Penetration Testing
Real attacks. Real findings. Actionable results.
Find the gaps before attackers do.
Testing Options
Our comprehensive penetration testing services simulate real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities in your systems before malicious actors can exploit them. Using industry-standard methodologies like PTES and OSSTMM, our expert team uncovers security weaknesses across your infrastructure.
External Penetration Testing
We attack your perimeter the way real adversaries would—scanning for exposed services, testing authentication mechanisms, and attempting to breach your internet-facing systems.
Internal Penetration Testing
Simulating a compromised workstation or rogue insider, we test how far an attacker could move laterally through your network and what sensitive data they could access.
Wireless Security Testing
We assess your wireless networks for rogue access points, weak encryption, and attack vectors that could give adversaries a foothold into your environment.
Physical Penetration Testing
Combining physical security testing with social engineering, we evaluate whether attackers could gain physical access to sensitive areas and systems.
How We Work
Every engagement follows the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), adapted to your environment and objectives. No cookie-cutter approaches—we tailor our methodology to find the vulnerabilities that matter to your organization.
Scoping & Intelligence
We define clear objectives, rules of engagement, and success criteria. Then we gather intelligence on your environment just like real attackers would.
Threat Modeling
We identify the most likely attack vectors based on your industry, technology stack, and threat landscape. This focuses our testing on high-impact scenarios.
Exploitation
Using manual techniques and custom tooling, we attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities. We document every step of the attack chain.
Post-Exploitation
When we achieve a foothold, we demonstrate real impact—lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data access—to show what adversaries could accomplish.
Reporting & Debrief
We deliver a detailed report and walk through every finding with your team. We don't disappear after the report lands—we work until everyone understands the risks.
What You Get
Our reports are built by people who've been on the receiving end. We know what it's like to get a 200-page PDF full of scanner output and no clear path forward. That's not what we deliver.
Executive Summary
A clear, jargon-free overview for leadership that explains business risk—not just technical severity scores.
Attack Narrative
The story of how we compromised your environment, step by step. This 'kill chain' shows the realistic path an attacker would take.
Detailed Findings
Each vulnerability documented with evidence, reproduction steps, and specific remediation guidance your team can act on.
Framework Mapping
Findings mapped to CIS Top 18 by default, with support for NIST CSF, 800-53, PCI-DSS, or any framework your compliance program requires.
Positive Observations
We don't just find problems—we document what's working well. Your team deserves credit for strong controls.
Remediation Support
Questions after the report? We're here. We'll walk through findings, clarify priorities, and help your team plan remediation.
Why Breach Craft
We've Been the Audience
Our team has sat in the CISO chair, managed security operations, and received plenty of pentest reports. We build deliverables we'd actually want to receive—detailed enough to act on, clear enough to present to leadership.
20+ Years in the Trenches
Our founding team brings over two decades each in security engineering, IT management, software development, and offensive security. We've seen how organizations really work.
Framework-Mapped Findings
Every finding references CIS Top 18 controls and NIST 800-53. Your compliance team can track remediation against established frameworks, not just our opinion.
We Don't Disappear
The report landing isn't the end of our engagement. We debrief with your team, answer questions, and help prioritize remediation. Six months later, still have questions? Call us.
Community Roots
We've been speaking at BSides Philadelphia and regional security conferences for over a decade. This isn't a side gig—security is our craft.
Common Questions
How long does a penetration test take?
Most engagements run 1-4 weeks depending on scope. A focused external test might take a week; a comprehensive internal assessment with multiple network segments takes longer. We'll provide a timeline during scoping.
Will testing disrupt our operations?
We design our testing to minimize impact. Most testing occurs during business hours with careful coordination. For critical systems, we can schedule testing during maintenance windows or use lower-intensity techniques.
How is this different from a vulnerability scan?
Scanners find potential vulnerabilities. Penetration testing proves exploitability. We manually attempt to breach your systems the way real attackers would, demonstrating actual business impact rather than theoretical risk scores.
Do we need to tell our team about the test?
It depends on your objectives. Testing your security operations center's detection capabilities? Keep it quiet. Want IT staff available to answer questions? Loop them in. We'll advise based on your goals.
What happens if you find something critical?
Critical findings are communicated immediately—not held for the final report. We'll alert your designated contact as soon as we confirm a high-severity vulnerability so you can begin remediation.
