Technical Assurance
What we do → Trust & Assurance
Technical Assurance
Penetration testing, cloud and application architecture review, and cryptographic discovery — by practitioners who hold the offensive certifications, not just the audit ones.
We don’t just review the design. We test it. Technical work by technical practitioners — CREST-aligned methodology, real exploitation paths, and findings a developer can action the same day.
What we cover
- Web, mobile, API, and network penetration testing, CREST-aligned methodology
- Cloud security architecture review across AWS, Azure, and GCP — misconfiguration, identity, and data-plane exposure
- Cryptographic discovery and inventory — algorithm, key-length, and library-level exposure ahead of post-quantum migration deadlines
- Secure design and architecture review during the build phase, before code is written at scale
- Red team exercises simulating a realistic adversary against people, process, and technology together
What you receive
A technical report with reproducible exploitation steps, CVSS-scored findings, and remediation guidance written for the engineer who has to fix it — not just the committee that has to read about it. An executive summary translates the same findings into business risk for the board.
Our approach
Technical assurance work is scoped to the system, not a generic checklist. We confirm the attack surface and rules of engagement up front, then run manual testing augmented by tooling — automated scanning alone is a compliance exercise, not a security test. Every finding is validated with a working proof of concept before it is reported. Cryptographic discovery runs as a structured inventory exercise: every algorithm, key length, and certificate in scope is catalogued and scored against current and post-quantum risk.
Typical engagement
- Phase 1. Scoping and rules of engagement (1 week)
- Phase 2. Testing and exploitation (2–4 weeks depending on scope)
- Phase 3. Reporting and retest window (2 weeks)
- Phase 4. Executive readout and remediation support
Prerequisites
- Named engagement sponsor on the client side
- Defined scope and rules of engagement, including any exclusions
- Test environment or production change-window access as agreed
- Point of contact for each system owner in scope
