate critical risks through the agreed contacts.
Outcome: Validated findings and evidence.
Walk through technical findings and business impact with your team. Prioritize fixes and define the retest scope, timing, and criteria for checking remediation.
Outcome: Remediation and retest plan.
What you receive
Technical depth for the people making the fixes. Business context for the people making the decisions.

Before we begin
Start with the systems in scope, the question you need answered, and your operational constraints.
Scope an engagementKeep credentials and sensitive technical details out of the initial web inquiry.
Active incident? Get response supportA pentest examines a defined set of systems for exploitable weaknesses. A red team engagement works toward an agreed objective and also examines detection and response. If the question is how far an attacker could move after gaining access, an assumed-breach assessment may be the right starting point.
No. Scanning can support discovery and coverage, but the assessment includes manual validation, business-logic testing, and investigation of connected weaknesses. The report distinguishes validated findings from limitations and untested areas.
We agree on the environment, permitted techniques, testing windows, and stop conditions during scoping. Production testing needs explicit authorization and operational coordination. Activities outside the agreed scope are not performed without approval.
Timing depends on the number and complexity of systems, access requirements, objectives, and permitted testing windows. We establish the schedule during scoping rather than assigning the same duration to every assessment.
Retest coverage, timing, and any additional work are defined in the engagement scope. We establish validation criteria with your team so remediation can be checked against the original findings.
Describe the systems you want tested, the reason for the assessment, and any deadline or operating constraints. Keep credentials, sensitive architecture, and vulnerability details out of the initial web inquiry. We can arrange the appropriate way to exchange scoping material.
