  • Recurring phishing awareness and resilience program.

Penetration tests

1. Penetration tests for IT infrastructure

We test the IT infrastructure in the authorized domain: servers, networks, VPNs and internal and external services. We analyze vulnerabilities and exploitability within the agreed limits to document the exposure and impact on the evaluated systems.

Deliverables: pentest technical report, executive summary, list of CVSS classified vulnerabilities, remediation recommendations, and results presentation session.

Collaboration model: project with defined assets, methodology, depth and exclusions. The audit of network configurations and controls and the analysis of the external attack surface have distinct objectives and areas.

2. Penetration testing for web applications and APIs

We test the security of web applications and APIs, including authentication, authorization, session management, technical vulnerabilities, and business logic. Checks track the applications, interfaces, roles, and environments included in the project.

Deliverables: web/API pentest technical report, executive summary, exploit proofs for critical vulnerabilities, remediation and retest recommendations included.

Collaboration model: project. One retest verifies the remediation of findings in the field and conditions established for the service. The documentary evaluation of application security and the recurring AppSec program are defined distinctly.

3. Penetration tests for iOS/Android mobile apps

We test native and hybrid mobile apps for iOS and Android. We analyze communication, data storage, authentication, traffic, and binaries to identify security issues in agreed apps and versions.

Deliverables: mobile pentest technical report, executive summary, binary analysis, and remediation recommendations.

Collaboration model: project with defined applications, versions, environments, and test limits, including exclusions. Testing of backend services and APIs is specified in the project scope.

Application and cloud security

4. Application Security Managed — SAST/DAST/SCA

We provide a recurring application security program tailored to the development cycle. Activities include static code analysis (SAST), dynamic testing (DAST), and analysis of open-source components and dependencies (SCA). We track findings and remediation status for included applications and code branches.

Deliverables: monthly SAST/DAST/SCA report, executive summary, follow-up of fixes, register of analyzed units and service coverage and, optionally, integration into CI/CD.

Collaboration model: recurring service, monthly or per sprint. The applications, frequency, analysis criteria and limits of integration in CI/CD are agreed for the program. The web/API pentest and the documentary evaluation of applications have distinct objectives and methods.

5. Cloud Security Assessment

We technically assess the security of the AWS, Azure, and GCP infrastructures included in the project. The analysis tracks configurations, identities and access, network security, and data protection stored and in transit. We document configuration differences and measures needed to reduce exposure.

Deliverables: Cloud Security Assessment report, configuration gap analysis, and prioritized remediation plan.

Collaboration model: project with defined accounts, regions and cloud services. The activities are carried out by the Safetech team, with the support of specialized cloud partners, depending on the project requirements. The audit of cloud controls has a distinct domain.

The human factor

6. Spot simulation of social engineering and phishing

We run a one-off campaign to simulate social engineering attacks. Scenarios may include email phishing, phone vishing, interaction pretexts, and, when explicitly authorized, physical access testing. We assess the response of the included population and identify training needs.

Deliverables: campaign report, click-through and simulated engagement statistics, user exposure profiles, and training recommendations.

Collaboration model: project with population, duration, scenarios and defined limits. Indicators and measurement criteria are agreed before the campaign. To track progress over time, the recurring phishing awareness and resilience program is available.

7. Recurring phishing awareness and resilience program

We develop a recurring program that combines adaptive training with phishing simulations, message smishing and phone vishing, as well as management exercises. The learning modules and campaigns are correlated with the program’s objectives and observed results.

Deliverables: recurring phishing campaigns, e-learning modules, monthly report with performance indicators and annual management exercise.

Collaboration model: recurring service, with monthly or quarterly activities. The scope, frequency of simulations and trainings, and measured indicators are defined for the program. Reporting may include comparisons over time according to the agreed domain. General cybersecurity training and one-off simulation campaign are distinct services.

Collaboration mode and service parameters

Methodology used for security testing

We adapt the methodology to the selected service and the evaluated environment. Depending on the project, we use references such as OWASP for applications, PTES and OSSTMM for infrastructure testing or CIS Benchmarks and CSA CCM for cloud assessments.

Domain definition and authorization

We set the goals, assets, apps, accounts, scenarios, and environments included. We agree on privacy terms, work windows, contacts, limits and exclusions, and conditions for stopping or adjusting checks.
For penetration tests, the approach can be black box, with limited initial information, grey box, with access and partial information, or white box, with extensive access to relevant information. The choice follows the objectives of the project and the authorized level of access.

Execution of checks

We carry out the agreed activities and correlate the results of the tools with the analysis of specialists. Vulnerability scanning can be a testing stage, and the findings are validated according to the methods and limits of the service.

The internal STP platform — Security Testing Platform — supports the management of test projects and reporting. In AppSec programs we use selected tools for agreed technologies and coverage. For phishing simulations and awareness programs we can use the Safetech, ThreatEcho and Awakness.io platform, depending on the requirements of the program.

Reporting and presentation of results

We document the checks carried out, the findings, the risks and the remedial recommendations. We explain the results of the responsible teams and the management, according to the deliverables of the chosen service.

Support for remediation and retesting

We clarify the findings and recommendations to support the planning of the measures. The retest verifies the remediation of the included problems, under the conditions set for the project.

Deliverables, remediation and retest

Each service includes the deliverables presented in its description. The minimum content of the reports, the coverage of the checks, the classification criteria and the acceptance conditions are established before the start of the activities.

The pentest for web applications and APIs includes retesting. For the other services, the retest activities, remediation verification and any additional evaluations are determined in the agreed area. In recurring programs, the frequency of analysis and the way of tracking remedies are defined for each collaboration.

For dedicated scanning and continuous vulnerability management, you can consult the Vulnerability Management services. For controlled validation of protection, detection and response through attack scenarios, the Breach and Attack Simulation service is available.
