Cyber Security

Threat modelling, penetration testing and hardening for teams that need findings they can act on, ranked by real exploitability rather than scanner severity.

  • Burp Suite
  • OWASP ZAP
  • Nmap
  • Metasploit
  • Semgrep
  • Trivy
  • Wireshark

What this covers

Application penetration testing

Manual testing against the OWASP Top 10 and the logic flaws scanners cannot reach, such as broken access control between tenants and authorisation checks missing on the second endpoint.

Threat modelling

Structured analysis of trust boundaries, data flows and attacker goals, done early enough in design that mitigations are cheap rather than retrofitted.

Secure code review

Targeted review of authentication, session handling, input validation, cryptography use and secrets management, with fixes proposed as diffs rather than descriptions.

Infrastructure and cloud hardening

Network segmentation, IAM policy review, least-privilege enforcement, TLS and security header configuration, and patch posture assessment.

Remediation support

We stay through the fix. Findings are re-tested after remediation so the report closes with verified resolutions, not a list of open items.

What you receive

  • Findings report with proof-of-concept reproduction steps
  • Risk ranking by exploitability and business impact
  • Remediation guidance with concrete code or config changes
  • Re-test verification of closed findings
  • Executive summary for non-technical stakeholders

A finding you cannot act on is not a finding

Automated scanners produce volume. A four-hundred-item report where the critical authorisation bypass sits at position two hundred and seven, between two false positives, does not make anyone safer. It makes the list easier to ignore.

Our reports are ranked by what an attacker could actually reach and what it would cost you, with the reasoning shown. If we cannot demonstrate a finding, we say so and mark it as theoretical rather than padding the count.

Where real breaches come from

The vulnerabilities that cause incidents are rarely exotic. In application testing they cluster in a small set of places: access control that checks ownership on the list endpoint but not the detail endpoint, session tokens that survive a password change, file uploads trusted by extension, and forgotten administrative interfaces reachable without authentication.

Finding these requires understanding what the application is supposed to do, which is why manual testing follows the automated pass rather than being replaced by it.

Modelling before testing

Testing tells you what is broken now. Threat modelling tells you what will break next.

Walking through trust boundaries and data flows during design catches entire vulnerability classes before code exists. It is the cheapest security work available, and it is skipped more often than any other.

Authorised testing only

All testing is scoped and authorised in writing before it begins, with agreed rules of engagement, a defined testing window and a named contact for anything that looks like a live incident. We test what you own or have explicit permission to test, and nothing else.
