Questions and answers

The same questions and answers published on our home page.

What exactly is a penetration test and why does my company need one?

A penetration test (or pentest) is a simulated, authorized cyberattack against your systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities. Unlike an automated scanner, our manual analysis uncovers complex vulnerabilities and gives you a realistic view of your business's risk level.

Could our work disrupt or damage your production services?

No. Your business continuity is our top priority. All tests are planned in coordination with your team, and we use controlled, non-destructive methodologies to avoid any impact on the availability of your services.

What will I receive at the end of the service? Just a list of problems?

You will receive a very detailed executive and technical report. It not only documents the vulnerabilities and their severity, but also includes a remediation plan with clear and actionable recommendations so your team can address each issue.

How do they guarantee the confidentiality of the information they discover?

We operate under a strict code of professional ethics. All our services are covered by a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) which we sign before starting any project. Your security and trust are the foundation of our business.

How is the price of an audit or penetration test determined?

Each project is unique. Pricing is based on scope, complexity, number of systems, and testing requirements.

How we start

Three steps, before any testing begins.

1 — Initial assessment

We start with an initial assessment: pricing is based on scope, complexity, number of systems, and testing requirements.

2 — Scope and confidentiality

We define the objectives and scope of the project, and every engagement is covered by an NDA signed before starting.

3 — Execution and report

Controlled testing and manual audits, documented findings, and a detailed executive and technical report with a remediation plan.
