Methodology

See exactly how we test.

A repeatable, human-led process aligned to recognized standards — with a QA gate and evidence behind every reported issue.

01

Scope & threat model

We map your environment, agree targets and rules of engagement, and model the threats that matter.

02

Recon & mapping

Attack-surface discovery and enumeration — kept current as your systems change.

03

Manual exploitation

Certified testers exploit by hand, chaining auth, access-control, and business-logic flaws.

04

Evidence & QA gate

Findings ship with supporting evidence and pass an internal QA review before you see them.

05

Report & guidance

Risk-ranked findings with clear, actionable remediation mapped to each issue.

06

Retests

Retests are requested and tracked in the platform under the terms agreed in your engagement.

Quality assurance

Every finding is QA-reviewed before release.

Reports are checked against a checklist before you see them:

  • Scope matches what was agreed
  • CVSS vector and score are accurate
  • Evidence supports the finding
  • Remediation guidance is specific and actionable
  • Formatting and classification are correct
Severity model

Scored with CVSS v3.1, explained in context.

Each finding carries a CVSS v3.1 vector and base score. Where business context changes how serious an issue is, the report states the severity we assign and why.

SeverityCVSS v3.1 base score
Critical9.0 – 10.0
High7.0 – 8.9
Medium4.0 – 6.9
Low0.1 – 3.9
Informational0.0
Safety and communication

Testing that is controlled and communicated.

Agreed rules of engagement

Targets, exclusions, permitted techniques and testing windows are agreed before work begins.

Safe techniques, coordinated

We use safe techniques and coordinate with you before any potentially disruptive test.

Evidence stays with the finding

Evidence and reproduction steps are stored with each finding in the platform, with a SHA-256 hash recorded.

Contacts agreed up front

Engagement contacts and communication arrangements are confirmed during scoping.

Urgent issues

Before testing starts, we agree who hears about a critical issue and how, so urgent problems reach your team during testing rather than waiting for the report.

Release after QA

Findings are released to you after QA when the engagement is delivered. Remediation, retest requests and reports are then managed in the platform.

Aligned to

Recognized standards, not guesswork.
