How every service is delivered

One discipline runs beneath all of it.

Whichever line you engage, the method is the same: a written scope, real-world testing, a report your own team can act on, and a retest to prove the fix. No line item is a black box.

  • A
    Written before we begin

    Rules of engagement, systems in scope, and test windows are signed off — so you always know what is happening and when.

  • B
    Tested the way an adversary would

    Manual exploitation, not just an automated scan — credential attacks, misconfigurations, and known ransomware footholds.

  • C
    Reported in plain language

    Each finding is ranked by exploitability and business impact, with reproduction steps and a remediation path.

  • D
    Proven closed

    Critical and high items are retested at no extra charge to confirm the door is actually shut.

Kept on standing recall

Three depths of ongoing cover.

Most clients begin with a fixed-scope engagement and move to a retainer once they see the surface they were carrying. Choose the depth that fits your risk.

Before you engage

The questions we're asked most.

Straight answers on scope, price, and what a test does to a business that has never had one.

Will testing take our systems down?

No. Every engagement runs inside agreed test windows with rules of engagement signed in advance. We flag any high-risk action before it runs, and destructive testing is never performed without explicit, written consent for that specific step.

We're only fourteen people. Are we too small?

A breach checks whether the door was locked, not the size of the payroll. The bulk of ransomware losses land on businesses under a hundred staff. Our fixed-scope assessments are built for exactly that size — a clear starting price and a report your existing IT support can act on.

How is the final price set?

The figures on this page are typical starting points. We hold a short scoping call, count the systems genuinely in play, and quote a fixed price before any work begins. You are never billed for hours spent scanning systems that were never in scope.

What do we actually receive at the end?

A findings report led by a plain-language executive summary, then every issue ranked by exploitability and business impact with reproduction steps and a remediation path. It maps to the questions on common cyber-liability questionnaires, and includes one retest of critical and high items.

How quickly can you start — and how long does it take?

Scoping is typically a one-week intake. A fixed-scope assessment is delivered in three to four weeks, with the findings report inside ten business days of testing. An active incident is different — for that, call the line, don't wait on a form.

What happens to our data and findings afterward?

A mutual NDA precedes every engagement. Test data, credentials, and findings are held under a documented retention and destruction policy and removed on the agreed schedule once the work closes.

Not sure which line you need?

Most engagements start with one scoping call.
