// How It Works

From first call to closed holes.

No account managers, full visibility at every step. Here's exactly what happens when you engage us.

/ A typical engagement at a glance
Day 0 · KickoffDay 3 · First bloodDay 14 · ReportDay 21 · Boardroom briefing

We onboard max 2 new pentest clients per week. The current cohort wave closes Friday: sign by Friday and you're in Monday's kickoff.

PHASE 01

Discovery Call & Scoping

A 25-minute call with an engineer, not a salesperson. We size your scope, then mirror your real deadline (the audit date, the contract signature, the insurance renewal) and tell you honestly whether we can make it.

25 minutes · engineer-led
PHASE 02

Booking the Slot

A slot-deposit reserves your place in the next fortnightly cohort. Sign by Friday and you are in Monday's kickoff.

Fortnightly cohort kickoffs
PHASE 03

Kickoff + Direct Line

We open a private Slack/Teams channel with the engineer who will actually hack you. No project manager in the middle; one is still around helping with logistics, but your questions go straight to the person holding the keyboard.

Direct Line · open from day one
PHASE 04

First Blood in 72 Hours

Within three days of kickoff we show you the first real finding: the writeup of an actual hole in your systems. You know early that the engagement is working.

First real finding ≤ 72 hours
PHASE 05

Active Testing, Zero-Noise Verification

Human-led testing of your attack surface. Every candidate finding is manually verified and shipped with a reproducible proof of concept: no scanner output, no false positives, no wasted engineering sprints.

0% false positives
PHASE 06

Readout + Zero-Noise Report + Auditor-Proof Evidence Pack

A live readout with your team, then the deliverables: the Zero-Noise Report (verified findings, reproduction steps, curl commands) and the Auditor-Proof Evidence Pack, with findings pre-mapped to the compliance framework of your choice (ISO 27001, GDPR, SOC 2, SIG Lite...) so procurement gets answers, not just a PDF.

PHASE 07

Boardroom Briefing

A live online recorded 20-minute non-technical walkthrough plus a one-page risk summary, built for executives and the board, so you never have to translate the report yourself.

Recorded · 20 min · board-ready
PHASE 08

Remediation Playbooks

Per-finding fix instructions written for your stack, so your engineers remediate in days instead of burning sprints on generic guidance.

Written for your stack
PHASE 09

The Plugged-Hole Guarantee

We retest every fix, free, within 6 months of your report. If a hole we reported is not closed, we keep testing until it is, at no charge.

Free retests for 6 months
