What's inside this engagement

Phase by phase.

How a security assessment engagement runs, what happens in each phase and what you see. Exact scope, tier and timeline are fixed in your proposal and SOW.

  1. 01Scoping

    Systems, sites, stakeholders and the question the assessment must answer.

    You see · Your objectives and constraints.

  2. 02Discovery & evidence

    Documents, configurations and interviews, plus technical testing where the service includes it.

    You see · Access and time with key people.

  3. 03Analysis

    Findings rated by risk to your business, not by a generic score.

    You see · A prioritized view of your risk.

  4. 04Report & debrief

    Executive summary, findings and a remediation roadmap, walked through with your team.

    You see · The report and the debrief.

Commercials

From first call to final report.

  1. 01

    Scoping call

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

  2. 02

    Proposal & rules of engagement

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

  3. 03

    Sign, then start

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

  4. 04

    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.

GPUThor and the Unpatchable Layer: When Your AI Infrastructure Risk Is Silicon, Not Software

University of Toronto researchers demonstrated a Rowhammer attack that defeats on-die ECC on NVIDIA workstation GPUs and reaches host root in about 1.1 minutes, down from roughly 22 hours. No software patch is possible, and the proof of concept is scheduled for November 15. Paired with NVIDIA's NemoClaw DNS-rebinding flaw, it defines the hardware boundary of AI infrastructure risk.

A Tale of Two SOCs: CISA Ran the Same Attack Against Two Organizations. One Caught It in Two Minutes. One Never Saw It.

CISA advisory AA26-237A, published August 25, 2026, documents red team assessments against two critical infrastructure organizations using comparable tradecraft. Organization B isolated hosts in 2 to 20 minutes. Organization A was fully compromised — domain, cloud, and the security team's own communications — and detected nothing. CISA attributes the gap to people and process, not tooling. That finding should change how you spend.

"Not a Theoretical Risk": Five Agencies Confirm AI Is Writing the Exploits Hitting Siemens S7 PLCs

On August 19, 2026, NSA, CISA, FBI, DOE, and EPA issued joint advisory AA26-231A on active targeting of Siemens S7 PLCs across six critical infrastructure sectors. The technical novelty is not the exploit — S7comm has been weakly authenticated for years. It is that AI-assisted scripting has collapsed the OT expertise barrier that was doing most of the defending. Here is what changes and what to do about it.
