"A prospect asked for our last pentest report. We didn't have one. The deal stalled."
Customer security questionnaires expect a current pentest report. Without one, deals slow at procurement.
Penetration testing, done properly
Stop losing deals because you don't have a current pentest report.
Hands-on penetration testing for SaaS, fintech, and healthcare teams. A real test, a report engineers can act on, and a retest of reported findings after you fix things — included in scope.
Reply within one business day. Most scoping calls happen the same week.

The five conversations
You're probably here because of one of these.
Most security buying decisions trace back to one of these five sentences. We built our engagements to answer them.
"Our SOC 2 audit is eight weeks out and pentest is on the control list."
SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA all expect periodic penetration testing. The window closes faster than teams plan for.
"The last vendor handed us a sixty-page PDF nobody on the team could act on."
Findings without a working proof, a clear severity, and a fix engineers can paste into a ticket are findings nobody fixes.
"Our scanner says we're clean. We don't actually know if an attacker would get in."
Scanners miss authorization flaws, business-logic bugs, and chained vulnerabilities — the issues attackers prefer.
"The board is asking what our cyber posture looks like. We don't have a credible answer."
Boards want a short, defensible summary of what was tested, what was found, and what was fixed.
How an engagement works
Four steps. No surprises. A report your team will actually use.
- STEP 01
Scoping call
Thirty minutes. We learn what you ship and what would hurt you most. You leave with a fixed scope, price, and date.
- STEP 02
Hands-on testing
A senior tester runs the engagement end-to-end. Live channel for questions, evidence on the spot for critical findings.
- STEP 03
Report you will read
Every finding has a working proof, a clear severity, and a remediation an engineer can paste into a ticket. Plus a one-page board summary.
- STEP 04
Retest
After you fix things we retest the affected items and update the report — included in scope.
What we test
See all services → Eight engagements built around the things that actually break.
Web application testing
Manual testing across OWASP Top 10 and the business-logic flaws scanners miss.
Read moreAPI testing
REST, GraphQL, and webhook surfaces — auth, IDORs, rate limits, and tenant isolation.
Read moreNetwork and cloud
External and internal network testing, plus AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration review.
Read moreAuthenticated testing
Real users, real roles, real privilege boundaries. The kind of testing actual breaches resemble.
Read moreRed team operations
Multi-stage adversary simulation that tells you whether you would notice an intrusion in progress.
Read moreAI security testing
For teams shipping LLM features: prompt injection, data leakage, model abuse, and tool-use risks.
Read moreCompliance pentest
Reports mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, and HIPAA controls so auditors get what they need.
Read moreVulnerability scanning
Continuous scanning paired with human triage so your team only sees real, prioritized findings.

Why customers come back
Customer quote
“Two prior vendors handed us a thick PDF and disappeared. CyberGuards walked our engineers through every finding, gave us a working proof for each one, and the retest landed before the audit window opened.”
Honest answers to honest concerns
Things teams say before they hire us.
We are too small for a real pentest.
If customers are asking for a security review, you are the right size. Most smaller engagements cover one web app and an API in two to three weeks.
We already run scanners.
Good. Scanners catch the easy bugs. We focus on what they miss — broken authorization, tenant isolation, business logic, and chained flaws.
We need this before our audit deadline.
Tell us the deadline on the scoping call. We sequence engagements so the report and retest land before audit field work begins.
We do not want a 60-page PDF.
Neither do we. One page for the board, an executive section for auditors, and a developer section engineers can act on directly.
FAQ
Common questions
What is a penetration test?
A penetration test is a hands-on security assessment where qualified testers attempt to find and safely exploit vulnerabilities in your application, API, network, or cloud account, then write up what they found and how to fix it. It is different from a vulnerability scan because a real person reasons about your business logic and chains issues together the way an attacker would.
How long does an engagement take?
Most web application or API engagements run two to three weeks of testing plus a week of reporting. Larger network or red team engagements run four to six weeks. We confirm the timeline on the scoping call and commit to a delivery date.
Will testing affect production?
We default to a staging environment when one exists. Where production testing is necessary we agree on safe-testing rules with you up front, throttle activity, and stay reachable on a shared channel for the duration of the test.
Do you provide a retest after we fix issues?
Yes. A retest of the items in the report is included in the engagement at no extra cost. The report is updated to reflect the fixes so the version you share with customers and auditors is accurate.
Will the report satisfy a SOC 2, ISO 27001, PCI DSS, or HIPAA auditor?
Reports include a control-mapping section that ties each finding to the relevant SOC 2 trust criteria, ISO 27001 Annex A control, PCI DSS requirement, or HIPAA safeguard. Our clients consistently use these reports as audit evidence without rework.
Who actually does the testing?
A senior tester with hands-on experience leads every engagement. Engagements are run in-house — we do not subcontract testing to third parties. You will know who is on your engagement before we start.
Want a credible answer to: are we secure?
A 30-minute review with our lead pentester. No slides, no pitch — we look at what you have, tell you what we would test first, and give you a fair scope and timeline.
