Methodology
Six steps from scoping to sign-off
01
Scoping & Threat Model
We document assets, user roles, abuse cases, data classifications, and the framework you report against. Output: signed SoW, no surprise change-orders.
02
Reconnaissance & Mapping
Attack-surface enumeration: subdomains, services, exposed endpoints, third-party integrations, leaked credentials, OSINT.
03
Vulnerability Discovery
Hybrid automated + manual probing across OWASP / MASVS / API Top 10 / MITRE ATT&CK. Findings triaged for false positives before exploitation.
04
Exploitation & Lateral Movement
Hands-on exploitation by OSCP-led engineers. Chain weaknesses to demonstrate the business impact a real attacker would achieve.
05
Reporting & Board Brief
Two artefacts: a board-ready brief in business language and a technical report mapped to OWASP, CWE, MITRE ATT&CK + your compliance framework.
06
Retest & Sign-off
One free retest included. Updated report reflecting closed findings, signed off by the testing lead.
