SERVICE 02 · ASSESS
Choose a vulnerability assessment to establish a validated baseline, or penetration testing to examine exploitable attack paths. Engage either service on its own or combine them, with written findings and prioritized remediation guidance.
THE PROBLEM
A list of potential weaknesses does not tell you which findings matter most. A vulnerability assessment validates significant findings and prioritizes remediation across your environment. Penetration testing examines how weaknesses connect and what an attacker could reach through controlled exploitation.
WHAT WE OFFER
AST-A
Testing of your internet-facing perimeter from an external adversary’s position: exposed services, remote access, mail and web infrastructure, and the credential and configuration weaknesses attackers reach first. Findings document exploitable perimeter exposure.
AST-B
Testing from an assumed-breach position inside the network: lateral movement paths, Active Directory misconfigurations, privilege escalation chains, credential exposure, and the segmentation gaps that turn one compromised workstation into a domain-wide incident. Deliverable: a chained attack-path narrative with prioritized remediation.
AST-C
Manual, hands-on testing of your web applications, going beyond what automated scanners find: authentication and session handling, access control, injection, and business-logic abuse. Findings document the affected application behavior.
AST-D
Broad-coverage scanning across your external and internal environment, including authenticated scanning where access is provided. Significant findings are manually validated to remove false positives, then prioritized by exploitability and business impact. Suited to establishing a baseline across many systems, or to regular checks between penetration tests. Deliverable: a validated findings report with prioritized remediation guidance.
Post-remediation retesting is available as a scoped follow-up to a Strace testing engagement.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Organizations that need a validated vulnerability baseline or evidence of exploitable attack paths · Companies with annual penetration testing obligations from customers, auditors, or cyber insurance carriers · Organizations validating their environment after major infrastructure or identity changes · Leadership teams that want to know what an attacker could reach before the board asks · MSPs and channel partners needing senior offensive-security depth for their clients
HOW WE WORK
01 · SCOPE
Define the targets, objectives, testing windows, and constraints with the practitioners who will actually run the test.
02 · AUTHORIZE
Written rules of engagement and authorization before any testing begins: points of contact, escalation paths, and handling for fragile systems.
03 · TEST
For penetration tests, we attempt controlled exploitation and capture attack-path evidence. For vulnerability assessments, we scan the agreed environment and manually validate significant findings. Anything potentially disruptive is coordinated first.
04 · REPORT
Review the findings with your technical team and leadership, including attack paths where penetration testing is in scope, then agree remediation priorities.
WHAT THE REPORT INCLUDES
ENGAGEMENT STRUCTURE
Any of the four options can be engaged individually or combined. Pricing reflects the targets, testing windows, and constraints agreed during scoping. Written authorization is required before testing begins.
