What we examine
Automated tools support discovery, but they do not replace manual analysis. The engagement focuses on realistic attack paths and validates findings before they reach your report.
Login, password reset, account recovery, MFA flows, session expiration, token handling, and protections against account takeover.
Role boundaries, tenant isolation, object-level access, workflow abuse, privilege escalation, and bypasses of intended business rules.
Inputs, APIs, file handling, browser controls, injection risks, server-side requests, and exposure of sensitive functionality.
Sensitive information in responses, errors, URLs, client-side code, exports, and access paths that could reveal another customer’s data.
What you receive
The goal is not merely to identify weaknesses. It is to help your team understand the risk, reproduce it safely, and verify that the fix works.
Risk-ranked findings with evidence, affected components, reproduction steps, business impact, and specific remediation guidance.
A live walkthrough for technical and business stakeholders, with time to discuss priorities and ask questions.
After fixes are deployed, priority findings are tested again and their status is documented in an updated report.
Source-code review, cloud configuration review, mobile applications, internal networks, social engineering, denial-of-service testing, and ongoing monitoring are not included unless specifically added to the written scope. Destructive testing and access to real customer data are avoided.
How it works
A controlled process designed to fit into a working development team without surprises.
We confirm targets, test windows, exclusions, and written authorization before testing begins.
Manual testing and careful validation uncover exploitable issues automated scans miss.
You receive evidence, business impact, and clear remediation guidance—not a scanner dump.
After your fixes, one included retest verifies that priority findings are resolved.
“Security findings only matter when your team can understand them, prioritize them, and fix them.”
