Testing Phases
Methodology Approach
Our rigorous four-stage framework ensures comprehensive coverage, eliminates false positives, and delivers actionable, business-centric remediation strategies.
ACME Consulting performed the penetration testing using a proven, four-phase methodology. The primary purpose of this approach is to identify and validate as many business-critical vulnerabilities as possible within the defined scope of this engagement.
In addition to active exploitation, we collected all relevant vulnerabilities, meticulously eliminated false positives, and mapped the remaining findings to the corresponding information security controls currently implemented by the company. This allows us to accurately evaluate the real-world effectiveness of your preventative and detective defense mechanisms.
Intelligence Gathering
Gather as much information as possible to be utilized when penetrating the target during the active exploitation phases.
Threat Modeling
Identify, enumerate, and prioritize potential attack vectors and vulnerabilities entirely from an attacker's point of view.
Vulnerability Analysis
Discover flaws in systems, services, and applications which can be actively leveraged and exploited by an attacker.
Reporting
Document findings, provide remediation strategies, and deliver actionable recommendations to secure the environment.
