Deliverables That Matter
Comprehensive
Assessment Report
Every vulnerability documented with real-world attack scenarios, step-by-step reproduction instructions, and actionable remediation strategies tailored to your environment.
Export & Integrations
Unlimited
Retesting
Found an issue with your fix? Need additional validation? Request retesting as many times as needed within one year of your initial assessment—at no additional cost.
How It Works
Submit a retest request through the platform → We verify your fix → Updated status in your dashboard
Testing Approaches
BlackBox Pentesting
External attack simulation with zero prior knowledge. Surface vulnerability exploration without internal access.
GreyBox Pentesting
Hybrid approach with partial system knowledge. Insider threat simulation through limited access vectors.
WhiteBox Pentesting
Full transparency testing with complete access. Deep vulnerability discovery through code analysis.
Continuous Security Testing
Annual penetration tests leave 10+ months of unmonitored code changes. Our continuous model integrates security testing into your development lifecycle.
Annual Pentesting
Vulnerabilities accumulate throughout the year, only to be discovered during the next audit cycle.
Continuous Pentesting
Every change is tested. Vulnerabilities are caught and fixed before they reach production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the most common questions about our penetration testing services and security expertise.
What's the difference between one-time and continuous pentesting?
A one-time pentest gives you a snapshot of your security at a specific point in time. Continuous pentesting is an ongoing partnership designed for teams that ship frequently:
- Biannual Deep Dives: Two full-scope penetration tests per year, plus targeted testing whenever you release new features or APIs
- SDLC Integration: Security validation during development—not months after code hits production
- Attack Surface Monitoring: Automated scans and change detection to catch new exposures as they appear
With continuous testing, vulnerabilities are found in days—not discovered during next year's audit.
How does onboarding work for continuous pentesting?
We get you covered in three phases:
- Baseline Assessment: A full penetration test to map your current security posture and identify critical issues
- Remediation Sprint: We work alongside your developers to fix high-priority vulnerabilities and verify patches
- Continuous Coverage: Ongoing testing integrated into your release cycle, with a dedicated Slack channel for on-demand requests
Most teams reach a strong security baseline within the first month.
What do I receive after a penetration test?
Every engagement includes:
- Technical Report: Each vulnerability documented with CVSS severity, proof-of-concept, attack chain context, and reproduction steps
- Remediation Playbook: Developer-ready fix instructions prioritized by risk and estimated effort
- Executive Summary: Business-impact analysis with risk heatmaps for leadership and board presentations
- Real-Time Dashboard: Live access to findings as we discover them—no waiting weeks for a PDF
- Attestation Letter: Compliance-ready documentation for audits and customer security questionnaires
Reports export to PDF, Jira, GitHub, GitLab, Linear, and Asana.
What methodologies and frameworks do you follow?
We don't just run scanners—we manually test for logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and issues automated tools miss. Our methodology is built on:
- Testing Standards: OWASP Testing Guide v5, OWASP ASVS 4.0, OSSTMM, and NIST SP 800-115
- Threat Modeling: STRIDE for architecture review, MITRE ATT&CK for realistic attack simulation
- Compliance Mapping: Findings mapped to ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and HIPAA requirements
This means your report speaks the language auditors and compliance teams expect.
Do you help fix vulnerabilities, or just report them?
We don't throw a report over the wall and disappear. Our remediation support includes:
- Fix Guidance: Code-level recommendations tailored to your stack—not generic OWASP links
- Unlimited Retesting: Fixed something? We verify it's actually fixed—included for 12 months at no extra cost
- Developer Support: Direct access to our team via Slack or scheduled calls to walk through complex vulnerabilities
We're not done until you're secure.
Who performs the testing?
Every test is performed by our in-house security team—we don't outsource or use crowd-sourced testers:
- Certified Professionals: OSCP, OSWE, GXPN, CRTO, and CISSP holders
- Bug Bounty Experience: Our team has responsibly disclosed vulnerabilities to major tech companies
- Continuous Learning: Regular internal red team exercises and research on emerging attack techniques
You'll know exactly who has access to your systems.
Why don't you use crowd-sourced testers?
Crowd-sourced platforms work for some use cases, but they're not ideal for comprehensive security assessments:
- Systematic Coverage: Crowd testers chase quick wins and bounties; we test methodically to ensure nothing is missed
- Confidentiality: Your codebase and infrastructure stay with a small, vetted, NDA-bound team—not hundreds of anonymous researchers
- Accountability: One team owns your security relationship, with direct communication and clear audit trails
Quality and consistency over volume.
What's the risk of only testing once a year?
Annual pentests leave a 10-12 month blind spot. During that time:
- Your team ships dozens of features and code changes
- New CVEs emerge in your dependencies
- Infrastructure configurations drift from secure baselines
- Attackers actively scan for the vulnerabilities you haven't found yet
Our continuous model closes this window—issues are caught within days of introduction, not discovered during the next compliance cycle.
