The last pentest report nobody acted on.
A thick PDF, generic CVE descriptions, severity that did not match your business. Findings stayed in the tracker; the next pentest found them again.
For engineering leaders
Penetration testing engineers actually trust.
A senior tester runs every engagement end-to-end. Every finding ships with a working proof, severity that maps to your risk model, and a paste-ready remediation an engineer can drop into a ticket — included in scope.
Is this the engagement you need?
You're probably here because of one of these.
Your engineers do not trust scanner output.
Authenticated authorization flaws, tenant isolation, business logic, chained issues — scanners cannot reason about any of it. You need a real person.
A customer security review is on the calendar.
Procurement expects a current third-party pentest report. Your team has not run one this year.
An audit deadline drives the engagement.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or HIPAA — your auditor expects a current penetration test as evidence and your engineering team owns the remediation.
You are scaling and want a real baseline.
Before the next product line ships, or before the next funding round, you want a current map of what an attacker would actually find.
If any of these are why you are reading this page, the rest of it is for you.
How an engagement runs
Four steps. No subcontractors. No surprises.
- STEP 01
Scoping call (30 minutes)
We walk your architecture, your auth model, your tenancy boundaries, and the surfaces you most want tested. You leave with a fixed scope, fixed price, a delivery date, and a written rules-of-engagement draft.
- STEP 02
Hands-on testing
A senior tester runs the engagement end-to-end. Live channel for questions from your team. Same-day disclosure if something critical surfaces. No subcontractors, no handoff to a junior after the contract is signed.
- STEP 03
Report your team will actually read
One document, three audiences. A board summary, a control-mapped executive section for auditors, and a developer section where every finding has steps, working evidence, severity in your business context, and a paste-ready remediation.
- STEP 04
Retest
After your team fixes the items in the report we retest them and update the report — included in scope. The version you share with auditors or customers reflects the post-fix state.
Honest answers to engineering-leader questions
Things engineering leaders ask before they hire us.
"Is this a real test or a glorified scanner run?"
A senior tester runs the engagement by hand. Scanners are used for breadth, but the findings that matter — authorization flaws, tenant isolation, business logic, chained exploits — come from a real person reasoning about your application. Sample reports available after the scoping call.
"Will my engineers actually trust the findings?"
Every finding includes the exact request, the response evidence, the conditions under which it reproduces, and a paste-ready remediation written for the language and framework you actually ship. Engineers do not have to translate the report into work.
"Can you handle our authentication, multi-tenancy, and roles?"
Yes. We test under real user contexts — anonymous, authenticated, role-shifted, and across tenant boundaries. We walk authorization at the resolver/endpoint level rather than guessing from the outside.
"We cannot have testing crash production."
Default to staging when one exists. Where production testing is necessary we agree on safe-testing rules with you up front, throttle activity, and keep a live channel open for the duration of the test.
"How fast can we onboard a pentest vendor?"
A signed NDA, signed scope, and signed rules of engagement is usually one to two weeks of paperwork. Testing typically starts the week after that. Total time from first call to delivered report is most often four to six weeks for a focused engagement.
A real story.
“Two earlier vendors handed us reports our engineers could not act on. CyberGuards' findings read like a senior engineer wrote them — exact requests, exact responses, severity that matched our actual risk model, remediations that named the framework and the file. The retest closed every reported item. Our team is going to ask for this vendor next year.”
For the budget owner
Bringing this to your CEO or CFO.
The engineering case for a pentest is one conversation. The budget conversation is another. Three things your leadership team needs to see before they sign.
Fixed scope, fixed price
Confirmed on the scoping call before any work starts. No hourly billing, no scope creep mid-engagement, no surprise change order to retest after fixes. One line item your finance team can budget against.
A report your CEO and CFO can read
One document, three audiences. A one-page board summary, an executive section with control mapping for compliance, and a developer section your team works from. Your leadership reads the first page; your engineers work from the third.
Talk to our customers before you sign
After the scoping call we can connect you to reference customers in a similar size and stage. Their security or engineering leader speaks directly to your leadership team — the diligence call before the diligence call.

Download Sample Pentest Findings: Four real findings, written for engineers. Four redacted, anonymized findings from real CyberGuards engagements — a critical IDOR, a high-severity SSRF, a JWT auth-bypass, and an information-disclosure header — presented exactly the way they appear in our client reports. Reproduction steps, working proof, severity rationale, and paste-ready remediation snippets per finding.
