Penetration testing services your acquirer reads. and your auditor accepts.

Your auditor is right. A scanner finds the noise, the known signatures and obvious misconfigurations. A penetration test is senior engineers manually chaining bugs, testing authorisation logic, and finding the issues a tool can’t reason about. Our penetration testing services are manual-first and CREST-aligned, with a defined scope and methodology, which is what procurement and auditors actually accept.

You get an evidence-grade report: scope, methodology, every finding with a reproduction and a severity, a remediation roadmap, and a retest attestation once you ship the fixes. It maps to the controls in a SOC 2 or vendor security review. It’s the document procurement teams accept and acquirer CTOs read. Most of our clients attach it straight to the questionnaire and clear in days.

No. In thirty-one penetration tests since 2019 we’ve caused zero production incidents. We agree rules of engagement before we start, test against a staging mirror where that’s the right call, throttle destructive checks, and stay in close contact with your on-call. Safety is part of the scope, not an afterthought.

Yes, and it’s one of the most common reasons founders call us. AI-generated code ships with predictable holes: missing authorisation checks, no rate limits, no audit log, secrets in the wrong place. We run a production-readiness pen test, rank what we find, and hand you the fix list before your diligence or your first enterprise customer does.

We hand you a remediation roadmap, not a wall of problems. Every finding carries the exact fix and a severity, written by engineers who build production software for a living, so the advice is buildable. We’ll pair with your team through the fixes if you want it, then retest and attest the result. The retest is part of the engagement, not an upsell.

We’re a London studio and we keep your data in-region. Testing artefacts, evidence, and the report are handled under a signed DPA with SCCs for any cross-border processing. We’re happy to sign an NDA before you share a single endpoint. Data residency is part of the scope, and we put it in writing.

Yes. Many clients run an annual penetration test with us to satisfy SOC 2 and renew enterprise contracts, with a light advisory retainer in between for new surfaces and questions. The report maps to your controls and ships with a retest attestation each year. Notice is 30 days either way, and you can pause or resume any month with no lock-in.
