Offensive Security

Penetration Testing

Smartfind is your dedicated offensive security partner. Our penetration testing team simulates real-world attackers to safely prove how misconfigurations, logic flaws, and identity gaps can be chained into end-to-end attack paths. We focus on practical, exploitable risk and then work with your developers, DevOps, and security teams to close those gaps quickly and permanently.

What you get

Smartfind penetration testing is a goal-driven, attacker-style assessment that shows how individual weaknesses combine into meaningful business impact. Instead of handing you generic scanner output, we validate exploitable issues, demonstrate real attack paths, and translate them into a prioritized, engineering-ready remediation plan your teams can actually implement.

Business outcomes

Evidence for customers, audits, and leadership that security controls truly work
Clear remediation roadmap with retest validation and measurable risk reduction
Reduced breach likelihood tied to MTTR, defect density, and control maturity
Stronger security posture you can showcase in sales conversations and RFPs

Technical outcomes

Reproducible PoCs, detailed payloads, and screenshots for each finding
Concrete code/config-level fixes with references to OWASP, CIS, and vendor docs
Patterns and lessons learned that feed into secure SDLC guardrails and reviews
Signals that can be reused to tune SOC detections, WAF rules, and IAM policies

High-value use cases

Launch readiness

Validate authentication, authorization, secrets handling, and multi-tenant isolation before you expose new products or customer-facing features to the internet.

Regulatory evidence

Provide concrete artifacts for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI, and strict customer questionnaires, backed by Smartfind’s structured methodology and reporting.

Defense tuning

Feed verified findings into SIEM detections, WAF rules, EDR policies, and IAM hardening to continuously improve your SOC’s visibility and response.

Types of pentests

Web Applications

ASVS-aligned coverage for business logic, session handling, injection, SSRF, deserialization, file uploads, and more, tailored to your tech stack.

APIs & Microservices

BOLA/IDOR, rate limiting, schema validation, token misuse, mass assignment, and abuse of undocumented or legacy endpoints in modern API ecosystems.

Mobile (Android/iOS)

Local storage risks, certificate pinning bypasses, reverse engineering, unsafe APIs, and abuse flows across real-device and emulator-based testing.

Network / AD

Segmentation gaps, weak services, password spraying, Kerberoasting, and lateral movement paths across your on-prem and hybrid Active Directory.

Cloud & Identity

IAM privilege creep, exposed storage, misconfigured security groups, CI/CD secrets, and guardrail bypasses in AWS, Azure, GCP, and modern SaaS.

Wireless & Perimeter

Rogue APs, captive portal escapes, guest-to-corp pivoting, and external perimeter weaknesses that can be leveraged to gain an initial foothold.

Scope

Smartfind works with your security and engineering teams to co-define a clear, safe scope that balances depth of coverage with production stability. Every engagement is aligned to your assets, timelines, and risk appetite so testing is effective without causing disruption.

In scope

Target assets (domains, APIs, apps, networks, cloud workloads)
Access model (black/gray/white-box) and test accounts/creds if applicable
Allowed attack classes, rate limits, maintenance windows, and SLAs

Out of scope

Destructive payloads, DDoS, or stability-impacting stress tests
Social engineering unless explicitly requested and documented
3rd-party systems or vendors without written approval from owners

Methodology

1) Kickoff & Threat Model

Objectives, critical assets, abuse cases, business flows, risk tolerance, communication channels, and change windows are aligned with your stakeholders.
2) Recon & Mapping

Enumerate attack surfaces, components, identities, and trust boundaries, building an attacker-style mental model of how your environment fits together.
3) Exploitation & Validation

Execute controlled proof-of-concept attacks, validate impact, and avoid disruption through careful throttling, safe payloads, and constant communication.
4) Impact & Risk

Translate technical findings into business risk, mapping potential data exposure, fraud, compliance impact, and blast radius across your organization.
5) Remediation Guidance

Provide code/config recommendations, pairing with your developers and SREs where needed, and suggest guardrails to prevent regressions in CI/CD.
6) Retest & Closure

Verify implemented fixes, update statuses for auditors and customers, and close the loop with lessons learned for future architecture and feature design.

Representative tooling

Web/API: Burp Suite, ZAP, Postman, nuclei, custom Smartfind scripts
Mobile: Frida, Objection, MobSF, JADX, platform-specific tooling
Network/AD: nmap, BloodHound, Impacket, CME, password audit suites
Cloud: ScoutSuite, Prowler, Steampipe, CSP-native security services

Reporting & Evidence

What we deliver

Executive summary explaining business impact in clear, non-technical language
Technical report with reproducible steps, payloads, and screenshots
Risk-ranked findings with references to standards and best practices
CSV tracker or Jira-ready import file to plug into your existing workflows
Retest results letter suitable for customers, partners, and auditors

Risk rating rubric

Level	Definition
Critical	Unauthenticated compromise, full environment takeover, or broad customer impact
High	Authenticated compromise of sensitive data, admin abuse, or major fraud potential
Medium	Meaningful misuse requiring specific conditions, chaining, or limited access
Low	Hard-to-exploit or defense-in-depth issues that still inform long-term hardening

Typical Timeline

Phase	Duration	Activities
Prep & Access	1–3 days	Whitelisting, access, kickoff, and scope confirmation with Smartfind
Assessment	5–15 days	Testing window; interim updates for critical or blocking findings
Reporting	2–4 days	Draft report, technical review, and fact-checking with your team
Retest	2–7 days	Validate fixes, update statuses, and provide final sign-off artifacts

Pricing / Engagement Model

Essentials

1 primary target (e.g., core app or API)
Focused threat model and streamlined report
One round of retest for verified fixes

Growth

2–3 targets across apps, APIs, or cloud services
Deeper threat model, workshops, and pairing with engineers
Tracker integration (Jira/CSV) plus structured retest

Continuous

Quarterly or monthly testing windows for key assets
Ongoing hardening, advisory, and design-review support
Executive readouts for leadership and board updates

FAQs

Will testing impact production?

Smartfind designs tests to be safe for live environments. We throttle activity, coordinate maintenance windows, and avoid destructive payloads or stress tools that could impact stability.

Can you test in staging only?

Yes. We can focus on staging and, where necessary, recommend a small set of safe production checks to validate that configurations truly match what is deployed to customers.

Do you sign NDAs and DPAs?

Absolutely. Smartfind operates under mutual NDAs and can sign DPAs or security addendums required by your legal and compliance teams.

What artifacts do we receive?

You receive an executive summary, a detailed technical report, a tracker file (CSV/Jira), and a retest letter that you can share with customers, partners, and auditors.

How do you rate severity?

We rate severity based on a mix of technical impact and business context. CVSS is referenced, but we also consider exploitability, blast radius, and how the issue maps to your real risks.

Can you help fix findings?

Yes. Smartfind can pair with your developers and SREs on remediation, review pull requests or configuration changes, and suggest long-term guardrails for your SDLC.
