Executive summary
A high-level view of the assessment and its risk implications.
02 / METHODOLOGY
Follow the attack path. Understand the risk.
A structured engagement connects testing evidence to clear findings and practical remediation.
- 01 / SCOPE
Scope & planning
Establish the environment, objectives, and testing boundaries. Make in-scope and out-of-scope activities explicit.
- 02 / TEST
Testing & analysis
Follow realistic adversary behavior and investigate connected attack paths. Validate findings with supporting evidence.
- 03 / REPORT
Reporting & findings
Review risk-ranked findings, exploit paths, and control mappings alongside an executive summary.
- 04 / REMEDIATE
Remediation guidance
Use practical recommendations to decide what needs attention and plan improvements.
DELIVERABLES
