Engineering · Penetration testing

We build it.
Then we try to break it.

Software engineering and penetration testing under one roof. The people who build your product are the ones who attack it, so security is designed in from the first commit instead of bolted on at the end.

NDA before scoping · OWASP-aligned · Retest included

Illustration: a penetration test report for a fictional client, listing five findings by severity with their fix status.

One team

The people who write your code are the people who attack it.

Usually one company builds and another tests. We do both on the same engagement, so every feature is built with an attacker in mind and every finding ships with a fix.

build

  • Threat modeling before the first commit
  • Security review on every change
  • Hardened CI/CD and dependencies

break

  • Manual testing inside agreed rules
  • Findings ranked by real-world risk
  • Every fix verified by retest

Illustration: a code change that replaces a SQL query built from user input with a parameterized query, with a note that the fix was retested.

The deliverable

Findings your engineers can act on.

No raw scanner output. Every finding is verified by hand and written so the person fixing it doesn't need a meeting first.

Severity
Scored with CVSS, then weighed against what the issue means for your business.
Evidence
The exact request and response that prove the issue is real.
Reproduce
Steps your team can follow to see it for themselves.
Fix
A specific change for your stack, not a link to a generic guide.
Retest
Confirmation that the fix actually closed the issue.

Methodology

How an engagement runs.

Every test follows the same five phases, inside rules of engagement you approve in writing.

  1. 01

    Recon

    We map what's exposed: domains, hosts, services, and every entry point in scope.

    → Scope confirmed

  2. 02

    Mapping

    We learn how the application works: roles, data flows, and where the trust boundaries sit.

    → Test plan

  3. 03

    Exploitation

    We attack within the rules you approved and prove real impact without causing damage.

    → Verified findings

  4. 04

    Reporting

    Every finding with severity, evidence, reproduction steps, and a specific fix.

    → Report and debrief

  5. 05

    Retest

    Once you've fixed the issues, we test again and confirm each one is closed.

    → Fixes confirmed

Watch the engagement as it happens.

Every client gets a login. No chasing status over email.

  • Updates from the team

    Progress posted by the people doing the work, as it happens.

  • Tickets

    Ask a question and it reaches the team, not a help desk.

Working with us

Ground rules come first.

  • nda

    NDA before scoping

    We sign your NDA, or offer ours, before any technical detail changes hands.

  • roe

    Written rules of engagement

    Targets, timing, and limits are agreed in writing before testing starts. Nothing outside scope is touched.

  • retest

    Retest included

    Once you've fixed the findings, we test again and confirm each one is actually closed.

  • reports

    Two reports, two audiences

    An executive summary for leadership and full technical detail for the engineers doing the fixes.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

All questions →
How does an engagement start?

Tell us what you need through the intake assistant on the Start a project page, or the contact form if you'd rather write to us directly. We review the request, ask any clarifying questions, and come back with a scoped proposal and quote. Work starts only after you approve the scope.

What does a penetration test include?

A scoped, rules-of-engagement-bound assessment of the systems you authorize, following OWASP-aligned methodology. You receive a report with severity-rated findings, reproduction steps, an executive summary, and concrete remediation guidance — followed by a debrief call.

Do you sign NDAs?

Yes. Confidentiality is standard in this line of work. We're happy to sign your NDA before any technical details change hands, or provide our mutual NDA if you prefer.

Do you retest after we fix the findings?

Yes — retesting of remediated findings is included in vulnerability analysis and pentest engagements, so you get confirmation that fixes actually close the gap.

Can you help with compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, GDPR)?

We align our assessments and reports with the frameworks you care about, so the output is directly usable as audit evidence. We are a technical partner, not a certification body — we prepare you for audits rather than issue certificates.

Tell us what you're building.

A few questions in the intake and we come back with a scoped plan. No account needed.
