Offensive Security

We run controlled tests of your systems using the methods of real attackers, so vulnerabilities are fixed before they are exploited.

§ 01Overview
Offensive Security

Offensive engagements with a clearly defined scope and rules of engagement, led by engineers with deep offensive experience. The result is documented, reproducible findings with concrete remediation guidance.

§ 02What's included

What the service covers.

Engage any item on its own, or combine them into a single engagement.
01
External network penetration testing
We assess your external perimeter: networks, services, and publicly exposed applications, from the perspective of an outside attacker.
02
Internal network penetration testing
Testing under the assumption that an attacker has already gained initial access. We establish how far they could move inside the network.
03
Red team operations
A comprehensive exercise directed at people, processes, and technology. It validates detection and response, not only preventive controls.
04
Social engineering
Phishing, vishing, and pretext campaigns that measure staff resilience against targeted attacks.
05
Physical security assessments
On-site testing of physical access controls, including badge systems and entry procedures, where relevant.
06
Adversary simulation
We emulate the tactics and techniques of the actors most likely to target your industry.
07
Attack surface management
Continuous discovery of your organization's internet-facing assets, delivered as ongoing testing (PTaaS), so exposure is identified before it is exploited.
§ 03How we approach it

A clear methodology, every time.

1
Scope and rules
Targets, exclusions, and rules of engagement are defined up front, in writing.
2
Reconnaissance and initial access
We map the attack surface and attempt to gain initial access, using the tooling and techniques of real attackers.
3
Movement and escalation
We move through the environment and escalate privileges toward the agreed objective. Critical findings are reported as soon as they are discovered.
4
Report and retest
We deliver a report with reproducible findings and remediation guidance. A retest of the fixes is included in the engagement.
§ 04What you get

Results you can act on.

Every engagement ends with documented findings and evidence, written for the technical team and for the board.
01Executive summary for the board
02Technical findings with reproducible proof-of-concept
03Remediation plan ranked by risk
04Documented attack path with evidence
05Remediation retest within 90 days

Independent and vendor-neutral. We don't resell the tools we test.

Our only product is expertise and evidence, so our advice has no agenda but yours.
Independent
Vendor-neutral. No licences to sell, no conflicts of interest.
Senior-led
Every engagement is run by senior engineers, not handed to a queue.
Evidence-led
Reproducible findings and documented proof, not severity labels.
Regulator-ready
Built to satisfy NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001, and GDPR by design.
FAQ

Questions, answered

What is the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan checks for known weaknesses automatically. In a penetration test, a senior engineer takes the role of an attacker and establishes how individual weaknesses combine into a real attack path, including business-logic flaws that automated tools do not detect.
How long does an offensive engagement take?
Most engagements run two to six weeks, depending on scope. Targets, exclusions, and rules of engagement are defined in writing before any testing begins.
Will testing affect our production systems?
We adapt the scope to your risk tolerance. Testing can be run in stages or outside business hours, and any activity that could affect availability is agreed in advance.
Do you retest after we fix the findings?
Yes. A retest within 90 days is included in the engagement and confirms that the findings have actually been remediated.
Will AI replace penetration testers?
AI and automation accelerate reconnaissance and the discovery of known vulnerabilities, and we use both on every engagement. They do not replace the engineer who chains weaknesses into a realistic attack path, evaluates business impact, and tests business logic. The strongest results come from senior engineers working with modern tooling.
