Offensive Security Services
Every engagement is scoped, authorised, and documented before a single test runs. Findings are graded by real exploitability — not scanner severity scores alone.
01 / VAPT
Full-lifecycle web application security assessment following the OWASP Testing Guide. Covers authentication bypass, injection vulnerabilities, broken access control, business logic flaws, API security, and session management — with manual expert analysis beyond automated scanning.
02 / VAPT
External and internal network penetration testing covering perimeter security, lateral movement paths, Active Directory attack chains, privilege escalation, and misconfiguration exploitation. Mapped to PTES and NIST SP 800-115 methodology with full kill-chain documentation.
03 / VAPT
Security assessment of REST, GraphQL, SOAP, and gRPC APIs. Covers authentication and authorisation weaknesses, mass assignment, improper asset management, rate limiting failures, injection via API endpoints, and business logic vulnerabilities in API-first architectures. Aligned to OWASP API Security Top 10.
04 / VAPT
Security assessment of Android and iOS applications covering static analysis, dynamic runtime testing, inter-process communication, insecure data storage, weak cryptography, certificate pinning bypass, and backend API security. Aligned to OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG).
05 / VAPT
Security assessment of desktop and client-server applications including binary analysis, memory inspection, inter-process communication security, registry and file system analysis, network traffic interception, and authentication mechanism review. Methodology applied at Siemens Healthineers for medical device software.
06 / VAPT
Security assessment of cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Covers IAM misconfigurations, storage exposure, network security group weaknesses, serverless function security, container security, and cloud-native service attack surfaces. Includes both configuration review and active exploitation testing.
07 / RED TEAM
Goal-oriented adversarial simulation that tests the entire organisation's detection and response capability — people, processes, and technology — using real-world attacker TTPs. Scenarios are customised to your threat actor profile and objectives. Full MITRE ATT&CK mapping in final report.
08 / PURPLE TEAM
Collaborative adversary simulation where red team attack actions are run transparently with blue team defenders observing and improving detection coverage in real time. Uses MITRE ATT&CK as the shared language. Outputs measurable improvement in SIEM detection rules, playbooks, and SOC response times.
09 / ADVERSARY SIMULATION
Structured emulation of specific Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) actor TTPs relevant to your industry and geography. Uses MITRE ATT&CK threat intelligence to replicate known adversary behaviour — testing whether your defences would detect and contain a real-world targeted attack.
How I Work
Every engagement follows a documented methodology from scoping to sign-off. No undocumented testing. No scope creep. Clear rules of engagement agreed in writing before any work begins.
Frameworks Used
Engagement scope, target systems, testing windows, escalation contacts, and rules of engagement are documented and signed off before any testing begins. No surprises — for either party.
Passive and active information gathering on in-scope targets. OSINT, DNS enumeration, service fingerprinting, and attack surface mapping to build a complete picture before exploitation attempts begin.
Combination of automated scanning and deep manual analysis. Automated tools find the obvious — manual testing finds the business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and context-specific weaknesses that scanners miss entirely.
Controlled exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact — access levels achievable, data accessible, lateral movement possible. Every action is logged with timestamps for the audit trail.
Two-layer reporting: executive summary for management and board audiences (risk, business impact, prioritised remediation roadmap), and a detailed technical report for security and development teams (CVSS scores, PoC evidence, step-by-step remediation).
Technical debrief walkthrough with your team, remediation validation, and retest of all fixed vulnerabilities. Retest certificate issued — suitable for board reporting, compliance evidence, and enterprise procurement requirements.
What You Receive
Every engagement concludes with documentation that serves both technical teams and executive leadership — not a single generic PDF sent to everyone.
Risk-focused summary for management and board audiences. Covers overall security posture, critical findings in plain language, business impact assessment, and a prioritised remediation roadmap.
Detailed technical report for security and development teams. Every finding includes: severity rating (CVSS v3.1), CWE classification, proof-of-concept evidence, affected components, and step-by-step remediation guidance.
Screenshots, request/response captures, payloads, and reproduction steps for every confirmed vulnerability. Developers can reproduce the finding exactly — making remediation faster and more accurate.
Visual documentation of attack chains — showing how individual vulnerabilities can be chained to achieve critical impact. Gives leadership a clear picture of real-world exploitability, not just a list of issues.
