Methodology Built on
Real Adversarial Thinking
Use this page to understand how engagements are scoped, executed, validated, and delivered. It is the operational side of the offer: what happens, in what order, and what clients receive.
How Engagements Move From
Scope to Retest
The process is designed to reduce ambiguity for both technical teams and stakeholders: clear scope, controlled validation, usable reporting, and support through remediation.
Assessments are aligned to recognised methodology references including OWASP, PTES, and NIST SP 800-115, adapted to the engagement scope rather than followed as a generic checklist.
Scoping & Agreement
A detailed scoping call defines targets, constraints, rules of engagement, required access, and confidentiality terms before testing begins.
Reconnaissance & Surface Mapping
Passive and active intelligence gathering maps the full attack surface, exposed services, technologies, trust boundaries, and attacker-relevant context.
Vulnerability Discovery
Automated tooling is used as support, not as a substitute. Manual testing focuses on logic flaws, chained weaknesses, and context-specific exposure.
Exploitation & Impact Analysis
Controlled proof-of-concept validation demonstrates what an attacker could realistically access, alter, or exfiltrate if issues remain unresolved.
Reporting & Remediation Guidance
Clients receive technical proof, business context, prioritised remediation guidance, and retest support where needed.
What You Receive
Every engagement delivers the full package
