A vulnerability scan tells you what might be vulnerable. A penetration test tells you what an attacker can actually do with it. SOClogix certified penetration testers simulate real-world adversary techniques against your environment to identify exploitable paths before malicious actors find them. We go beyond automated tooling - manual testing, chained attack paths, and business logic flaws are where the real risk lives.
Our methodology follows industry standards including PTES, OWASP Testing Guide, and NIST SP 800-115, adapted to your specific environment and risk profile. Before each engagement we scope carefully with your team to define targets, rules of engagement, and success criteria - so you get actionable findings, not a 500-page dump of CVSS scores you cannot prioritize.
Every engagement concludes with a complete findings report covering an executive summary your board can read, technical detail your engineers can act on, proof-of-concept screenshots, CVSS scoring, and a remediation roadmap sorted by exploitability and business impact. Critical and high findings include a free retest to verify your fixes held.

Our Methodology
External Network
We attack your internet-facing perimeter the way a real adversary would - mapping exposure, exploiting vulnerabilities, and attempting to gain a foothold from outside your environment.
Web Application & API
Full OWASP Top 10 assessment of web applications and APIs - authentication bypass, injection flaws, broken access control, business logic vulnerabilities, and insecure direct object references.
Social Engineering
Targeted phishing simulations, pretexting calls, and credential harvesting campaigns that test whether your people are your strongest or weakest security control.
Internal / Red Team
Assume-breach testing that simulates an attacker already inside your network - lateral movement, privilege escalation, Active Directory abuse, and data exfiltration paths.
Scope & Rules of Engagement
We define target systems, testing windows, authorized techniques, and escalation contacts. No surprises - your legal and IT teams sign off before we touch anything.
Reconnaissance & Enumeration
Passive and active information gathering to map your attack surface - subdomains, open ports, service versions, user accounts, and exposed credentials.
Exploitation & Chained Attacks
Manual exploitation of identified vulnerabilities, chaining low-severity issues into high-impact attack paths the way real adversaries do - not just running automated scanners.
Reporting & Remediation Support
Executive summary, full technical report with proof-of-concept evidence, CVSS scoring, and a remediation roadmap. We stay available during remediation and perform a free retest on critical and high findings.
