Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing (VA/PT)
Find the gap first, before somebody else does
- OWASP Top 10
- Black / Grey / White Box
- CVSS v3.1
- Proof of Concept
Our testing does not stop at an automated scan. Every finding is verified by hand, proven through controlled exploitation, then rated for risk and paired with remediation steps your engineers can act on.
What you receive
- Technical report with proof of concept evidence
- Executive summary written for management
- Risk ratings based on CVSS v3.1
- Specific, actionable remediation guidance
- Retest report as evidence that findings are closed
Why this matters now
Software ships far faster than the annual audit cycle. Every new feature, third-party integration, and configuration change can open a gap that has never been tested.
The attack surface grows with every release
API endpoints, partner integrations, and cloud services keep widening the area to defend. Testing once a year leaves a long window of exposure.
Automated scanning only catches part of it
Business logic flaws and broken access control sit at the top of the OWASP Top 10, and they generally surface only through manual testing.
A report without a retest proves nothing
Without retesting, an organisation holds a list of problems rather than evidence that they were solved.
Signs your organisation needs this
- Applications reach production without security testing
- Previous findings have not been re-verified after remediation
- A customer or regulator is asking for an independent test report
- The internal team relies solely on automated scanner output
Any one of these is reason enough to start the conversation early.
What we cover
Web Applications
Following OWASP Top 10 and ASVS, including business logic and access control.
Mobile Applications
Android and iOS: local storage, communications, hardening, reverse engineering.
APIs & Web Services
REST and GraphQL: authentication, authorisation, rate limiting, data exposure.
Network Infrastructure
Internal and external testing of devices, segmentation, and configuration.
Servers & Endpoints
Operating system hardening, patch management, and service configuration.
Cloud Environments
IAM, storage, and workload configuration on whichever cloud you run.
Clear stages, with no surprises along the way
Every stage has agreed deliverables, so progress is never in question.
- 01
Scoping
Agreeing targets, boundaries, schedule, and rules of engagement.
- 02
Reconnaissance
Information gathering and attack surface mapping.
- 03
Vulnerability Assessment
Systematic scanning plus manual verification to strip out false positives.
- 04
Exploitation
Controlled exploitation to demonstrate real-world impact.
- 05
Reporting
Technical report and executive summary with CVSS v3.1 ratings.
- 06
Retest
Re-testing to confirm the gaps are genuinely closed.
The standards and regulations we work from
Every recommendation traces back to the references below and can be verified independently.
- OWASP Top 10The most critical web application risk categories.
- OWASP ASVSThe tiered application security verification standard.
- OWASP MASVSThe reference for mobile application security testing.
- NIST SP 800-115Technical guidance for security testing and assessment.
- CVSS v3.1The scoring system for vulnerability severity.
Success indicators
Agreed upfront so the work is judged objectively rather than by impression.
- Share of critical findings closed within the deadline
- Average time to remediate from the moment a finding is reported
- Number of findings that recur between testing cycles
- Coverage of critical assets that have been tested
Terms that come up in these discussions
The vocabulary you will meet in documents, reports, and conversations with auditors.
- Vulnerability Assessment
- Identifying and ranking weaknesses broadly, combining automated scanning with manual verification.
- Penetration Testing
- Exploiting weaknesses under controlled conditions to prove the real impact they could cause.
- Black, Grey, White Box
- Three testing modes defined by how much information the tester is given, from none at all to full source code access.
- Proof of Concept
- Technical evidence that a vulnerability is genuinely exploitable, obtained without damaging production systems.
