A pentest is not where most teams should start
A real penetration test is advanced, targeted, and expensive, and it is rarely the most accessible first step. A security posture assessment gives you a good view of the real risks and lets you fix the most important problems first. You spend on the deep test later, when it is actually warranted.
What's included
External perimeter and exposed attack-surface review, plus authentication and MFA configuration
Security configuration review of the common weak points, with industry-standard tooling (nmap, nuclei, OWASP ZAP, testssl.sh)
Plain-language findings ranked by what to fix first. Anything we cannot confirm is labelled Unverified, never guessed
A prioritized remediation list, and a clear read on when a full penetration test is worth the investment
What you receive
A security posture report with a plain-language summary for non-technical readers and a prioritized fix list your team or ours can act on.
Where the posture assessment ends and a pentest begins
A full penetration test is a separate, more advanced engagement that we scope with, or refer to, a partner with OSCP+ credentials. Also out of scope: red teaming, social engineering at scale, internal lateral-movement testing, zero-day research, and compliance certifications such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2.
Posture assessment FAQ
Is a posture assessment the same as a penetration test?
No. A posture assessment surfaces your obvious, fixable exposure and prioritizes it. A penetration test is a deeper, targeted, more expensive engagement we scope with or refer to a specialist partner.
Will you fabricate findings to look thorough?
Never. Honest findings are a hard rule. Anything we cannot confirm is labelled Unverified with a recommended follow-up, not inflated into a false positive.
Do you need our permission to scan?
Yes. A signed written authorization is required before any active scanning. No exceptions.
