Service 01

Penetration testing & application security

We test your systems the way an attacker would, so you find the weaknesses before anyone else does. Every finding comes with guidance your engineers can act on.

What it covers

  • 01

    Penetration testing & ethical hacking

    Manual testing of web applications, APIs, internal and external networks and cloud accounts, backed by automated scanning. We try to get in, move around and reach your data the way an attacker would.

  • 02

    Application security review

    Secure code review and OWASP-based testing of web applications and APIs: authentication, access control, session handling and how the application treats the input it's given.

  • 03

    Secure coding

    Working through the findings with your developers, so the same flaws don't come back in the next release.

Frameworks & platforms we work with

Standards and platforms we work to and on. Not certifications or partner statuses.

  • OWASP
  • NIST
  • AWS
  • Azure
  • GCP

How an engagement runs

  1. 01

    Scoping

    We agree what's in scope, how we'll test it (black-box, grey-box or with credentials), the dates and the rules of engagement. You sign it off in writing before any testing starts.

  2. 02

    Testing

    We follow recognised methods such as the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and PTES. If we find something serious, we tell you at the time. It doesn't wait for the report.

  3. 03

    Reporting

    The report opens with a summary for leadership. Then each finding gets a risk rating, evidence, steps to reproduce it and how to fix it. We go through it with you on a call.

  4. 04

    Retest

    Once you've made your fixes, we test those findings again and confirm in writing which ones are closed.

What you receive

  • A written report: a summary for leadership, then technical findings rated by risk
  • Evidence and remediation guidance for each finding
  • A retest of the fixed findings, with written confirmation of what's closed
