Manual Penetration Testing for Web, API, Cloud, and Infrastructure

Find exploitable risk before attackers, auditors, or enterprise customers do. We combine manual testing, clear reporting, and remediation guidance so your team can fix what matters and move forward.

Manual testing that goes beyond automated scanner output

  • Web app, API, cloud, internal, and external infrastructure coverage
  • Executive and technical reports your team can actually use
  • Remediation guidance and optional retesting after fixes

Pentest Brief

Audit-ready findings

Scope: Web + API

Retest: Included

Validated findings

  • Critical: Auth bypass path
  • High: API object access
  • Medium: Cloud permission chain

Executive summary

  • Technical reproduction steps
  • Remediation roadmap

WHY IT MATTERS

A penetration test should create decisions, not just a PDF.

Many teams ask for a pentest because a customer, auditor, insurer, or board member needs evidence. We make that useful by turning the engagement into a prioritized plan your engineering and security teams can execute.

Common triggers:

  • SOC 2 audit evidence
  • Enterprise customer security review
  • New app, API, or major release
  • Cloud or infrastructure risk review

Find exploitable risk:
Manual testers validate impact, chain issues where appropriate, and separate real risk from scanner noise.

Support audits and customers:
Get a professional report that helps satisfy SOC 2, enterprise security reviews, and board questions.

Fix the right things first:
Findings are prioritized by severity, exploitability, affected assets, and practical remediation effort.

Close the loop:
We stay available for remediation questions and can retest fixes so your team can move forward.

SCOPE

What we can test

Scope can be narrow for an audit deadline or broader for a full attack-path review.

Web apps and APIs

Authentication, authorization, data exposure, business logic, OWASP Top 10, and API abuse paths.

  • Authentication, session management, and password reset flows
  • Broken access control, tenant isolation, and privilege escalation
  • API authorization, data exposure, rate limits, and abuse cases
  • Business logic flaws automated scanners usually miss

Cloud environments

AWS, Azure, and GCP reviews focused on identity, exposed services, storage, and cloud-native risk.

  • IAM privilege review and risky permission paths
  • Exposed storage, secrets, services, and management interfaces
  • Container, Kubernetes, and serverless configuration checks
  • Attack paths from cloud misconfiguration to data access

Infrastructure and network

External and internal network testing to identify reachable vulnerabilities and attack paths.

  • External attack surface validation and exploitability review
  • Internal network paths, lateral movement, and segmentation gaps
  • Firewall, remote access, and exposed administration checks
  • Manual validation of scanner findings to reduce false positives

Social engineering

Optional human-focused testing for phishing, vishing, and security-awareness validation.

  • Phishing scenarios aligned to your real business context
  • Vishing or pretexting exercises when appropriate
  • Security awareness and reporting workflow validation
  • Executive-safe summary of human risk and next steps

DELIVERABLES

Clear evidence for executives, engineers, auditors, and customers.

The report is designed to help leadership understand risk while giving technical teams enough detail to reproduce, prioritize, and fix each issue.

  • Executive summary written for leadership and customers
  • Technical findings with reproduction steps and evidence
  • Risk-ranked remediation roadmap
  • Remediation office hours or Slack support when needed
  • Retest support to verify fixes
  • Audit-ready report package

PROCESS

How the engagement works

We keep the process structured so testing is safe, useful, and easy for your team to act on.

Step 1: Discovery & Planning

  • Define testing scope
  • Establish testing timeline
  • Gather technical information

Step 2: Testing & Exploitation

  • Vulnerability scanning
  • Manual testing techniques
  • Exploitation of vulnerabilities

Step 3: Analysis & Reporting

  • Vulnerability assessment
  • Risk prioritization
  • Remediation guidance

Step 4: Remediation & Verification

  • Remediation consultation
  • Verification testing
  • Final security assessment
