Penetration Testing

Offensive Security Services

Comprehensive
Penetration Testing

Nine-phase adversarial assessments across every layer of your environment – from perimeter networks and cloud workloads to AI models and medical devices – fully mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP, and your compliance framework.

Assessment Types

The Right Depth for Every Scenario

Five core methodology tiers and seven team-color engagement modes ensure every assessment matches your exact threat model and objectives.

Blackbox Assessment

Zero prior knowledge. Simulates a fully external attacker with no credentials or architecture information. Covers passive reconnaissance, open-source intelligence, active scanning, service enumeration, vulnerability exploitation, privilege escalation, lateral movement, persistence, and data exfiltration – the complete nine-phase kill chain.

Greybox Assessment

Initiated with a set of compromised or low-privilege credentials, simulating a post-breach insider or phished employee. Focuses on lateral movement paths, privilege escalation chains, credential dumping, defense evasion, and Active Directory domain compromise.

Whitebox Assessment

Full access to source code, architecture diagrams, and configuration files. Combines static application security testing (SAST), infrastructure-as-code scanning (Checkov, Trivy), secrets detection (TruffleHog, Gitleaks), dependency analysis against OSV.dev CVEs, and architecture review for the deepest possible coverage.

Crystal Box Assessment

Developer-level access including compiled binaries and runtime debuggers. Covers binary analysis, memory safety validation, cryptography implementation review, fuzzing, exploit development, and zero-day discovery for organizations requiring the highest assurance level.

Red Team Operation

Full adversarial simulation against your people, processes, and technology simultaneously. Active Directory and Kerberos attacks, cloud infrastructure exploitation, web application compromise, physical security challenges, and social engineering campaigns – measured against your detection and response capability.

Purple Team Exercise

Red and blue teams operate jointly. Attack techniques are executed in real time while detection engineers validate SIEM rules, EDR coverage, and response playbooks. Produces a MITRE ATT&CK technique coverage matrix with direct attack-versus-detection correlation for every tactic tested.

Attack Surface Coverage

22+ Target Types Across Every Environment

Every assessment surface is covered by dedicated testing modules with purpose-built toolchains and vulnerability category mappings.

Web and API Applications

Full OWASP Top 10 coverage for web applications, REST APIs, GraphQL (introspection attacks, batching DoS, resolver injection), SOAP, and microservices. Includes all 23+ CWE categories: SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, XXE, path traversal, insecure deserialization, BOLA/BFLA, and more.

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS, Azure, and GCP environments assessed for IAM misconfiguration, overprivileged roles, public storage bucket exposure, serverless function security, metadata service (IMDS) exploitation, Kubernetes RBAC escalation, container escape, and secrets extraction from cluster namespaces.

Active Directory and Identity

Kerberoasting, AS-REP roasting, NTLM relay, pass-the-hash, pass-the-ticket, Golden Ticket and Silver Ticket attacks, AD Certificate Services exploitation, LSASS and NTDS.dit credential dumping, BloodHound attack path analysis, and domain controller enumeration.

Mobile Applications

iOS and Android application assessments covering insecure data storage, improper authentication, broken cryptography, client-side injection, dynamic runtime analysis, binary protections, certificate pinning bypass, and backend API trust boundary testing.

AI and LLM Systems

Complete OWASP LLM Top 10:2025 coverage (LLM01 through LLM10): prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure, supply chain vulnerabilities, training data and model poisoning, improper output handling, excessive agency, system prompt leakage, vector and embedding weaknesses, misinformation generation, and unbounded consumption attacks.

Healthcare and Medical Devices

Clinical network zone segmentation validation, IoMT device discovery and vulnerability assessment, HL7 v2.x protocol security, FHIR R4 API testing, DICOM/PACS security testing, and PHI exposure detection – all production-safe and read-only. Compliance scored against HIPAA, ADHICS, NCA ECC, DHA NABIDH, Qatar NIA, and Saudi SHIE simultaneously.

