Approach
Methodology over
marketing.
We don't run automated scanners and call it a pentest. Every engagement is manual, methodical, and tailored to your specific threat model. Our reports give you actionable findings with clear reproduction steps and realistic remediation guidance.
01
Scoped to your threats
We map your actual attack surface and prioritize testing based on your risk profile, not a generic checklist.
02
Manual, not automated
Scanners find the obvious. We find what matters. Every test includes manual exploitation attempts by experienced operators.
03
Actionable deliverables
Reports include reproduction steps, root cause analysis, and prioritized remediation guidance your team can act on.
FAQ
Common questions
What industries do you work with?
We work exclusively with financial services - banks, fintechs, cryptocurrency exchanges, payment processors, asset managers, and trading platforms. This focus means we understand the regulatory landscape (PCI-DSS, SOC2, SWIFT CSP) and threat actors targeting your sector.
How long does a penetration test take?
Typical engagements run 2-4 weeks depending on scope. A focused web application test might take a week, while a full red team engagement with multiple attack vectors could run 4-6 weeks. We scope based on your actual environment, not arbitrary timelines.
Do you provide remediation support?
Yes. Our reports include detailed remediation guidance with code examples where applicable. We also offer follow-up calls to walk your dev team through findings, and retest engagements to verify fixes are effective.
Can you help with an active incident?
Absolutely. We provide incident response for financial sector breaches - containment, forensic investigation, and recovery support. Email with "URGENT" in the subject line for priority response on active incidents.
What's included in a typical report?
Executive summary, detailed technical findings with CVSS scores, step-by-step reproduction instructions, root cause analysis, and prioritized remediation recommendations. We don't pad reports with scanner output - every finding is manually verified.
Do you offer retainer arrangements?
Yes. Many clients prefer ongoing relationships with scheduled quarterly assessments and priority incident response. We also offer annual programs that include continuous monitoring and ad-hoc testing as your environment evolves.
