How a pen-test runs

Our Penetration Testing Methodology

Six phases from kickoff to remediation review. Standard application or infrastructure engagements complete in two weeks; red-team programmes run four to eight depending on goals.

  • Phase 01Reconnaissance

    Reconnaissance & Intelligence

    Passive and active intelligence gathering against the in-scope estate: public OSINT, DNS / subdomain enumeration, technology fingerprinting, exposed credential review, and dark-web exposure checks.

    • Attack-surface inventory
    • OSINT exposure brief
    • Technology fingerprint map
  • Phase 02Scoping

    Scoping & Rules of Engagement

    Asset confirmation, in-scope / out-of-scope definition, escalation criteria, and named-tester assignment. Rules of engagement are signed before any traffic is generated against client systems.

    • Signed RoE document
    • Communication channel set up
    • Tester nameplate issued
  • Phase 03Vulnerability

    Vulnerability Analysis

    Authenticated and unauthenticated discovery: automated scanning paired with manual verification. Every finding is triaged for false positives and chained against business-logic context before it ever lands in a report.

    • Verified finding register
    • CVSS-scored severity matrix
    • Exploit-chain hypothesis map
  • Phase 04Exploitation

    Exploitation & Lateral Movement

    Human-led exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities. Daily check-ins; critical findings escalated within four working hours. Lateral-movement chains are pursued to demonstrate true business impact, not theoretical risk.

    • Exploit evidence captures
    • Chained-finding analysis
    • Daily progress digests
  • Phase 05Post-Exploitation

    Post-Exploitation & Impact

    Demonstrate data-exfiltration, persistence, and privilege-escalation outcomes. Detection and response timings logged when blue-team coordination is in scope, so SOC effectiveness becomes a measurable artefact.

    • Impact demonstration video
    • Detection-time telemetry
    • Sanitised exploit artefacts
  • Phase 06Reporting

    Reporting & Remediation Review

    Written report within five working days of test end: every finding with reproduction steps, business-impact framing, and a code-level or config-level fix. Live debrief plus a thirty-day remediation-review window.

    • PDF + Markdown report
    • Executive + technical debrief
    • 30-day remediation review
The difference we bring

Coverage built for every layer of your estate

Partner with offensive engineers who think like attackers and report like architects.

We team senior pen-testers with CREST CRT, OSCP, OSCE, and OSEP credentials against your full attack surface: apps, networks, cloud, identity, and people. The output is not scanner exhaust dressed as findings; it is a remediation runbook your engineers can execute against, mapped to the regulatory frame you are answering to.

  • Senior-only testers, named on every engagement
  • Reports mapped to FCA, PRA, HIPAA, and PCI DSS
  • 30-day post-report remediation advisory included

Our engagement workflow

Seven stages from first call to ongoing support

Every engagement walks the same path, sized to your problem, but with the same verification gates baked in.

  • Phase 01

    Discovery

    Two-week paid sprint. Architect-led. Output: regulator map, costed roadmap, signed scope.

  • Phase 02

    Planning

    Pod composition, sequenced milestones, change-control governance, and risk register.

  • Phase 03

    Design

    Reference architecture, threat model, design system, and acceptance criteria locked.

  • Phase 04

    Development

    Weekly demos, trunk-based, CI/CD from day one. Code reviewed against spec at every gate.

  • Phase 05

    Testing

    Unit, integration, e2e, security, performance, and accessibility, automated and gated.

  • Phase 06

    Deployment

    Blue-green or canary, observability live before launch, rollback rehearsed.

  • Phase 07

    Support

    Managed services or hypercare hand-off. Defined SLOs, named on-call, monthly reviews.

Why teams choose BritonOne Technology

Four reasons enterprise buyers come back

We don't compete on lowest day-rate. We compete on shipped outcomes inside environments that have to clear audit.

Senior-only delivery

Every engineer on every engagement is at least senior, typically eight to fifteen years deep in their craft. No bench rotations, no junior pyramid hidden behind a glossy proposal, no bait-and-switch after contract signature. The architect who scoped your engagement is the same person committing code by week three.

Audit-ready by default

FCA, PRA, EBA, BaFin, FINMA, HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II: every framework we work under is treated as a design constraint from day one, not a final-stage gate. Evidence trails, model-risk packs, change-control artefacts, and pen-test reports ship alongside the code, ready for second-line review without a remediation sprint.

Anti-drift delivery discipline

Small pods of three to seven engineers, each with a named delivery lead who owns scope, schedule, and outcomes from kickoff to hand-off, never a faceless team you have to chase for an answer. Weekly demos run against the signed scope, frequent verification gates catch regressions early, and quarterly outcome reviews measure real progress against the original business case rather than a moving target. Together those rituals catch scope drift before it has any chance to compound, so programmes that should take six months don't quietly stretch into eighteen, budgets stay anchored to what was agreed, and every milestone ships with a written, testable definition of done that both sides sign off before we move on.

Long-tail support beyond hand-off

We don't disappear the moment the engagement closes. Managed services, hypercare windows, named on-call rotations, or quarterly health checks: pick the depth that matches your operational risk profile. About seventy percent of clients return for a second programme, usually because the team that shipped the first one is still on the other end of the page.

Client Satisfaction Reviews

Words from the teams we have shipped with.

Anonymous under MNDA. Each quote is from a senior buyer who owned the engagement end to end across the services catalogue.

One Team Replacing Two Vendors

BritonOne Technology replaced two of our incumbent vendors with one team. Faster sprints, fewer status meetings, more code shipped per week.

Common pre-engagement questions

Things buyers ask before picking the first service

Frequently asked questions

Yes, and most engagements do. A typical programme bundles two or three services (for example, cloud migration + cloud security + managed ops, or AI consulting + generative AI + data analytics). One statement of work, one delivery lead, one invoice, one accountable line.
