Our Testing Methodology
Industry-standard frameworks combined with hands-on expertise to deliver thorough, reliable security assessments.
Four-Phase Approach
Our methodology combines OWASP Testing Guide, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115 with years of real-world experience.
Planning & Scoping
Define scope, rules of engagement, and testing objectives. Establish communication channels, emergency procedures, and success criteria. Inventory assets and develop a threat model specific to your business.
Information Gathering
Systematic reconnaissance using OSINT, network scanning, and service enumeration to map your complete attack surface. Technology fingerprinting and DNS analysis to identify entry points and potential weaknesses.
Vulnerability Assessment & Exploitation
Deep manual testing for OWASP Top 10, business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, and complex attack chains. Every finding is safely verified with proof-of-concept demonstrations. No false positives. Only real, exploitable vulnerabilities.
Reporting & Remediation
Comprehensive documentation with executive summary, technical findings ranked by risk, proof-of-concept evidence, and step-by-step remediation guidance. Ongoing support during remediation and optional retesting to verify fixes.
Why Our Approach Works
100% Manual Verification
Every vulnerability is manually verified. No false positives, no automated noise. Real findings with real impact that your development team can act on immediately.
Business Context
We understand how vulnerabilities translate to business risk and prioritize findings based on actual exploitability and impact to your operations.
Safe Testing
Our methodology ensures zero disruption to your production environment. We use controlled exploitation techniques with pre-agreed boundaries.
Clear Communication
Regular status updates, immediate notification of critical findings, and a dedicated point of contact throughout the entire engagement.
Frameworks We Follow
