Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from a vulnerability scan?
- A scan lists findings; we manually verify and chain them to show real, exploitable impact — with evidence you can reproduce.
- Will it disrupt production?
- No. Scope and rules of engagement are agreed before we start, with clear escalation if anything sensitive surfaces.
- Do we get something our auditor and board will both accept?
- Yes — the Engagement Brief covers technical, executive, and remediation audiences in one consistent deliverable.
Bring us the system you’re worried about and the deadline you’re working to — we’ll scope the test around both.
