CREST Certified — Offensive Security

Find Weaknesses
Before Attackers Do.

SPS conducts rigorous vulnerability assessments and penetration tests across every layer of your attack surface — network, application, cloud, OT, and physical. Our CREST-certified red team thinks like an attacker so your defenses hold when it counts.

Full-Spectrum Attack Surface Coverage

🌐

Network Penetration Testing

External and internal network assessments targeting firewalls, routers, switches, VPNs, and segmentation controls. We simulate both internet-based attackers and malicious insiders.

  • External perimeter testing
  • Internal network lateral movement
  • Wi-Fi and wireless security
  • VPN and remote access assessment
  • Network segmentation validation
  • Firewall rule review and bypass attempts

💻

Web Application Testing

Manual and automated testing against web applications, APIs, and mobile backends. Full OWASP Top 10 coverage and beyond, including business logic flaws that automated scanners miss.

  • OWASP Top 10 and SANS 25 coverage
  • REST and GraphQL API security
  • Authentication and session management
  • Business logic vulnerability testing
  • SSRF, XXE, and injection attacks
  • OAuth 2.0 and JWT testing

Cloud Security Assessment

Comprehensive posture reviews for AWS, Azure, and GCP environments. We identify misconfigured services, exposed data, insecure IAM policies, and cloud-native attack paths.

  • IAM and privilege escalation paths
  • Storage bucket and blob exposure
  • Container and Kubernetes security
  • Serverless function security
  • Network security group reviews
  • Compliance posture vs CIS Benchmarks

Red Team Operations

Full-scope, multi-vector adversarial simulations over weeks or months. We simulate realistic nation-state and organized crime threat actors targeting your people, processes, and technology simultaneously.

  • Assumed breach and objective-based engagements
  • Social engineering and spear phishing campaigns
  • Physical security bypass and tailgating
  • C2 infrastructure and living-off-the-land techniques
  • Active Directory and Kerberos attacks
  • Crown jewel identification and exfiltration simulation

Mobile Application Testing

iOS and Android application security assessments covering client-side storage, communication security, authentication, and runtime tampering resistance.

  • Static and dynamic analysis (SAST/DAST)
  • Insecure data storage identification
  • Certificate pinning bypass testing
  • Root/jailbreak detection bypass
  • API communication security
  • OWASP Mobile Top 10 aligned

OT/ICS Security Assessment

Specialized assessments for operational technology environments in energy, utilities, and manufacturing. Passive monitoring and careful active testing that respects operational continuity.

  • SCADA and HMI vulnerability assessment
  • IT/OT segmentation verification
  • PLC and RTU security review
  • Industrial protocol analysis
  • Asset discovery and inventory
  • IEC 62443 compliance assessment

Methodology

How We Operate

Every SPS engagement follows a documented methodology aligned with PTES, OWASP Testing Guide, and NIST SP 800-115. Our approach is transparent, repeatable, and legally sound.

01

Scoping and Rules of Engagement

Define target systems, testing windows, emergency contacts, and explicit written authorization. All SPS engagements operate under signed MSA and SOW before any testing begins.

02

Reconnaissance and Intelligence Gathering

Passive and active OSINT collection. Technology fingerprinting, employee profiling for social engineering engagements, infrastructure enumeration, and attack surface mapping.

03

Vulnerability Discovery

Automated scanning combined with manual expert analysis. Automated tools catch the obvious; our analysts find the creative and contextual vulnerabilities that scanners miss entirely.

04

Exploitation and Impact Demonstration

Controlled exploitation of confirmed vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact — data exfiltration, credential harvesting, lateral movement, privilege escalation. No theoretical CVEs; real demonstrated access.

05

Reporting and Remediation Guidance

Executive summary for leadership plus technical deep-dives for developers and engineers. Every finding includes CVSS score, business risk context, step-by-step remediation, and verification criteria.

06

Free Retest and Verification

After you remediate, SPS returns to verify fixes at no additional charge within 90 days. We do not close an engagement until your critical findings are confirmed resolved.

Deliverables

What You Receive

  • Executive report — risk narrative for board and C-suite
  • Technical report — full findings with CVSS scores and evidence
  • Attack path diagrams — visual kill chains from initial access to crown jewels
  • Remediation roadmap — prioritized by risk and implementation effort
  • MITRE ATT&CK mapping — techniques observed during the engagement
  • Retest report — confirmation of remediated findings
  • Security awareness debrief — for affected teams (red team engagements)

FAQ

Common Questions

Duration depends on scope. A focused web application test typically runs 5 to 10 business days. An external network assessment takes 5 to 7 days. A full red team operation may span 4 to 8 weeks. We provide accurate timelines during scoping and never rush to meet arbitrary deadlines at the expense of thoroughness.
We design every engagement to minimize operational impact. Testing windows, rate limiting, and pre-agreed out-of-scope systems prevent disruption. For OT/ICS environments we use passive-first approaches. That said, penetration testing carries inherent risk — we document this clearly in our rules of engagement and maintain emergency contact protocols throughout.
Yes. Our team includes experienced security engineers who can assist with remediation planning, patch review, and technical implementation guidance. This is available as an add-on to any VAPT engagement. Additionally, all critical and high findings include detailed remediation guidance and free retesting within 90 days.
All client data is handled under strict NDA. Evidence collected during testing is stored in encrypted environments accessible only to the engagement team. Reports are delivered via encrypted file transfer. Data is retained only for the period specified in the contract and securely deleted thereafter. We never use client infrastructure or data for any purpose beyond the engagement.
A VAPT is a systematic, comprehensive assessment of a defined scope — it aims to find all vulnerabilities. A red team engagement is objective-based and adversarial — it aims to achieve a specific goal (e.g., access the billing database) using any available means, including social engineering and physical access, without necessarily testing everything. VAPT answers "what is vulnerable?" while red team answers "could a real attacker achieve their objective?"
