Process
Our Penetration Testing Methodology
Good testing starts with a good scope and a defined standard. Every Invadel engagement follows the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and relevant OWASP testing guides, applied consistently from scoping through reporting and retest: clear boundaries, fixed cost, no surprises.
- 01
Discovery call
We learn your environment, drivers, and constraints: whether the trigger is a customer requirement, a regulation, or a proactive security investment.
- 02
Scope definition
We define exactly what is in and out of scope: targets, environments, testing windows, rules of engagement, and success criteria, in writing.
- 03
Fixed proposal
You receive a clear, fixed-scope proposal with timeline and cost. No hourly surprises, no vague deliverables.
- 04
Execution
Our testers run the engagement following the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) and OWASP testing guides, with agreed communication checkpoints and immediate escalation of critical findings.
- 05
Reporting
You get an executive summary and detailed technical findings with reproduction steps, risk ratings, and prioritized remediation guidance.
- 06
Retest
After you remediate, we verify the fixes with a complimentary retest so you can prove the risk is actually closed.
Let’s define your scope.
A 30-minute call is usually enough to shape a first proposal.
