Penetration Testing
Security testing for regular and irregular things.
Our Product and Service security testing services offer a flexible and tailored evaluation of heterogeneous offerings and mixed environments. The engagement can address specific areas and technology stacks, like a product you intend to buy, or include a comprehensive analyses of complex hybrid products and infrastructure.
Who Is This For?
You are someone looking for an external security person or persons to help you validate, improve or audit something: You want something done that is a mix of several different services or something that does not have a category or service offering with most vendors. Our team has both wide and deep technical knowledge and experience from testing different technologies along with a tried-and-true methodology for working with complex systems using in-house built protocols, old legacy systems or other hurdles that put up a challenge for less experienced consultants.
Key Focus Areas
While every engagement is unique, there are some common focus area that can help you choose how to get the most value out of an engagement. Our consultants will help you decide from the very early stages of the project.
Configuration & Hardening
Identify configuration vulnerabilities, exposed services, insecure defaults, and deviations from security best practices that could lead to data breaches or service disruption.
Identity & Access Management
Evaluate access groups for both human and software agents to identify overly privileged entities and strengthen access controls.
Data Security
Verify data access protection, encryption for data at rest and in transit, key management, backup strategies, and lifecycle protection for sensitive information.
Network Segmentation
Analyze network filtering, policies, and segmentation to ensure proper isolation of resources and minimize lateral movement risks.
Examples of Assessments
Here are some examples of past assessments and how our security testing services can be applied to meet diverse needs:
-
Product Security: Comprehensive testing of web, cloud, mobile and desktop applications, their interactions with each other, supporting infrastructure and security controls. This includes SaaS offering assessments — full stack security testing of software as a service solutions to ensure proper implementation of security controls throughout the service. We can provide snapshot testing before major releases or before putting a new system into production to identify security issues before deployment, as well as scheduled yearly or bi-yearly penetration testing of critical systems to maintain ongoing security assurance and meet compliance requirements.
-
Procurement Security: Security testing of products or services your company is considering adopting to ensure security meets your requirements before making purchase decisions. This helps evaluate different alternatives and select the option with the most appropriate security posture.
-
Acquisition Security: Testing the security of software or infrastructure of a company before, during or after acquisition to verify that security is at the expected level. This provides a priority list of issues to address before merging computer systems.
-
Cloud Security: Security assessment of environments on any cloud provider (AWS, Azure, GCP, OpenStack) or self-hosted solutions. Our cloud-native security expertise covers hybrid and multi-cloud setups, ensuring your entire cloud ecosystem is properly secured.
-
Security of Matrix deployments: Complete Matrix.org pentesting including homeserver configuration, federation settings, client configuration, and security assessment of bridges, widgets and bots to ensure your encrypted communications remain secure.
-
Mainframe Security: Specialized security assessments for mainframe systems and applications, addressing the unique security challenges of these environments. See our dedicated offering page offering page for more details.
-
Infrastructure as Code Security: Deep examination of your DevOps pipeline and infrastructure as code implementations to help you achieve the highest levels of security throughout your deployment process.
-
Other Security Services: While we have dedicated pages covering specific assessment types, our security expertise extends beyond standard offerings. Our team has successfully adapted our methodologies to test specialized systems, emerging technologies, and unique implementations that don’t fit conventional categories.
Testing With Flexibility
Instead of fitting your buiness needs into a box we use our experience to put a box around your buinesss needs to ensuring that the threat scenarios align with your organization’s specific environment, security concerns, and industry requirements. Unlike generic assessments, we take your infrastructure, operational priorities, and attack surface into account to provide the best value for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our process begins with an initial consultation to understand your specific requirements and environment. We then conduct a thorough assessment, throughout the engagement, we provide regular updates and insights to keep you informed of progress and findings. After the project is finished, we deliver a detailed report with all findings and actionable recommendations to help you improve your security posture.
The timeline of each assignment varies based on the complexity of your environment and the scope of the engagement. For typical smaller or mid size projects, you can expect a timeline from start to finish of 2-4 weeks. More complex environments or technologies may require additional time. During our initial consultation, we'll provide a more specific timelines based on your requirements and budget.
We design our services to minimize disruption to your business operations. We always try to work closely with your staff to know if we disrupt anything and to be smart about what features we avoid testing in production to further reduce any potential impact. For most services, your users and staff will experience no disruption during the testing process.
