05 — FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

What is penetration testing?

A simulated cyberattack by skilled security professionals to find exploitable vulnerabilities before real attackers do. Unlike automated scans, manual pentesting uncovers business-logic flaws and chained attack paths that tools miss entirely.

How often should penetration testing be performed?

At minimum, annually — or when you ship major features, onboard enterprise customers, pursue SOC 2 / ISO 27001, or after a breach. Teams shipping continuously benefit most from our On-Demand engagement model.

What is included in a penetration testing report?

Every engagement delivers a prioritized security report including:

Identified vulnerabilities with CVSS severity classification
Business and technical impact analysis
Proof of exploitation with screenshots & PoC
Clear, actionable remediation steps
Secure portal to track findings and fixes

How long does a penetration test take?

Basic engagements are delivered in 10–15 business days from kickoff. We agree on scope and timeline upfront — no surprises, no scope creep.

Why choose hacker-driven testing over automated scans?

Automated scanners find known CVEs. Real attackers chain IDOR vulnerabilities, logic flaws, and misconfigurations that no scanner has a signature for. Our team thinks like adversaries — because we're recognized by them as peers.
