For CTOs and engineering leaders (applications and products); CISOs and IT leaders (networks and cloud)

Talk to us about thisHow it works
You receiveRules of engagement document · Agreed scope and testing windows · Test report with prioritized, reproducible findings and remediation guidance
What we need from youWritten authorization, a technical contact, agreed windows, authorization from any third-party hosting provider, and any test accounts needed.
Timing and scopeEnd to end: scoping, testing, reporting and readout, with timing confirmed in the proposal. Testing starts only after written authorization and windows are agreed.

We test the applications, networks or cloud environments you agree in scope, manually as well as with tools, inside written rules of engagement and agreed testing windows around your release cadence. Findings are written so a developer can reproduce and fix them, with remediation guidance and an executive summary for leadership. After you remediate, we retest, and we can provide an attestation letter, as scoped, stating what was tested and when, that your sales team can share with customers. It is end to end.

Good to know

Questions leaders ask

Will testing disrupt production?

Testing runs inside explicit rules of engagement and agreed windows, around your release cadence. Nothing starts until written authorization and windows are agreed.

Can our sales team share the results with customers?

An attestation letter can be included for that purpose, stating what was tested and when, as scoped.

How long does it take?

It depends on what is in scope. Timing for scoping, testing, reporting and readout is confirmed in the proposal, and if your deadline is tight we will say so plainly rather than promise a compressed timeline.

How is this different from a vulnerability scan?

A vulnerability scan is automated checking for known weaknesses. A penetration test is authorized, manual and tool-assisted testing that tries to exploit weaknesses so they can be fixed, with findings written so your team can act on them.

Our customer just needs a letter. Can you help?

When that is genuinely what your customer needs, we scope the minimum credible work behind it. The letter can only state what was actually tested or reviewed.

What do you need from us?

Written authorization, a technical contact, agreed windows, authorization from any third-party hosting provider, and any test accounts needed.
