Penetration
Testing Services
Manual security testing that identifies exploitable vulnerabilities in your web applications, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and networks, then documents exactly how to fix them.
We go beyond automated scanning to prove which vulnerabilities actually lead to data access, privilege escalation, and system compromise. You get clear evidence, prioritized findings, and remediation guidance your engineers can act on immediately.
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing (pentesting) is a methodical security assessment where we attempt to exploit vulnerabilities in your systems the same way a real attacker would but under controlled conditions with clear rules of engagement.
The difference between our pentesting and automated scanning: scanners find potential issues (hundreds of them, often false positives). Our manual + Automation + AI driven pentesting proves which issues actually matter by exploiting them and demonstrating real business impact.
You receive a detailed report showing exactly what we compromised, how we did it (with reproducible proof-of-concept steps, one click exploit script included if applicable), and prioritized remediation guidance your engineering team can use to fix issues quickly.

Why organizations invest in penetration testing
Security is not just IT concern, it is a business enabler. Penetration testing helps you close deals, satisfy auditors, and sleep better at night.
Close enterprise deals faster
Enterprise buyers send security questionnaires before signing contracts. A recent pentest report answers most of their concerns immediately and demonstrates you take security seriously. Without it, deals drag on for months while you scramble to answer questions.
Meet compliance requirements
SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA all require or strongly recommend regular security testing. A pentest provides auditable evidence that you're actively validating controls, not just checking boxes on a spreadsheet.
Prepare for acquisition due diligence
Buyers will audit your security during M&A. Finding critical vulnerabilities during their review kills valuations or blocks deals. Running a pentest beforehand lets you fix problems quietly and negotiate from a position of strength.
Prove exploitability, not just presence
Vulnerability scanners flag hundreds of potential issues. Penetration testing proves which ones actually lead to data breaches, account takeovers, or system compromise. This helps your team prioritize fixes based on real risk, not CVSS scores.
Validate security after major changes
Launched a new feature? Migrated to the cloud? Refactored authentication? A pentest confirms your changes didn't introduce exploitable weaknesses. It's cheaper to find issues before launch than after a breach.
Penetration testing services
Web Application Penetration Testing
Most common engagement type
We test web apps for authentication bypass, injection flaws (SQL, XSS, command injection), broken access control, business logic vulnerabilities, session management issues and many other web application security issues. Focus is on proving exploitability and business impact, not just flagging scanner findings.
API Security Testing
Critical for modern architectures
REST and GraphQL API testing for broken object-level authorization (BOLA), mass assignment, rate limit bypass, authentication flaws, improper input validation and many other API security issues. We test API authentication, token handling, and multi-tenant isolation to find privilege escalation paths.
Cloud Security Assessment
AWS, Azure
Evaluation of cloud identity and access management (IAM), storage misconfigurations, exposed secrets, privilege escalation paths, and insecure CI/CD pipelines. We validate that your cloud controls prevent lateral movement and data exfiltration.
Internal Network Penetration Testing
Assume compromise, test containment
Testing from an assumed-breach perspective, an attacker already has limited access. We attempt lateral movement, privilege escalation, and access to sensitive systems. This validates your network segmentation, endpoint protection, and detection capabilities.
Not sure which service you need?
During the discovery call, we'll discuss your systems, risk profile, and business priorities to recommend the right testing approach.
Talk to a HumanHow a penetration testing engagement works
From initial discovery to final debrief, here's exactly what to expect. Most engagements follow this structure.
01
Initial Contact & Discovery
First conversation to understand your immediate needs: Are you facing a customer security review? Preparing for compliance? Concerned about a specific system? We determine if penetration testing is the right solution and whether we're a good fit for each other.
Deliverable: Mutual understanding of needs and next steps
02
Scoping Call & Proposal
Detailed technical discussion about your systems, architecture, business priorities, and specific concerns. We define what's in scope, what's off-limits, testing methodology, and whether you need compliance-specific testing (PCI-DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, etc.).
Deliverable: Detailed proposal with scope, methodology, timeline, and fixed pricing
03
Contract & NDA Signing
You review and sign the Statement of Work (SOW) and Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). We clarify any questions about terms, liability, and deliverables before engagement starts.
Deliverable: Signed legal agreements and payment terms
04
Kickoff & Authorization
Pre-engagement kickoff call to align on logistics, provide necessary access (test accounts, VPN credentials, API keys, staging environments, etc if applicable), coordinate testing windows, establish communication channels (Slack, email, phone), and define escalation paths for critical findings.
Deliverable: Rules of Engagement (RoE), letter of authorization (LOA), emergency contact info, and authorized access credentials
05
Reconnaissance & Asset Discovery
We map your attack surface through reconnaissance, enumerate endpoints, identify technologies, understand application architecture, and document user roles. Just information gathering and understanding how your systems work.
Deliverable: Asset inventory, technology stack analysis, and testing roadmap
06
Vulnerability Assessment
Active vulnerability identification using automated scanning combined with manual testing. We look for injection flaws (SQL, XSS, command injection), broken authentication, insecure access control, security misconfigurations, and known CVEs. Findings are validated manually to eliminate false positives.
Deliverable: Preliminary vulnerability list with initial severity ratings
07
Manual Exploitation & Impact Analysis
We manually exploit confirmed vulnerabilities to prove real-world impact: accessing other users' data, escalating to admin privileges, bypassing authentication, extracting sensitive information, or compromising business logic. Every successful exploit is documented with detailed reproduction steps and evidence.
Deliverable: Proof-of-concept exploits, screenshots, request/response logs, and video demonstrations
08
Post-Exploitation (Advanced Engagements)
For internal network tests or red team simulations, we simulate attacker behavior after initial compromise: lateral movement across networks, privilege escalation to domain admin, persistence mechanisms, and data exfiltration paths. Tests your detection and response capabilities.
Deliverable: Attack path diagrams, kill chain analysis, and compromise timeline
09
Report Development
We compile findings into a comprehensive report with executive summary (business impact), technical vulnerability details, CVSS risk ratings, proof-of-concept evidence, affected systems, and prioritized remediation recommendations. Report goes through internal quality review before delivery.
Deliverable: Final penetration test report (PDF) with executive and technical sections
10
Findings Presentation & Debrief
Live walkthrough of findings with your technical and leadership teams. We explain vulnerabilities in business terms, demonstrate critical exploits, answer questions, clarify root causes, and help prioritize remediation based on risk and business impact.
Deliverable: Presentation recording, Q&A session, and remediation prioritization guidance
11
Remediation Support
As your team fixes vulnerabilities, we're available via Slack/email to answer implementation questions, review proposed fixes, and provide guidance on secure coding practices. We help unblock your engineers and ensure remediation is effective.
Deliverable: On-demand consultation and technical guidance
12
Remediation Verification (Retesting)
After vulnerabilities are remediated, we re-test each finding to confirm fixes are effective and no regressions were introduced. This validates that your security posture has improved and provides evidence for compliance audits.
Deliverable: Retest report with pass/fail status, residual risk assessment, and updated security attestation
