Pentest Alpha TLP:CLEAR
Offensive Security REF: ENG-2026-001 REGION: EMEA / GLOBAL STATUS: ACCEPTING ENGAGEMENTS

We find the attack paths in your crown jewels before someone else does.

Offensive security consultancy. Twenty years of engineering, eight of them deep inside MongoDB. We break database deployments, cloud estates, and AI systems under controlled conditions — then hand you the fix.

Capabilities

Five ways your environment gets tested.

FORMAT: FINDING-STYLE

SVC-01Regulated

Red Team Operations

Threat-intelligence-led adversary simulation for regulated environments. Built for TIBER-EU, DORA, and CBEST contexts — scoped, evidenced, and reported to the standard your regulator expects.

TIBER-EUDORACBESTPurple team
SVC-02Cloud

Cloud Security Architecture

Offensive review of AWS, Azure, and GCP estates: identity boundaries, privilege escalation paths, data-exfiltration routes, and the cross-account trust relationships nobody documented.

SVC-03Emerging

AI / LLM Security

Adversarial testing of LLM-backed applications: prompt injection, data leakage, tool-abuse chains, and the trust boundaries between your model, your data, and your users.

SVC-04Whitebox

Source Code Review & Exploitation

Manual, white-box review of your application source: logic flaws, authentication bypasses, injection, unsafe deserialization, and the insecure data flows scanners walk straight past. Every finding proven with a working exploit, not a static-analysis maybe.

SVC-05Binary

Binary Exploitation

Reverse engineering and exploitation of compiled applications and native services: memory-corruption bugs, unsafe parsing, and the trust boundaries inside the binaries your security depends on. From root cause to a reliable proof-of-concept.

Method

Engagements run like operations, not audits.

PHASE 01

Scope & rules of engagement

Targets, exclusions, escalation contacts, and legal authorization agreed in writing before a single packet moves.

PHASE 02

Reconnaissance & threat modeling

Your environment mapped the way an adversary would map it — externally first, assumptions last.

PHASE 03

Controlled exploitation

Attack paths executed under agreed constraints, with full evidence capture and no production surprises.

PHASE 04

Reporting & remediation

Findings ranked by real exploitability, each with a reproduction path and a concrete fix. Debrief with your engineers, not just your auditors.

PHASE 05

Retest

Fixes verified, residual risk stated plainly, report closed out.

Track record

Background that doesn't need embellishing.

Engagement models

Three ways to work together.

Fixed-scope assessment

Defined targets, defined timeline, defined deliverable. Best for source code reviews, cloud architecture assessments, and AI/LLM testing.

TYPICAL: 1–3 WEEKS

Red team operation

Intelligence-led, objective-based campaigns for regulated entities. Standalone or embedded in your provider's team under TIBER-EU / CBEST frameworks.

TYPICAL: 4–12 WEEKS

Retained advisory

Ongoing offensive security counsel: architecture reviews, threat modeling, secure design input, and on-call expertise for your engineering teams.

TYPICAL: MONTHLY RETAINER
