Pentesting & Red Team: we uncover real gaps before an attacker does
We assess your exposure the way a real adversary would, but with clear rules: agreed scope, controlled windows, reproducible evidence and an impact-prioritized report. We cover technical audit, pentesting of applications, APIs, infrastructure, cloud and Microsoft 365, and adversary simulation (Red Team) aligned with MITRE ATT&CK and frameworks such as TIBER-EU. Every finding comes with a PoC, real risk rating, actionable recommendation and a retest that closes the loop.
Scope

Built for regulated and demanding environments: governance, execution and defensible evidence.
Execution quality
“Security that runs”: operations + governance + auditability. We don’t stop at diagnosis: we close gaps, verify, and produce defensible evidence.

What Pentesting & Red Team covers in practice
- Technical audit of infrastructure, network and configuration against best practice.
- Web application and API pentesting aligned with OWASP (WSTG, ASVS).
- External and internal infrastructure, Active Directory and segmentation pentesting.
- Offensive review of cloud (Azure, AWS, GCP) and Microsoft 365 / Entra ID.
- Red Team and adversary simulation (MITRE ATT&CK, TIBER-EU where applicable).
- Impact-prioritized report with reproducible PoC and retest of the fixes.
We work the offensive side with traceability and business context: we set the objectives, agree the rules of engagement, execute within the window and deliver a report useful for leadership, technical teams and audit. We don’t conflate “we ran a scanner” with “we pentested”: the value lies in controlled exploitation, vulnerability chaining and post-fix validation.
Deliverables (for management, technical teams and audit)
Executive summary
A one-page read for leadership and committee: impact, residual risk, status by area and decisions required.
Technical report with PoC
Reproducible detail per finding: evidence, CVSS, exploitation path, real impact and a specific remediation recommendation.
Prioritized remediation plan
A backlog ordered by real risk and effort, with suggested owners, dependencies and quick wins that can move on day one.
Retest and closure letter
Validation of the fixes, closure evidence per finding and an updated report with the accepted residual risk.
Typical use cases
Public-facing web app or API
Pentest aligned with OWASP WSTG / ASVS: authentication, authorization, business logic, injections, IDOR and dependencies.
Perimeter and internal infrastructure
Exposed-surface discovery, service review, lateral movement and Active Directory privilege escalation.
Cloud environment and Microsoft 365
Review of identities, permissions, secrets, public exposure, Conditional Access and abuse of tokens or OAuth consents.
Adversary simulation (Red Team)
Scenario with concrete objectives, techniques aligned with MITRE ATT&CK, initial access, persistence and Blue Team detection validation.
Post-incident validation
Confirm that remediation after an incident actually closes the vector and leaves no residual access or backdoor.
Regulatory driver
Pentest as evidence for DORA, NIS2, ENS, ISO 27001 or PCI-DSS, with a report useful both to auditors and to close prior findings.
FAQ (Pentesting & Red Team)
What’s the difference between audit, pentesting and Red Team? ↓
An audit reviews configuration, architecture and controls against best practice (a structured “as-is”). Pentesting exploits vulnerabilities within a defined scope (web, API, infra, cloud) to demonstrate real impact. Red Team goes further: it simulates an adversary with concrete objectives — for example, reaching a critical asset — combining technical and human vectors. They’re not substitutes; they’re different layers of maturity.
Do you work black-box, grey-box or white-box? ↓
All three, depending on the objective. Black-box when we want to see “what an outside attacker without information would see.” Grey-box (the most common) when we need to optimize coverage and time using standard user credentials. White-box when the goal is maximum depth: access to code, configuration and architecture. We agree on this up front, not mid-engagement.
What methodology do you follow? ↓
We use OWASP (WSTG, ASVS, MASVS) as a reference for applications, PTES for infrastructure, and MITRE ATT&CK as the tactics-and-techniques taxonomy for Red Team. In regulated financial contexts we align with TIBER-EU where applicable. Methodology is the baseline; experience is what turns a checklist into a real finding.
Will the report be useful for audit and for my teams to fix things? ↓
Yes — and they’re two layers of the same deliverable. The executive summary translates risk into business impact (for leadership, audit or committee). The technical detail includes a reproducible PoC, evidence, CVSS, exploitation path and a specific recommendation per finding. That’s what the remediating team uses.
Is retest of the fixes included? ↓
Yes. The retest is included and it’s where most of the value lands: we verify that critical and high findings are actually closed, capture evidence of the closure and update the report. Anything still open is documented as residual risk.
How often should a pentest or Red Team exercise be repeated? ↓
It depends on the change and on the applicable framework. As a reference: a pentest at least annually and after significant changes (major release, cloud migration, architecture change). Red Team at a lower cadence (12–24 months) or tied to regulatory milestones (TIBER-EU, DORA, NIS2) or post-incident to validate the new posture.
