Scoping & Threat Model
Target enumeration, architecture review, Rules of Engagement (RoE), and compliance timeline alignment (SOC 2, PCI DSS).
Adversary Emulation
Hands-on manual testing targeting web/API logic, Active Directory and Entra ID privilege escalation, and lateral movement paths.
Audit Deliverables
Executive summaries for enterprise procurement, CVSS v4.0 metrics for external auditors, and reproducible proof-of-concept steps.
Retest & Attestation
Complimentary 90-day verification retest for Critical and High findings, issuing an official Penetration Test Attestation letter.
Attack Surface Discovery
Continuous discovery and mapping of public IPs, cloud endpoints, and DNS records to establish complete perimeter visibility.
Regulatory Cadence
Systematic quarterly scanning for PCI DSS v4.0 Requirement 11.3 and recurring HIPAA technical security evaluations.
Human Verification
Offensive operator verification filtering out false positives and prioritizing vulnerabilities using CISA KEV and EPSS metrics.
Compliance Evidence
Audit-ready scan packages formatted for regulatory auditors and underwriter submissions, including month-over-month remediation delta tracking.
Underwriting Audit
Gap analysis auditing mandatory cyber insurance requirements: phishing-resistant MFA, Tiered Administration, and backup immutability.
EDR & Control Efficacy
Adversarial testing of endpoint detection agents, tamper-resistance, and automated network isolation capabilities.
Purple Team Advisory
Collaborative engineering partnering directly with your IT team to design and deploy GPOs, Intune profiles, and architectural fixes.
Live Retest & Closure
Live exploit validation confirming attack path severance, accompanied by formal attestation letters for underwriters and leadership.
Core Security Practices
Specialized offensive testing, continuous vulnerability oversight, and infrastructure advisory engineered to resolve compliance roadblocks and pass cyber insurance audits.
Web Application & API Penetration Testing
In-depth manual security testing for web apps, microservices, and REST/GraphQL APIs backed by Burp Suite Certified Practitioner credentials to clear SOC 2 audits and enterprise vendor questionnaires.
Scope Web Application & API Testing →Internal Network & Assume-Breach Assessment
Assumed breach adversary emulation validating Active Directory, hybrid Azure/Entra ID, internal network segmentation, and EDR containment to pass strict cyber insurance audits.
Scope Internal Assume-Breach Testing →External Network Penetration Testing
Comprehensive adversary testing of internet-facing perimeter infrastructure, VPN gateways, and cloud endpoints to fulfill PCI DSS 4.0 Requirement 11.4 and satisfy enterprise vendor due diligence.
Scope External Network Testing →Azure & Cloud Identity Penetration Testing
Specialized adversary emulation targeting Microsoft Azure and Entra ID (formerly Azure AD). Backed by CARTP and CARTE credentials, we validate Conditional Access policies, application permissions, and hybrid-identity attack paths to prevent cloud-native breaches.
Scope Azure & Cloud Testing →Regulatory Compliance Scanning
Human-verified internal and external vulnerability scanning engineered to fulfill mandatory quarterly PCI DSS 4.0 and HIPAA compliance requirements without false positive fatigue.
Set Up Compliance Scanning →Continuous External Attack Surface Monitoring
Continuous 24/7 external attack surface management (EASM) detecting newly exposed panels, accidental cloud exposures, and zero-day vulnerabilities between annual audits.
Start Continuous Monitoring →Ransomware Readiness & Cyber Insurance Assessment
Infrastructure-level advisory evaluating phishing-resistant MFA, Active Directory tiering, EDR coverage, and immutable backups to prevent coverage denials and premium spikes during insurance renewals.
Scope Ransomware Readiness Review →Purple Team Remediation & Engineering Advisory
Hands-on collaborative engineering partnering with your internal IT team to architect, implement, and validate fixes for complex vulnerabilities uncovered during audits and penetration tests.
Engage Purple Team Remediation →Engineered for Mandatory Compliance & Insurance Underwriting Mandates
We bridge the gap between technical offensive testing and executive compliance requirements, delivering evidence packages formatted specifically for auditors and underwriters.
