What's included in a Certbar pen test
Manual-only penetration testing by OSCP-led offensive engineers — no scanner-only output, no subcontracting. Every engagement closes with a board-ready brief, a technical report mapped to OWASP Top 10 + MITRE ATT&CK, a **SOC 2 pen test letter**, **PIPEDA** privacy-impact narrative, and a retest included.
Why Canadian security teams pick Certbar
100% manual offensive testing — OSCP-minimum staffing, zero subcontracting, zero scanner-only reports.
SOC 2 Type II audit letter included for Canadian SaaS shipping to US enterprise.
ISO 27001:2022 evidence pack accepted by Canadian auditors.
PIPEDA personal-information privacy considerations baked into every report.
OSCP / OSCE-certified engineers — global brand-name client wall (PayPal, IBM, Paytm, Kia, Meesho, Zapier, Semrush, Opera).
40–60% lower TCO than US pure-plays for the same human-led depth.
Data residency on request — reports stored in your region, signed MSA + NDA.

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.
