Methodology

Six steps from scoping to sign-off

  1. 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.

  2. 02

    Reconnaissance & Mapping

    Attack-surface enumeration: subdomains, services, exposed endpoints, third-party integrations, leaked credentials, OSINT.

  3. 03

    Vulnerability Discovery

    Hybrid automated + manual probing across OWASP / MASVS / API Top 10 / MITRE ATT&CK. Findings triaged for false positives before exploitation.

  4. 04

    Exploitation & Lateral Movement

    Hands-on exploitation by OSCP-led engineers. Chain weaknesses to demonstrate the business impact a real attacker would achieve.

  5. 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.

  6. 06

    Retest & Sign-off

    One free retest included. Updated report reflecting closed findings, signed off by the testing lead.
