Engagement processOffense without rigor is just risk. Every engagement runs the same predictable lifecycle — so you always know what is happening, who is doing it, and what comes next.
A 30-minute call turns your concern into a testable objective. We agree the targets, timing windows, escalation contacts, and a signed authorization-to-test before a single packet is sent.
We build the same picture an attacker would: exposed assets, technologies, identities, and trust relationships. Passive first, then targeted active enumeration within scope.
Hands-on-keyboard testing. We validate every issue, then chain low-severity findings into the realistic paths a determined adversary would actually walk to your objective.
If we confirm a critical issue, you hear about it within 48 hours — never buried in a final report weeks later. You can start remediating while testing continues.
You receive a board-ready executive summary and a deep technical report with reproduction steps and fix-first remediation. We walk your team through it line by line.
Once your team has applied fixes, we re-test the remediated findings at no extra cost and issue an updated attestation suitable for auditors and customers.
Our default posture is non-disruptive. Any potentially intrusive action — denial-of-service testing, destructive payloads, mass account actions — is explicitly opt-in and scheduled inside an agreed window with a named contact on standby.
We minimize collection, prove access with the least sensitive evidence possible, and store engagement data encrypted on isolated infrastructure. All data is destroyed on a defined schedule and certified in writing.
Yes. We regularly map engagements to PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, DORA, and sector schemes such as TIBER-EU and CBEST. Tell us the framework during scoping and the report is structured to satisfy your assessor.
Named, certified operators on our staff — never anonymous offshore contractors. You will know your lead consultant before the engagement begins and can review redacted samples of their prior reporting.
