A careful process — explained simply.
We start knowing nothing about your system, the same way an outsider would, and work through the same seven steps every time. Here’s what that looks like — no technical background needed.
From a blank slate to a clear report.
- 01
We learn how your software is built
First we map out how your system works and where your clients’ information is stored — starting with no assumptions.
- 02
We map every door and window
We catalog every page and every place information comes in or out — the way a security expert maps every entrance to a building.
- 03
We look for stray keys
We search for passwords and access keys that may have been left exposed where an outsider could find and use them.
- 04
We test the locks
We check whether each “locked” area is truly protected by the system — or just hidden on the screen where a determined person could still get in.
- 05
We safely try to get in
Using test accounts we create, we attempt exactly what an intruder would: reaching records we shouldn’t be able to see — without ever touching real client data.
- 06
We report in plain English
You get a clear report: what we found, how serious each issue is, and how to fix it — written for people, not just programmers.
- 07
We double-check nothing was missed
Before we finish, we run your results through a complete checklist of the ways software gets breached, so nothing slips through.
How we keep your clients’ data safe while we test.
These are the ground rules we never break — on every job, no exceptions.
We never change your real data
We only look — we never alter or delete anything in your live system. Any test that could change something is done on a separate copy, never on the software your team uses.
We never open a real client’s record
We prove a weakness exists without ever pulling up a real person’s file. Your customers’ information is never exposed while we test.
We use our own test accounts
Every test runs with logins we create, so anything we reach is our own test information — never a real client’s.
We test what’s really there, not just what you see
The screen can say one thing while the system quietly does another. We test what your software actually does behind the scenes.
A locked-looking screen isn’t security
Hiding a button or greying out a field doesn’t protect anything. We confirm the system itself enforces the rule, so a curious or malicious user can’t simply walk around it.
Every issue, rated so you know what to fix first.
You don’t need to be technical to read our report. Each problem is graded by how serious it is, so you and your team know exactly where to start.
- CriticalFix right away — private data is exposed as things stand today.
- HighFix soon — a serious weakness with real risk of exposure.
- MediumWorth fixing — lower risk, but still a gap to close.
- LowMinor — a small tune-up when you have time.
- SafeWorking as it should — we checked, and there’s nothing to do.
We don’t stop until we’ve checked everything.
Before we finish, we run your results through a complete checklist of the ways software gets breached, and double-check our own work. If anything is incomplete, the job isn’t done. You get a finished, thorough answer — not a rushed one.
