Security testing that holds up to an auditor and helps your engineers ship.
Manual, exploit-driven assessments of web apps, APIs, cloud environments and internal networks. Fixed price. Audit-ready reports. Free remediation retest.
What we test
Six practice areas. Most engagements combine two or three, scoped to where a compromise would actually cost you.
Web application penetration testing
Authenticated testing across every user role. Broken access control, cross-tenant authorization, business logic flaws no scanner can reach.
3clouds
AWS, Azure, Google Cloud — IAM, storage, metadata, workload escalation.
Cloud testingAPIs
Object-level authorization, token scope, mass assignment, the endpoints your partners call for you.
API testingNetworks
External perimeter and internal Active Directory. Credential paths, lateral movement, segmentation under pressure.
Network testingMobile apps
iOS and Android against OWASP MASVS. Local storage, pinning, and the backend once client controls are bypassed.
Mobile testingRed teaming
Goal-based simulation. Testing whether your detection and response catch the attempt in time.
Red teamingFindings your engineers can fix and your auditor accepts.
Every finding is reproducible without our help, scored in the context of your environment, and tied to the control it defeats.
- Reproduction steps, not screenshotsEngineers can verify a finding in minutes, not chase what they saw.
- CVSS v3.1 with contextBase score plus what it means in your environment.
- Mapped to the controlSOC 2, PCI, NIST, HIPAA — whatever your assessor is holding.
- Executive summary a board can readWithout translating it first.
| Ref | Finding | Severity | CVSS |
|---|---|---|---|
| F·01 | IDOR exposes cross-tenant records | Critical | 9.1 |
| F·02 | Over-privileged service account | High | 8.2 |
| F·03 | Segmentation bypass to CDE | High | 7.5 |
| F·04 | Session persists post-reset | Medium | 5.4 |
| F·05 | Verbose error disclosure | Low | 3.1 |
Illustrative example, not from a client engagement.
The same sequence, every engagement.
Result is defensible — not dependent on who happened to be testing that week.
Testing follows the Penetration Testing Execution Standard and NIST SP 800-115. Application work follows OWASP. Exploitation maps to MITRE ATT&CK. Automated tooling enumerates surface area; a named tester confirms every finding by hand.
One engagement. Evidence for every framework you answer to.
We scope so a single test satisfies the auditor, the enterprise customer, and the insurer — instead of three overlapping ones.
SOC 2
Independent testing evidence for CC7 and the vendor questionnaires that gate enterprise deals.
PCI DSS 4.0
Requirement 11.4 internal and external testing plus segmentation validation where you rely on it.
HIPAA
The technical half of a Security Rule risk analysis for providers, payers, and digital health.
CMMC 2.0
NIST SP 800-171 and DFARS evidence for defense contractors handling controlled unclassified information.
FedRAMP
Testing to the PMO attack vectors for cloud services pursuing federal authorization.
NIST CSF
Something measured rather than asserted to report under Identify and Protect.
ISO 27001
Annex A 8.29 verification evidence for organizations certifying to the 2022 revision.
GDPR
Article 32 regular testing of technical measures for US firms handling EU personal data.
Most reports describe what a tool noticed. Ours describe what a person got to.
The gap between a vulnerability scan and a real penetration test is not tooling. It is what happens after the tooling runs — whether a tester chains a low-severity information disclosure with a permissive service account and shows you the path that ends in your customer database.
Working across the United States
Remote as standard, on-site where scope requires it — internal network, wireless, or a physical assessment.
Common questions from buyers
What does a penetration test cost?
Price follows scope. The variables are the number of applications, cloud accounts, live hosts, and distinct user roles. We quote a fixed price after a 30-minute scoping call, usually inside an hour. That price does not move once work starts. No hourly meter, no change order for findings we did not expect.
How long does a test take?
A single web app is typically five to eight days of testing plus two days of reporting. A multi-app estate with cloud and internal network scope runs three to four weeks. Critical findings reach you the day we confirm them, so remediation can start before the final report.
Will the report satisfy our SOC 2 or PCI DSS auditor?
That is what it is built for. Every finding carries reproduction steps, evidence, CVSS v3.1 scoring, and a control mapping so an assessor can trace a requirement to the test that exercised it. PCI DSS 4.0 Requirement 11.4 expects internal and external testing plus segmentation validation where segmentation is relied on. We scope for that directly.
Is this actual testing or an automated scan?
Manual testing performed by a named tester. Automated tooling runs first to enumerate surface area. Every reported finding is confirmed by hand, and false positives are removed before you see the report. Business logic flaws, broken object-level authorization, and privilege escalation chains are what actually matter. No scanner finds those.
Do you retest after we ship fixes?
Yes. It is included in the engagement, not billed as a second one. Once your fixes ship we retest every finding and reissue the report showing the closed position.
Can you sign our vendor security questionnaire?
Yes. We complete SIG, CAIQ, and custom questionnaires and can sit on the vendor review call.

Thirty minutes on a call. We tell you which test fits, what it costs, and what you will be holding at the end of it.
