Methodology

Discover → Attack → Validate

Finding a vulnerability is only the beginning. We validate what happens when that vulnerability becomes an attack.
  1. 01DISCOVER

    Map the attack surface, architecture, assets, identities, applications, and exposed services.

    Output Asset and exposure map

  2. 02ATTACK

    Simulate realistic attack paths using controlled offensive security techniques.

    Output Reproduced attack paths

  3. 03VALIDATE

    Measure whether defensive controls prevent, detect, respond to, contain, and recover from the attack.

    Output Control effectiveness verdicts

Validation lifecycle

What gets measured.

The validate step measures each phase of the attack: whether a control blocked it, whether anyone saw it, how fast they acted, how far it spread, and how long recovery took.

  1. ATTACKControlled adversary action is executed.

    MeasuresTechnique executed

  2. PREVENTDid a control block the path?

    MeasuresBlock or bypass

  3. DETECTWas the action observed and alerted on?

    MeasuresTime to detect

  4. RESPONDDid the right team act on it?

    MeasuresTime to respond

  5. CONTAINWas the impact kept from spreading?

    MeasuresBlast radius

  6. RECOVERWere safe operations restored?

    MeasuresTime to restore

Engage

Put your controls under test.

Tell us what needs to be validated. We reply with scoping questions, rules of engagement, and an NDA before any testing.
