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.

  1. 01

    Discovery call

    We learn your environment, drivers, and constraints: whether the trigger is a customer requirement, a regulation, or a proactive security investment.

  2. 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.

  3. 03

    Fixed proposal

    You receive a clear, fixed-scope proposal with timeline and cost. No hourly surprises, no vague deliverables.

  4. 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.

  5. 05

    Reporting

    You get an executive summary and detailed technical findings with reproduction steps, risk ratings, and prioritized remediation guidance.

  6. 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.
