Our Standardized Testing Approach

A transparent, repeatable methodology that ensures consistent, comprehensive security assessments every time.

The Standard Pentest Process

Our six-phase methodology ensures thorough coverage while maintaining consistency across all engagements.

01

Reconnaissance

Automated discovery of your attack surface, including domains, subdomains, exposed services, and potential entry points. We map your digital footprint comprehensively.

02

Vulnerability Assessment

Systematic scanning for known vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and security weaknesses using industry-leading tools and our proprietary automation framework.

03

Exploitation Testing

Safe, controlled testing of identified vulnerabilities to determine real-world exploitability and potential impact to your organization.

04

Analysis & Prioritization

Expert analysis of findings with risk-based prioritization. We focus on vulnerabilities that matter most to your specific business context.

05

Reporting & Documentation

Clear, actionable reports with executive summaries, technical details, and specific remediation guidance. Plus attestation letters for compliance needs.

06

Continuous Improvement

Establish a baseline for ongoing security measurement. Track progress over time and demonstrate continuous improvement to stakeholders.