Walkthrough session with your security and development teams. Findings explained, root causes clarified, and remediation approaches validated — before your team starts fixing the wrong thing.
Verification testing of all remediated vulnerabilities with a written retest report confirming which findings have been resolved, which remain open, and the current residual risk posture. Suitable for internal security sign-off, audit evidence, and board-level remediation tracking.
Practitioner Credentials
Every engagement is run by someone who holds the industry's most rigorous hands-on penetration testing credentials — not classroom-only certifications.
CEH Master
CPENT
LPT Master
CHFI
ISC2 CC
WAHS
Licensed Penetration Tester (Master) is EC-Council's highest-level penetration testing credential. It requires demonstrating live exploitation skills across a multi-layered enterprise network range under timed, proctored conditions — not a multiple-choice exam. Holders must chain vulnerabilities across network segments to achieve domain compromise. It is one of the most demanding practical security certifications available.
Attack Surface Coverage
Penetration testing is only as good as the coverage of attack surfaces it examines. A checklist approach misses what matters. These are the areas assessed across a full-scope engagement.
Authentication
Password policies, MFA bypass, OAuth/OIDC weaknesses, JWT manipulation, privilege escalation, and broken object-level authorisation (BOLA/IDOR).
Injection
SQL injection, NoSQL injection, LDAP injection, OS command injection, SSTI, XXE, and GraphQL injection — tested manually with automated tooling supplement.
Session Management
Session fixation, token predictability, cookie security attributes, CSRF, session timeout weaknesses, and token leakage through logs and referrer headers.
Business Logic
Workflow bypass, price manipulation, race conditions, insecure direct object reference, and process flow vulnerabilities that scanners cannot detect — requires human understanding of the application.
Cryptography
Weak cipher suites, certificate issues, insecure key storage, hardcoded credentials, improper use of cryptographic primitives, and transport security failures.
Infrastructure
Open ports and services, default credentials, missing patches, firewall rule weaknesses, cloud storage exposure, and insecure administrative interfaces.
Common Questions
Available services include web application penetration testing, network and infrastructure penetration testing, API security testing, mobile application penetration testing (Android & iOS), thick client application testing, cloud security assessment (AWS/Azure/GCP), red team engagements, purple team exercises, and MITRE ATT&CK-based APT threat emulation. Each engagement type is scoped and documented before testing begins.
A penetration test is a time-boxed, scope-defined technical assessment of specific systems or applications to identify and demonstrate exploitable vulnerabilities. A red team engagement is goal-oriented adversarial simulation — testing whether your people, processes, and technology would detect and respond to a real-world targeted attack. Red team engagements are covert, operate across the full kill chain, and test detection and response capability, not just vulnerability presence.
Web application and API assessments follow the OWASP Testing Guide v4.2 and OWASP API Security Top 10. Mobile assessments follow the OWASP Mobile Security Testing Guide (MSTG). Network penetration tests follow PTES and NIST SP 800-115. Red team and adversary simulation engagements use MITRE ATT&CK as the TTP framework. All findings are scored using CVSS v3.1 and classified using CWE identifiers.
Every engagement delivers: an executive summary report (risk, business impact, prioritised remediation roadmap), a detailed technical report (CVSS scores, CWE classifications, PoC evidence, step-by-step remediation), attack path mapping for chained vulnerabilities, a remediation debrief session with your team, and a retest certificate after verified remediation — suitable for board reporting, compliance audits, and procurement documentation.
Yes. Penetration testing and security assessment experience spans regulated financial environments including central banking, sovereign wealth funds, and monetary authorities. Engagements are structured to align with RBI, SWIFT, ISO 27001, and relevant national regulatory requirements, with findings reports formatted to support compliance and audit evidence needs.
Active penetration testing credentials: CEH Master (EC-Council), CPENT — Certified Penetration Testing Professional (EC-Council), LPT Master — Licensed Penetration Tester Master (EC-Council's highest-level practical pentest credential requiring live network range exploitation under proctored conditions), and PEN-200 / OSCP (Offensive Security). CHFI is also held for digital forensics and post-incident investigation work.
Duration depends on scope. A focused web application penetration test for a single application typically runs 5–10 working days including reporting. A full-scope VAPT (web, API, network) is typically 2–3 weeks. A red team engagement is typically 4–8 weeks. All timelines are confirmed during the scoping call before any work begins.
