Bespoke Security Validation
Validation designed around a specific protection goal
We design the question and method first, then check whether the protection you need actually holds.
We design what to check, under which conditions and by which method, taking into account business rules, authentication and authorization, trust and isolation between systems, data protection and the characteristics of the technology. The results show when the protection holds and when it breaks, with the evidence and how to improve it.
Does this protection actually hold? Reviewed
The conditions it holds under, the evidence and how to improve it.
When it fits
- There is a condition you must protect
For example, a payment amount must not be changeable, or one customer must never see another customer's data, and you want to know whether that holds.
- You are adopting a new environment or technology
AI and LLM services or a new architecture are hard to judge with standard test items alone, and the method has to be designed for them.
- A release or major change is coming
You want to confirm that business flows and permission design work as intended before they go live.
What we design around
We choose the questions that matter for your protection goal. Not every area applies to every validation.
- Business rules
Whether prices, quantities, order of steps and approvals only behave as the rules intend.
- Authentication and authorization
Whether anyone can reach data or functions outside their permissions or around the authentication process.
- Trust and isolation
Whether trust relationships and separation between systems, tenants and networks actually hold.
- Data protection
Whether sensitive information can be exposed or taken out without permission while it is processed, stored or transferred.
- Characteristics of the technology
Whether the target, such as a mobile app, an AI or LLM service or an embedded device, needs a validation method of its own.
How it runs
Where it helps, we work as a Scenario-Based Penetration Test.
Set the question
The condition to protect, and what it would mean if it failed.
Design conditions and method
We choose a method that fits the technology and business flow, and agree the accounts, environment and information it needs.
Agree safety conditions
Permitted and prohibited actions, stop conditions and the test environment are agreed before we start.
Validate
We check with the designed method and, where useful, follow a scenario to reproduce whether the condition breaks.
Explain the results
When the condition holds and when it breaks, with the evidence, impact and how to improve it.
What you receive
When it holds and when it fails
The conditions behind each case, set out separately.
Evidence
The steps and proof needed to reproduce what we found.
Improvement and what was not covered
How to improve, and which parts this design did not examine.
It does not replace a certification audit or legal advice. A re-test after fixes is agreed separately.
