Planning & Scoping
Objectives, in-scope assets, access level, rules of engagement, test windows and communication paths are agreed before testing begins.
The engagement moves from a clearly defined scope to attack-surface discovery, controlled exploitation, evidence-backed reporting and retesting.
Objectives, in-scope assets, access level, rules of engagement, test windows and communication paths are agreed before testing begins.
The attack surface is mapped: technologies, hosts, services, identities, trust relationships, application functionality and likely entry points.
Potential weaknesses are manually validated where safe and appropriate to determine whether they are genuinely exploitable and what impact they enable.
Findings are documented with evidence, severity, attack context and practical remediation guidance for both technical teams and stakeholders.
Corrected findings are retested to confirm the remediation is effective and the identified attack path is no longer exploitable.
