We attack for the defence

Security Test Team is an offensive security practice. We find the weaknesses of a system before someone with other intentions does, and we do it only where the owner has asked us to.

01Principles

What we hold to

  • Legality first

    We would rather lose a contract than test without authorisation.

  • Proof, not opinion

    We report what we have reproduced, with the evidence attached.

  • Plain language

    A report that management cannot read and engineers cannot act on is a failed report.

  • Independence

    We sell no security products and take no commission from vendors or platforms. Our recommendations have no second purpose.

  • Responsibility for impact

    We test as if the system were ours: carefully, and with a way back.

  • Discretion

    We do not name clients and do not tell stories about them.

02Team

Who works on your engagement

  • Named specialists

    The proposal names the people who will do the work. They are the ones who do it.

  • A second pair of eyes

    Every report is reviewed by a specialist who took no part in the test.

  • The right specialisation

    A smart contract is audited by people who audit smart contracts, a mobile application by people who take mobile applications apart. Where we lack the specialisation, we say so and decline.

  • One point of contact

    A lead tester is reachable for the whole duration of the engagement.

03Boundaries

Work we do not take

  • Testing without the written authorisation of the asset owner
  • Access to accounts, devices or correspondence of private individuals
  • Collection of compromising information about people or competitors
  • Development or sale of malware and exploits for use outside an authorised test
  • Anything that requires concealing the engagement from the owner of the systems

Free check

We check your website free of charge

If we find no problems, you receive the report free of charge as well. You pay for the report only when we find problems, and its price depends on their number and severity.

Application security

Free website security check

We look at your website from the outside, the way an attacker does, and check whether it can be broken into: weak settings, outdated software, exposed files, unsafe forms. The check is free of charge.

Application security

Web application penetration testing

We try to break into your web application the way a real attacker would: log in to the accounts of other people, read the data of other customers, change prices or orders. You learn what is possible before criminals do.

Application security

API security testing

An API is the channel through which your app, your website and your partners exchange data with your servers. We check that nobody can use it to read or change data that is not theirs.

Application security

Mobile application penetration testing

We examine your iOS or Android app and the servers behind it: what the app keeps on the phone, what can be extracted from it and whether its requests can be tampered with.

Application security

Secure code review

Our specialists read the source code of your product and find the mistakes that lead to a break-in, including those that cannot be seen from the outside.

Infrastructure and cloud

Cloud & Kubernetes security assessment

We check how your cloud is set up (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Kubernetes): who has access to what, which data is open to the internet and how far an attacker gets after the first mistake.

Infrastructure and cloud

Infrastructure penetration testing

We test your servers and your office network from the outside and from the inside: can an attacker get in, and once inside, reach the accounting system, the mail or the backups.

Infrastructure and cloud

External attack surface assessment

We find everything your company exposes to the internet, including what has been forgotten: old websites, test servers, leaked passwords. Then we show which of it can be attacked.

Infrastructure and cloud

CI/CD & supply chain security

We check the path your code takes from the developer to the customer: build servers, third-party libraries, access keys. Whoever controls that path controls your product.

Adversary simulation

Red team operations

A full-scale exercise. Our team plays a real attacker with a goal, for example to reach customer data, and you see whether your defence notices and stops it.

Adversary simulation

Purple team exercises

Our attackers and your defenders work side by side: we show an attack technique, your team checks whether it sees it, and the gaps in monitoring are closed on the spot.

Adversary simulation

Social engineering assessment

We test people, not machines: the phishing emails, calls and messages that attackers use to obtain passwords. You learn how many employees would be deceived and what to train.

AI, Web3 and cryptography

AI & LLM security testing

If your product has a chatbot or another AI model, we check whether it can be talked into revealing confidential data, breaking its own rules or acting on behalf of someone else.

AI, Web3 and cryptography

Smart contract audit

Before a smart contract holds money, we look for mistakes in its code that would let someone withdraw or freeze the funds. After deployment such mistakes cannot be corrected.

AI, Web3 and cryptography

Cryptography review

We check how your product encrypts data and protects keys: whether the right algorithms are chosen and whether they are applied correctly. A mistake here makes the encryption useless.

Programs and assurance

Bug bounty program management

A bug bounty is a program in which independent researchers look for vulnerabilities in your product and are paid for each one they find. We launch and run such a program for you.

Programs and assurance

Vulnerability disclosure program (VDP)

A public page and a procedure that tell researchers how to report a vulnerability to you safely. Without them reports get lost or arrive as threats. We set the process up and handle incoming reports.

Programs and assurance

Continuous penetration testing

Instead of one test a year, we test every significant change of your product throughout the year, so that a new vulnerability does not wait for months to be found.

Programs and assurance

Compliance-driven penetration testing

A penetration test arranged so that an auditor, a regulator or a large customer accepts its report: PCI DSS, DORA, NIS2, ISO/IEC 27001, SOC 2.

Services of interest

Not sure yet

Choose this if you do not know which service you need. Describe the task in your own words, and a specialist will suggest the service in the reply.

Domain or URL of the website or of the main system to test, for example app.example.com.

What needs testing, why now, and any deadline or compliance requirement. No passwords, keys or vulnerability details.

Confirmations

Do not send credentials, keys or details of a vulnerability through this form. A secure channel is agreed after the first reply.
