Cybersecurity audit: think like an attacker.
Turn cyber exposure into price protection, SPA clauses or closing conditions. The most honest way to evaluate a target's security is to approach it the way an attacker would: our audit simulates the attack path and reports what it finds in deal terms.
How the audit works
Using black box and grey box methodologies, the audit follows the stages of a real intrusion attempt, within a controlled and agreed perimeter.
- Scanning: static and dynamic analysis to surface vulnerabilities
- Gaining access: controlled exploitation, including techniques such as SQL injection
- Maintaining access: testing whether a persistent connection could be established
What it changes in the deal
Security findings are weighed for materiality: exposure of customer data, regulatory consequences, remediation cost and timeline. The report states which findings should move price or protections and which are routine hygiene.
This protects customer expectations, informs the investment decision and strengthens investor trust in the asset.
Frequently asked questions
Vulnerability scanning (static and dynamic), controlled penetration testing under black box and grey box methodologies, and an expert-validated risk evaluation written in deal terms.
Testing runs within a perimeter agreed with the target, with controlled techniques and rollback discipline. The goal is evidence of exploitability, never disruption.
Material findings translate into price adjustments, SPA protections, escrow conditions or remediation plans. The report maps each finding to its deal implication.
