We Attack Your Systems
Before Bad Actors Do

Penetration testing goes beyond scanning. Our OSCP-certified ethical hackers simulate real intrusion attempts, exploit confirmed weaknesses, and deliver proof-of-impact before it costs your business.

VA vs Pentest

A VA Finds the Door.
We Walk Through It.

Vulnerability assessments report what might be exploitable. A pentest proves what is — with evidence a board can understand and a CISO can act on.

Vulnerability Assessment

Passive Discovery

Scans and enumerates potential vulnerabilities without attempting exploitation

Reports CVEs and risk scores — actual exploitability is not confirmed

Primarily automated tooling — fast but unable to chain attack paths

No evidence of what an attacker could actually access or exfiltrate

Compliance-focused: produces a findings list, not a breach narrative

Penetration Testing

Active Exploitation

Actively exploits confirmed vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world business impact

Chains multiple low-severity issues into high-impact attack paths — the way real attackers do

Manual testing by OSCP-certified engineers augmented with specialist tooling

Delivers screenshots, proof-of-concept code, and exfiltration evidence to board level

Business narrative: shows the exact cost and impact of each successful compromise

Testing Scope

Every Attack Surface, Covered

Click any surface to see exactly what we target, what we find, and what tools we deploy.

Network Infrastructure Penetration Testing ›

What We Target

Firewall rules and egress filtering gaps
Unpatched Windows / Linux services (SMB, RDP, SSH)
Default credentials on network devices
VPN and remote access misconfiguration
Internal lateral movement and privilege escalation paths

Common Findings

EternalBlue (MS17-010) on unpatched Windows hosts
BloodHound AD path to Domain Admin in <4 hops
Pass-the-hash with cached admin credentials
VLAN hopping via trunk port misconfiguration
Cleartext credentials in SNMP community strings

Web Application Penetration Testing ›

What We Target

OWASP Top 10: injection, broken auth, IDOR, XSS
Business logic flaws and access control bypasses
File upload vulnerabilities and RCE paths
JWT and session token manipulation
GraphQL and REST API security weaknesses

Common Findings

SQL injection on search and login forms
IDOR allowing access to other users' data
Stored XSS in user-generated content fields
Unrestricted file upload leading to webshell execution
Broken object-level authorisation in REST APIs

API Security Testing ›

What We Target

OWASP API Top 10 (BOLA, excessive data exposure)
OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect misconfigurations
Rate limiting and mass assignment flaws
API key and token exposure in responses
Undocumented and shadow API endpoints

Common Findings

BOLA: user A can access user B's data via ID manipulation
Missing rate limiting enabling credential stuffing
Verbose error responses leaking stack traces
JWT algorithm confusion (RS256 → HS256)
Sensitive PII returned in bulk list endpoints

Mobile Application Testing (iOS & Android) ›

What We Target

Insecure local data storage (SQLite, SharedPrefs)
Certificate pinning bypass and MITM interception
Insecure IPC (intent sniffing, exported activities)
Hardcoded credentials and API keys in binaries
Jailbreak / root detection bypass

Common Findings

Auth tokens stored in plaintext on device
API key extracted from decompiled APK/IPA
Backend APIs lack mobile-specific auth controls
Deeplink URI handling vulnerable to hijacking
Session not invalidated on logout (server-side)

Cloud Configuration Review (AWS / Azure / GCP) ›

What We Target

Publicly exposed S3 / Blob / GCS storage buckets
Overprivileged IAM roles and service accounts
Security group / firewall rules exposing internal services
Secrets in environment variables and Lambda functions
Container escape and Kubernetes RBAC misconfigurations

Common Findings

Public S3 bucket exposing PII or internal documents
EC2 metadata service accessible from application (SSRF)
Admin console exposed without MFA requirement
Cross-account role trust allowing privilege escalation
Secrets hardcoded in CloudFormation / Terraform state

Social Engineering & Phishing Simulation ›

What We Target

Employee susceptibility to spear-phishing emails
Vishing (voice phishing) resistance across departments
Physical security and tailgating controls
USB drop attack vectors in common areas
Pretexting attempts targeting IT helpdesk

Common Findings

22–35% avg click rate on spear-phishing campaign
Helpdesk reset credentials with only name verification
Admin credentials submitted on cloned portal in 4 minutes
Plugged USB drops executed payload in 8 of 10 trials
Zero physical challenge attempts during red team visit

Attack Methodology

How Our Red Team Operates

Every engagement follows the PTES standard augmented with MITRE ATT&CK mapping. Each phase delivers a concrete artefact before moving to the next.

Reconnaissance

Passive OSINT: DNS, certificates, LinkedIn
Leaked credentials via HIBP and dark web
Technology stack fingerprinting
Shadow IT and exposed asset discovery

Deliverable: Attack Surface Map

Scanning & Enumeration

Port and service version scanning
Web application crawling and spidering
Vulnerability identification and CVE mapping
Prioritised exploitability assessment

Deliverable: Vulnerability Register + CVSS

Exploitation

Manual exploitation of confirmed vulns
Chaining low-severity issues into RCE/domain compromise
Screenshot and PoC code capture
Business impact quantification per finding

Deliverable: Proof-of-Concept Evidence

Post-Exploitation

Privilege escalation to SYSTEM / root / DA
Lateral movement across network segments
Data exfiltration simulation (crown jewels)
Persistence mechanism demonstration

Deliverable: Full Compromise Narrative

Reporting

Executive summary for board and C-suite
Technical findings with CVSS + MITRE mapping
Remediation guidance with code-level fixes
Compliance control cross-reference

Deliverable: Dual-audience Pentest Report

What You Receive

Everything Included in Every Engagement

No hidden add-ons, no surprise scoping fees. Every pentest engagement includes these six deliverables as standard.

Dual-Audience Report

Executive summary for the board (risk narrative, business impact, cost of compromise) plus full technical findings for your security team with CVSS scores and step-by-step reproduction.

Remediation Playbook

Prioritised fix guidance for every finding — including code-level recommendations, configuration changes, and vendor patch references. Not just "what's broken" but exactly how to fix it.

Free Re-test (30 Days)

After you remediate, we retest all critical and high findings at no extra cost and issue a remediation-confirmed certificate for audit and compliance purposes.

Compliance Mapping

Findings cross-referenced against ISO 27001, PCI DSS, Cyber Essentials, GDPR, and HIPAA control frameworks — so your report doubles as audit evidence.
