Define the systems, roles, and outcomes.
Scope with intent
Agree the assets and environments, permitted techniques, exclusions, timeline, and communication contacts.
OutcomeA written scope and rules of engagement.
Our process / From scope to retest
A clear path to
stronger security.
Know what happens before, during, and after an assessment. The details are tailored to your environment and agreed scope.
Plan your assessment ↗Make the assessment representative.
Prepare the access
Provide scoped test accounts, build files, documentation, or read-only repository access as appropriate. Confirm the escalation route before testing.
OutcomeAn agreed access checklist and assessment window.
Connect weaknesses to realistic impact.
Investigate and validate
Combine manual investigation with targeted tools. Validate evidence within the authorized scope and discuss urgent findings through the agreed channel.
OutcomeDocumented observations and validated findings.
Turn technical evidence into priorities.
Explain what matters
Review the findings, affected assets, prerequisites, and limitations. Explain remediation options and the reasoning behind each risk rating.
OutcomeAn executive summary and technical report.
Close the loop on remediation.
Verify the improvements
Agree which fixes to retest and when. Validate the original issue and relevant adjacent paths, documenting remaining limitations or residual risk.
OutcomeA retest status for the agreed findings.
Before we start
Good questions.
Clear expectations.
Do you need access to source code?
Source code audits require a scoped repository snapshot. Other assessments may use test accounts, binaries, API documentation, or network access. Access is agreed for the selected service.
Can we combine multiple audit services?
Yes. A combined scope can cover application interfaces, APIs, container configuration, and underlying infrastructure, with clear boundaries for each.
How are assessment findings shared?
Reporting format, recipients, and an appropriate transfer method are agreed before work begins. Public sample reports use fictional data and show the reporting structure only.
Is retesting included automatically?
Retest scope, timing, and commercial terms are agreed for the engagement. A retest records the status of the findings checked; it does not certify that the whole system is vulnerability-free.
