The Process

This initial phase is the most critical for a successful engagement. Its purpose is to ensure our technical analysis is precisely aligned with your business objectives and most significant risks. We begin with a collaborative kick-off call to understand your technology stack, your commercial goals, and any specific security concerns you have. We then work with your team to identify the key assets for review—be it a core application, a new AI feature, or your primary cloud environment. This phase concludes with a secure review of your existing architecture diagrams and documentation, establishing a solid foundation for the deep technical analysis to follow.

Here, we adopt the “Architect’s Blueprint” perspective. Our analysis begins at the foundation of your system, as this is where the most impactful and often overlooked risks reside. We conduct a deep review of your cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure), focusing on Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies, network configurations (VPCs, security groups), logging practices, and data-at-rest/in-transit encryption. We assess your high-level system design and data flow diagrams to identify architectural patterns that may violate security principles or limit future scalability. This phase is designed to find systemic flaws, not just simple bugs.

In this phase, we switch to the “Hacker’s Mindset.” We perform targeted, manual analysis of your applications and APIs to uncover specific vulnerabilities that automated tools will always miss. Our review goes beyond the standard OWASP Top 10 to probe for complex business logic flaws—the kind of vulnerabilities that could allow for financial fraud or unauthorized data access unique to your application. For AI systems, we conduct a high-level assessment of the model’s architecture and data pipelines for risks such as data privacy leaks, model evasion, and potential for adversarial attacks.

The conclusion of our process is not a confusing data dump, but a clear path forward. You will receive a comprehensive security report containing two key sections: a high-level executive summary for leadership, and a detailed technical breakdown for your development team. Every finding is assigned a clear risk rating (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and is accompanied by prioritized, actionable recommendations for remediation. The engagement concludes with a strategic debrief session, where we walk your team through the findings to ensure everyone understands the risks and is equipped to implement the solutions.
