PENETRATION TESTING · ADVERSARIAL SIMULATION

Simulate compromise.Find the real attack path.Exploit before attackers do.

Our penetration tests go beyond automated scans — executing manual exploit chains, business logic abuse, and lateral movement simulations to surface vulnerabilities that scanners will never find.

Penetration Testing Overview

Real exploitation.
Real business impact.

Our engagements simulate real-world attacker behaviour against your applications, infrastructure, APIs and cloud environments — uncovering exploitable paths that automated scanners miss by design.

The Spakto Offensive Platform

One platform.
Four offensive disciplines.

PTaaS, EASM, CAASM, and BAS — unified under a single engagement layer with continuous retesting, live dashboards and compliance-mapped reporting.

PTAAS · Spakto Platform

Penetration Testing as a Service

Continuous offensive validation at enterprise scale

Ongoing adversarial testing embedded into your security programme — not a one-time audit. Dedicated engagement managers, real-time dashboards, and automatic retesting of every remediated finding.

Phase 2 · Active Reconnaissance

We map your attack
surface before attackers do.

In the first hours of any engagement, our team runs deep OSINT, subdomain enumeration, service fingerprinting, and credential exposure checks — producing an adversarial map of your environment.

coverage map.

Every Spakto web application engagement manually tests all 10 OWASP categories — not scanner signatures, but context-aware exploitation by certified testers.

Broken Access Control

Incidence Rate
3.81%
App Coverage 94.55%
CWECWE-200, CWE-201, CWE-352

Access control enforces policy so users cannot act outside intended permissions. Failures lead to unauthorised information disclosure, modification, or destruction of data — the most prevalent OWASP category since 2021.

Techniques Tested
IDOR / Object-level auth bypass
Horizontal privilege escalation
Directory traversal
Missing function-level access control
CORS misconfiguration exploit
JWT claim tampering
Real-World Examples
API endpoints returning other users' records without ownership check
Forced browsing to /admin pages without role validation
Modifying userId parameter to access arbitrary accounts
Remediation Guidance

Deny by default, enforce server-side ACLs, log & alert on failures, rate-limit APIs

Retesting partnerships and ongoing validation ensure fixes stick. We don't disappear after the report — we partner through remediation and beyond.

CVSS v3.1 scored

Actionable Intel

CVSS-scored findings with clear remediation steps, PoC evidence and executive summaries that translate technical risk directly into business language.

Kill-chain documented

Real Attack Chains