Supply Chain and SBOM

Software Bill of Materials analysis across 10 dependency manifest formats (npm, PyPI, Maven, Go, Cargo, RubyGems, Composer, and more). CVE correlation via OSV.dev with CVSS and EPSS scoring, license risk classification, end-of-life package detection, and unpinned dependency identification.

Low-Code and No-Code Platforms

Dedicated assessment modules for Microsoft Power Platform, Mendix, OutSystems, Appian, Salesforce, and ServiceNow against the OWASP LCNC Top 10 – including multi-tenant isolation testing, shared connection abuse, and service account impersonation attacks.

Ransomware Resilience Simulation

Production-safe, isolated kill-chain simulations of LockBit 3.0, Conti, Maze, and BlackCat/ALPHV ransomware families. Tests detection coverage at every phase: initial access, privilege escalation, lateral movement, discovery, data exfiltration, and encryption – without touching production data.

Our Process

A Nine-Phase Methodology. No Shortcuts.

Every engagement follows a deterministic workflow from authorization through verified remediation. Autonomous tooling handles orchestration – our analysts focus on context, interpretation, and what the tools miss.

  1. Authorization and Scoping

    Targets, boundaries, methodology, and approval tier confirmed. High-risk techniques require senior sign-off before execution begins.

  2. Reconnaissance

    Passive and active intelligence gathering: DNS enumeration, port scanning, service fingerprinting, SSL/TLS analysis, subdomain enumeration, and technology stack detection.

  3. Attack Planning

    Tool and technique selection based on discovered attack surface, MITRE ATT&CK coverage goals, team type, and methodology constraints. Plan documented before execution begins.

  4. Execution

    Attack modules run against confirmed targets. A MITRE ATT&CK concordance gate enforces minimum technique coverage – if not met, the plan adapts and retries rather than under-delivering.

  5. Threat Intelligence Enrichment

    Every finding automatically enriched via IP reputation, malware analysis, and CVE intelligence databases. Confidence scores updated with real-world threat context.

  6. Analysis and Risk Aggregation

    Individual findings correlated into attack chains. Historical finding embeddings from 17,000+ prior assessments queried semantically to surface similar past vulnerabilities and proven remediations.

  7. Verification

    False positives eliminated through retesting. Every finding receives a confidence score before inclusion in the report.

  8. Reporting

    Professional PDF report rendered with executive summary, per-finding technical detail, CVSS v4.0 scores, MITRE ATT&CK coverage matrix, compliance control mapping, and a prioritized remediation roadmap.

  9. Remediation Tracking

    Finding lifecycle tracked through open, in progress, pending approval, verified, and overdue states – with SLA enforcement per severity, owner assignment, and Jira integration for your existing workflow.

Autonomous Assessment Engine

The Platform Executes. Our Analysts Focus on What Machines Miss.

The engine selects tools from an 87-integration library, orchestrates them across a nine-phase workflow, enforces MITRE ATT&CK technique coverage at a dedicated concordance gate, and retries automatically when thresholds are not met — without waiting for human instruction at each step.

Tool Selection is Automated

The platform evaluates the discovered attack surface, the active methodology, and the current phase to select and chain the right tools. Nmap findings feed into Nuclei. Service banners route to the appropriate exploitation module. No manual handoff between tools, no context lost between steps.

Coverage is Enforced, Not Estimated

A MITRE ATT&CK concordance gate validates technique coverage before the execution phase advances. If the threshold is not met, the engine replans and retries with different tooling. Engagements do not close with coverage gaps — the platform does not allow it.

Every Finding Matched Against History

At analysis time, each finding is matched against 17,000+ prior assessment results via semantic vector search. Similar past vulnerabilities surface the remediations that worked, the recurrence rate, and the compliance controls they mapped to in comparable environments.

Standards Alignment

One Finding. Every Auditor’s Checklist. Automatically.

Every finding is enriched in a single pipeline pass — CVSS v4.0, EPSS, CWE, MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP, and every applicable compliance control tagged before the report is generated. Select a category below to see exactly what gets attached.
