// SPECIALIZED SECURITY ASSESSMENTS

Specialized Security Assessments

Beyond generic vulnerability testing, we validate the specific attack, exposure, and abuse scenarios that actually worry your business. “Can we be impersonated?” “Is our data leaking?” “Could malware spread across everything?” — six assessments framed by real impact.

// 01 · EXTERNAL EXPOSURE & ATTACK SURFACE ASSESSMENT

External Exposure & Attack Surface

We look at your company the way an attacker does — what an outsider can find and collect about your systems and information.

KEY VALIDATION SCOPE
•Domains, subdomains, IPs, and exposed servers
•Cloud, storage, and management-interface exposure
•Dev, test, and prod systems unintentionally public
•Source code, configs, keys, and tokens in public repos like GitHub
•Employee accounts, emails, and leaked credentials
•Public documents, metadata, and technical information
•Unmanaged Shadow IT
•Information and paths that could seed a real attack

What an attacker can see about you, and what of it can be turned into an attack.

// 02 · CLIENT & SERVICE LOGIC PROTECTION ASSESSMENT

Client & Service Logic Protection

We analyze the app or client to see how easily its core business logic and security features can be understood, tampered with, or bypassed.

KEY VALIDATION SCOPE
•How hard the app/client code is to analyze
•Obfuscation, packing, and symbol protection
•Integrity checks and tamper detection
•Rooting, jailbreak, debugging, and hooking defenses
•Whether API calls and internal protocols can be analyzed
•Critical logic, keys, and config exposed in the client
•Tampering with payment, auth, permission, or license logic
•Feature abuse outside the intended flow
•Whether client-side security controls can be bypassed

How easily your core logic surfaces and can be abused when the app is analyzed or modified.

// 03 · PHISHING & SERVICE IMPERSONATION ASSESSMENT

Phishing & Service Impersonation

We test whether an attacker can stand up a fake service or channel impersonating you — and whether your users and organization can tell it apart and respond.

KEY VALIDATION SCOPE
•Look-alike domains and typosquatting
•Building forged login or payment pages
•How easily brand, website, and app screens can be cloned
•Service impersonation over email, SMS, and messengers
•Fake customer-support and inquiry channels
•Impersonation via social media and search ads
•Sender-authentication (email) protections
•Phishing detection, blocking, and reporting processes
•Customer notice and response when impersonation happens

How easily you can be impersonated, and how well your customers and organization tell it apart and respond.

// 04 · SENSITIVE DATA EXPOSURE ASSESSMENT

Sensitive Data Exposure

We find the paths where personal and sensitive information can be unintentionally exposed or abused across the whole service.

KEY VALIDATION SCOPE
•What personal and sensitive data is collected
•How it is stored on client, server, and cloud
•Transmission over APIs and the network
•Exposure in logs, error messages, and debug info
•Caches, temp files, and backup data
•Data exposed in URLs, the browser, or inside the app
•Whether unauthorized users can reach the data
•Misconfigured cloud storage and share links
•Residual access from leavers and dormant accounts
•Data left behind after retention or deletion
•Small pieces that combine into sensitive information

Where your sensitive data lives, where it leaks, and how an attacker could reach it.

The focus is technical exposure and abuse, not legal-compliance judgment.

// 05 · MALWARE INGRESS & INTERNAL SPREAD RESILIENCE ASSESSMENT

Malware Ingress & Internal Spread

Assuming an attacker is already inside, we test how far ransomware and other malware can spread and reach your critical assets — from a real attack-scenario perspective.

KEY VALIDATION SCOPE
•Reaching internal systems after initial access
•Taking over user and admin privileges
•Lateral movement across the internal network
•Reaching AD, file servers, and shared folders
•Ransomware and malware spreading across systems
•Whether EDR actually detects and blocks malware
•Access to, tampering with, or deletion of backups

Assuming an attacker is inside: how far malware spreads and what it can take over.

// 06 · NETWORK SEPARATION & DATA EXFILTRATION ASSESSMENT

Network Separation & Data Exfiltration

We test whether data you believe is separated is actually isolated, and whether there are paths for critical data to leave.

KEY VALIDATION SCOPE
•Bypassing network separation and segmentation
•Boundary controls between dev, prod, and external networks
•Bulk collection of critical documents and data
•Exfiltration paths and control bypass
•Bypass routes via VDI, remote work, and file transfer
•Whether DLP and firewalls actually detect and block exfiltration

Whether the data you believe is separated is truly isolated — and whether any path lets it leave.

For a full, organization-wide scenario and live validation of the response process — detection, reporting, containment, recovery — see Red Team Exercise.

// 07 · PROCESS

From scope agreement to remediation.

STEP 1

Agree on goals, scope & safety

Targets, timing, information level, permitted and prohibited actions, stop conditions

STEP 2

Prepare & gather context

Assets and environment, test accounts or testbeds, operational safety review

STEP 3

Assess, analyze & validate

Broad AI-assisted collection and analysis, followed by expert manual validation

STEP 4

Report & brief decision-makers

Material risks and priorities, technical detail, reproducible evidence

STEP 5

Support remediation & retest

Remediation guidance, fix verification, residual-risk and exception management
