We assess your applications, networks and cloud infrastructure with authorized tests, give you a clear report for management and for your technical team, and support you while each risk is fixed.
Ethical hacking is a security assessment in which authorized specialists use the same techniques as an attacker to find vulnerabilities before someone exploits them. The difference from a real attack is authorization: everything is done with a signed scope, agreed rules of engagement and windows that do not disrupt operations.
A typical assessment includes mapping what your organization exposes to the internet, identifying vulnerabilities, attempting controlled exploitation and documenting each finding with evidence. Tests can be external, from the internet, or internal, simulating a user or a device inside your network.
At the end you receive a technical report, an executive summary for management and a remediation plan ranked by priority.

Why assess your security before an incident?
Many organizations invest in security only after suffering an attack, when the cost already includes service downtime, data recovery and reputational damage. A preventive assessment reveals the same weaknesses an attacker would look for, but in a controlled environment and with a plan to fix them.
Assessments also help meet the demands of customers, auditors and regulators, and provide evidence to justify security investments to management.
Penetration testing or vulnerability assessment: which do you need?

A vulnerability assessment reviews your systems broadly and periodically for known flaws, such as unpatched versions or weak configurations. It is fast, can be repeated monthly or quarterly and keeps a changing infrastructure under control.
A penetration test goes deeper: a specialist tries to exploit flaws and chain them together to demonstrate real impact, for example reaching a database from a web form. It takes more time and is recommended before launching an application, after major changes or at least once a year.
Many organizations combine both: periodic assessments for day-to-day control and an annual penetration test for in-depth validation.
Cloud and server security
Many of today’s incidents originate in cloud configurations that are too open: storage made public by mistake, exposed access keys or excessive permissions. Our cloud security assessment reviews these configurations on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud and gives you concrete fixes.
On your own servers or in the cloud we apply hardening: we remove unnecessary services, apply secure configurations, review patches and enable useful logs to detect incidents. If your infrastructure is still being designed, it is best to build these measures in from the start with our cloud solutions.
To keep protection in place over time, monitoring and incident handling can be part of our managed services.
From findings to remediation

A report without follow-up does not reduce risk. That is why every finding includes a concrete recommendation, the estimated effort to fix it and the suggested priority. We review the report with your technical team and with management to agree on a realistic plan.
Once the fixes are applied, we carry out a follow-up verification and update the status of each finding. If the assessment is part of a compliance process, the results can feed into your compliance and governance work.
Internal and external assessments
An external test answers the question of what someone could achieve from the internet without credentials: portals, email, remote access and published services. An internal test simulates a user on your network or a compromised device, and shows how far an attacker could get after getting past the perimeter, for example after a successful phishing email.
Both views complement each other. Many organizations have a reasonably protected perimeter but a flat internal network where any device can reach critical servers. We recommend the type of test according to your risks and budget.
Security as a continuous process

Security is not solved with a single assessment: every new system, configuration change or integration with a supplier can open a door. That is why we recommend a cycle of periodic assessments, remediation and verification, with indicators that show management how the organization’s level of risk evolves.
Awareness and the human factor
Many attacks begin with an email that persuades a person to click a link or share a password. Technical controls reduce the risk, but people remain part of the defense. Assessments can therefore include a review of how the organization detects and reports suspicious messages, so that awareness measures target real gaps.
How we carry out a security assessment
01
Scope and authorization
Systems included, rules of engagement and windows agreed in writing.
02
Reconnaissance
Identifying what your organization exposes and its components.
03
Testing
Searching for and exploiting vulnerabilities in a controlled way.
04
Report
Executive summary, findings with evidence and remediation plan.
05
Verification
Checking the fixes that were applied.

Talk to a specialist
Tell us which systems concern you and we will propose an assessment with a clear scope, rules and deliverables.
Before starting we agree in writing on the scope, test windows and rules. The tests with the highest potential impact are coordinated with your team and can be run in test environments or during low-activity hours.
What do I receive at the end of the assessment?
A technical report with each finding, its evidence and its risk level; an executive summary for management; and a remediation plan ranked by priority. We review the results with your team.
How often should security be assessed?
We recommend periodic vulnerability assessments, for example quarterly, and a penetration test at least once a year or after major changes to your systems or applications.
Do you publish the names of the organizations you assess?
No. We work under a confidentiality agreement and never disclose which organizations have hired security assessments or their results.
Can you help us fix the vulnerabilities?
Yes. Besides the report, we can apply configuration and hardening fixes, or support your technical team while it implements them, and then verify that they work.
How much does a penetration test cost?
It depends on the number of systems, applications and IP addresses included and the depth of the tests. Once the scope is defined we send you a proposal with the cost, duration and deliverables.
