    A practitioner, not a salesperson, walks through targets, constraints and what a good outcome looks like for you.

    A fixed-scope proposal with tier, price and deliverables. Rules of engagement, contacts and out-of-bounds systems are agreed in writing.

    MSA and SOW are signed electronically and the deposit is paid. Only then does testing begin.

    Execution

    Testing runs to the agreed plan. Critical findings are escalated as they are found; you don't wait for the report.

  5. 05

    Report & debrief

    An executive summary plus technical findings with evidence, reproduction steps and fixes, walked through with your team.

  6. 06

    Retest

    Where the tier includes it, we verify your fixes and reissue the report, so auditors and customers see the issues closed.

Timelines are set per engagement in the SOW.
