Penetration Testing

Automated scanning can identify potential weaknesses, but it cannot reliably establish whether separate conditions combine into a viable attack path or what compromise would mean for the business. Unvalidated results can misdirect remediation, while authorization flaws, business-logic abuse and identity attack paths may remain undiscovered.

RAV defines objectives, targets, exclusions, testing windows and escalation contacts in formal rules of engagement. Testers map the approved attack surface and combine tool-assisted discovery with manual analysis. Depending on scope, testing can cover web applications, APIs, internal or external networks, cloud control planes and identity services. Exploitation is limited to what is necessary to validate risk, with safeguards for availability, sensitive data and third parties.

Each finding is supported by reproducible evidence, affected assets, attack prerequisites and a contextual severity assessment. Where appropriate, related weaknesses are assembled into attack paths to explain cumulative risk. The final report separates confirmed vulnerabilities from observations, recommends specific corrective actions and supports a retest of agreed findings after remediation. Testing provides point-in-time assurance within the approved scope, not a guarantee that every vulnerability is discovered.
