Build a scope brief

Offensive security consulting

Find the path.
Prove the impact.

Penetration testing and adversary-informed assessments that turn exposed systems, trust boundaries, and real exploit chains into evidence engineering teams can act on.

How engagements run

Follow a typical assessment from scope to closure.

Each stage turns uncertainty into a useful artifact: an agreed scope, a testable map, controlled proof, fix-ready reporting, and a documented final state.

01 / scope

Define the test before touching the target.

Assets, roles, constraints, testing windows, accounts, stop conditions, and evidence rules become the shared starting point.

AI security testing

  • Prompt injection
  • Agent boundaries
  • AI authorization

Assessment of AI-enabled applications, LLM features, and agents: prompt-injection and tool-abuse paths, MCP and agent trust boundaries, retrieval data exposure, and authorization around AI-triggered actions.

Coverage

Coverage that shows its work.

The assessment starts with the real environment — assets, routes, roles, and trust boundaries — then turns that map into explicit test premises. Each premise closes with evidence: proven, refuted, or not applicable.

Surface class Mapped Premises Validated Evidence
Auth & session routes / roles drafted manual filed
Access control objects / tenants drafted manual filed
Injection & parsing inputs / formats class review n/a documented
Business logic workflows drafted in flight pending
Identity & infra edge boundaries drafted agreed scope filed
AI & agent workflows tools / trust flows abuse cases manual filed
AI & agent workflows

Where the target includes LLM features, agents, or MCP-style integrations, the same premise-driven method applies: threat-model the application around its model, tools, and data flows, then validate concrete abuse cases with evidence.

  • LLM app threat modeling
  • Prompt injection & tool abuse paths
  • Agent / MCP trust boundaries
  • Retrieval & data exposure
  • Authorization around AI actions
  • Abuse-case validation
  • Logging & evidence handling
Premises, not checklists

Each test is an explicit exploit premise tied to a mapped route, role, or trust boundary, then validated or refuted by hand.

Negative results are work

When a bug class does not apply or an attack fails, the attempt and the reasoning are recorded. A quiet report still shows what was tried.

Contained by design

Impact proofs run inside agreed stop conditions, carry a blast-radius note, and end with cleanup and a verified final state.

AI security

Security testing for AI-enabled applications.

Products that ship LLM features, agents, or MCP-style tool integrations get tested like any other attack surface: threat-model the workflow first, then validate concrete abuse cases with reproducible proof.

  • LLM application threat modeling
  • Prompt-injection and tool/plugin abuse paths
  • Agent and MCP trust boundaries
  • RAG and retrieval data exposure
  • Authorization around AI-triggered actions
  • Sensitive data in logs and evidence handling

Findings ship with remediation guidance across prompts, tool permissions, data boundaries, and monitoring — and a retest path once fixes land.

User & untrusted input prompts / files / upstream content
Model instruction hierarchy / injection handling
Tools & actions tool abuse paths / MCP scopes / side effects
Retrieval & data RAG exposure / tenant and source separation

Executive risk summary

Three decisions, not thirty pages of noise.

A leadership view connects verified attack paths to business impact, control priorities, and the decisions that unblock remediation.

Best fit

For teams that need defensible evidence across engineering and assurance.

Useful when a report must stand up to both technical review and assurance requirements.

Useful before launch, after major architecture changes, after acquisitions, or before customer security reviews.

Useful when leadership needs to know which exploitable paths matter first and why.
