Scope
A scoping call with us, not a salesperson. We agree targets, constraints, and timelines, and you get a fixed, transparent quote.
Services
Offensive security testing, scoped to whatmatters.
A consultant tests your systems by hand. We scope tightly to your real attack surface, prove what is exploitable, and hand your engineers findings they can act on the same day. Penetration testing, red team operations, cloud infrastructure review, application security assessment: every discipline is evidenced against the frameworks your auditors already use.
External testing starts from the internet: the same vantage point as an unauthenticated attacker, a ransomware affiliate, or an opportunistic scanner. We map what your business exposes through VPNs, firewalls, remote access, mail gateways, DNS, web servers, supplier portals, and forgotten legacy systems, then prove which of those exposures actually gets someone in.
Internal testing assumes the attacker is already inside, whether from a phished user, a stolen VPN credential, a breached DMZ server, or a malicious insider. We chase how far they could move: Active Directory, identity, file shares, databases, backups, privileged accounts, and the lateral routes that turn one compromised laptop into a business-wide incident.
You get a report that tells your team what matters, why, who owns the fix, and how to verify it.
We agree a specific objective with you: reach a finance system, access customer data, bypass a control, prove a ransomware pathway. Then we try to get there, under written authorisation and agreed rules of engagement.
Scope can include open-source reconnaissance, phishing, external compromise, cloud or identity abuse, internal movement, physical access, and command-and-control simulation, run in collaboration with your defenders where useful. You see what happened, which controls fired, which alerts were missed, and where response decisions slowed down.
The result: evidence for whether your investment in detection, identity controls, segmentation, and incident response actually holds under pressure.
Attackers exploit people, not just systems: phishing, impersonation, fake invoices, credential theft, vishing, smishing, and pretexts built from LinkedIn, Companies House, and leaked credentials. We test those routes safely to see whether staff, contractors, or suppliers would approve a payment, reset an account, or hand over access.
Engagements are proportionate and agreed in advance. We measure the whole chain, not just click rates: mail filtering, user reporting, account protection, conditional access, and how fast your team contained it.
You leave with concrete fixes for training, email security, and payment or identity processes, plus evidence for auditors that human risk is being tested, not assumed.
Every business carries vulnerabilities: missing patches, unsupported software, exposed services, weak access control, forgotten systems, supplier drift. We move you from one-off scanning to a managed view, where assets are known, findings are triaged, and remediation is prioritised by real business impact.
We combine authenticated and unauthenticated scanning with manual validation and exploitability review, separating noise from what matters. Newly disclosed vulnerabilities get checked against your actual estate.
You get a prioritised remediation plan, not a raw scanner dump your team has to interpret alone.
Your web portals, APIs, admin panels, and internal tools carry your customers and your data, and most of the serious flaws in them don't show up in a scanner. We test how the application behaves under attack: can a user cross tenant boundaries, bypass access control, manipulate business logic, or abuse a forgotten function.
Scope can include web and API penetration testing, GraphQL and REST review, authenticated role testing, source-code review, threat modelling, and CI/CD pipeline testing, built around OWASP guidance and adapted to your application.
Findings ship with the affected endpoint, proof of concept, business impact, root cause, and recommended fix, so your developers can act the same day.
Most cloud risk comes from configuration and identity decisions, not software bugs: an over-permissive role, an exposed storage bucket, a weak conditional access rule, an unmonitored service account. We review AWS, Azure, GCP, Microsoft 365, Kubernetes, and CI/CD pipelines against how they're actually used, not a generic checklist.
We examine identity and access, privilege escalation paths, network exposure, storage permissions, key management, and SaaS data sharing, and where it's useful, we prove how small weaknesses chain into real compromise.
You get specific changes your engineers can make without slowing delivery, plus evidence for certifications and cyber-insurance conversations.
Some attack surfaces don't fit standard infrastructure or web application scopes: AI and LLM features, agentic workflows, IoT and embedded systems, connected products, operational technology, smart contracts. We shape the engagement around the technology.
For AI systems: prompt injection, sensitive information disclosure, excessive agency, unsafe tool use, and abuse of automated workflows. For IoT, embedded, or automotive systems: firmware review, hardware interfaces, device-to-cloud paths. For smart contracts: access control, business logic, oracle trust, and economic abuse.
You get a defensible view of what's been tested, what remains uncertain, and what controls you need before you ship.
Auditors, insurers, and procurement teams want evidence, not paperwork. We scope the work around your actual requirement, whatever standard or framework it maps to, and keep the focus on real security risk.
That means reviewing scope, testing internet gateways and internal segmentation, validating access control, assessing cloud and SaaS configuration, and mapping findings to the control language your framework expects.
The outcome: a report that shows what was tested, what was found, how severe it is, and what to fix, so compliance stops being a box-ticking exercise.
How we do it
Simple to start. Rigorous throughout.
Every engagement follows the same disciplined workflow: clear scoping, expert-led testing, and actionable reporting with ongoing support.
Test
Manual, expert-led testing using real attacker techniques. You get live communication throughout, and we raise critical findings the day we confirm them.
Report & support
A clear report with prioritised findings, proof of concept, and remediation guidance written for your team, plus support while you fix.
