Overview
A penetration test report is not security. It is a snapshot, and the majority of what it finds was introduced by a pattern that will keep producing the same finding until the pattern changes. We assess, fix the findings, and then change the thing that generated them — the authorisation model, the dependency policy, the way secrets are handled — so the next report is shorter. Portside Insurance went from thirty-one findings to four across two cycles, and the four remaining were accepted risks with dates against them.
Benefits
05 pointsFindings ranked by exploitability against your actual deployment, not by a generic severity score. A critical finding on an endpoint nobody can reach is not the first thing to fix.
Fixes delivered, not just recommended. We write the patch, add the regression test and ship it through your pipeline.
Authorisation reviewed as a model rather than endpoint by endpoint. Broken object-level access control is the most common serious finding we see and it is a design problem, not a bug.
Dependency and secret scanning wired into CI, so new problems surface at commit time rather than at the next annual assessment.
Evidence a customer security questionnaire will accept — which is increasingly what actually blocks enterprise deals.
Workflow
04 stagesScope and threat model
What we are protecting, from whom, and what a bad day looks like. A threat model takes a day and stops a fortnight being spent on the wrong perimeter.
Assessment
Authenticated application testing, dependency and configuration review, identity and access review, and a look at the deployment pipeline — which is frequently the softest target in the estate.
Remediate
We fix in priority order, with a regression test per finding so it cannot come back unnoticed, and re-test to confirm each one is closed.
Make it stick
Automated scanning in CI, secret management, a dependency update policy someone owns, and a written procedure for the next disclosure that reaches your inbox.
Deliverables
06 items- Assessment report with findings ranked by exploitability, each with reproduction steps.
- Remediation pull requests with regression tests, plus a re-test confirming closure.
- Identity and access review covering roles, privileged accounts and dormant access.
- CI security gates: dependency, secret and static analysis scanning.
- Accepted-risk register for anything not being fixed, with an owner and a review date.
- Evidence pack suitable for customer security questionnaires.
Questions
03 entriesIt includes assessment work, but a formal penetration test by an accredited third party is a separate thing and sometimes a compliance requirement. We are usually the people who fix what that test finds, and who change the pattern so the next test finds less. Where you need a certified test, we will prepare for it and remediate afterwards.
You are not targeted; you are scanned, along with everything else. Nearly all of what we see is automated exploitation of a known vulnerability in an unpatched dependency or an exposed administrative interface. That is also the good news — the majority of real-world risk is closed by unglamorous maintenance.
Yes. We produce the technical evidence — access reviews, scan results, the secure development description, the incident procedure — in the form these questionnaires ask for. We are not auditors and we do not certify anything; we make the answers true and then easy to give.
