Is this a penetration test or an audit?

A penetration test targets running systems and demonstrates exploitability; an audit reads the source. We deliver both, and many engagements combine a code review with a penetration test of the deployed application.

Do you write proofs of concept?

Yes. Every exploitable finding includes a reproducible proof of concept. If we could not land a path, the report says so and explains what stopped us.

Can the report support a compliance requirement?

Yes. Penetration testing evidence is expected under SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, DORA, and PCI DSS. We structure the report so your compliance auditor can use it directly.

Penetration testing

Find exploitable weaknesses across web, mobile, APIs, cloud, and infrastructure before attackers do. Our penetration testing covers the off-chain components and applications that connect users to on-chain assets and AI systems.

Strengthening off-chain and application layers

Most Web3 and AI incidents do not start in the contract or the model. They start in a web application, an API, a cloud account, or a signing service around them. Penetration testing delivers an in-depth security assessment of those off-chain components and applications, using the same techniques a motivated attacker would.

We test against recognized standards, including the OWASP testing guides for web, API, and mobile, and prioritize the paths that lead to funds, keys, or model control. Every exploitable weakness is demonstrated, documented, and retested after you fix it.

What we test

Web applications and dashboards, including authentication, session handling, and authorization.
APIs and backend services that construct, sign, or relay transactions.
Mobile applications and browser extensions, including wallet integrations.
Cloud and infrastructure: identity and access, secrets handling, container and orchestration configuration, and CI/CD pipelines.
Signing flows, key custody services, and admin tooling.
AI-facing surfaces: model endpoints, tool-calling APIs, prompt and retrieval inputs, and the controls around them.

What a finding includes

The exploit path we took, written so your team can reproduce it, or the path that failed and why.
The root cause: a missing check, a trusted input, a misconfigured role.
Severity and impact using the definitions in our report format, with fix guidance.
A retest note once the fix is deployed.
