We approach each pentest with a clear objective: to simulate a focused, malicious attack and identify weak points before someone else does. Our methodologies encompass industry standards such as OWASP, MITRE ATT&CK, and NIST, and we customize them per engagement according to  the real-world experience of our .

Before any testing begins, we clearly define the scope of the penetration test. This includes identifying assets, systems, and areas that are in-scope and out-of-scope boundaries. Using OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), we gather publicly available information to understand the external attack surface. This may include DNS records, WHOIS data, and even social media profiles to identify potential entry points.

Active Reconnaissance & Scanning
‍We move on to active reconnaissance by scanning your network, systems, and applications for vulnerabilities. Our goal is to identify open ports, running services,  exposed credentials, technologies, and versions in use, and discover what is running under the surface and how it could be exploited. The more information we gather, the more thorough the penetration test becomes. From there, we perform or simulate real-world attacks in a strictly controlled manner to exploit vulnerabilities and move through your environment as an attacker would.

‍Reporting & Remediation Recommendations
‍After completing the test, we compile our findings into a detailed penetration test report, highlighting identified vulnerabilities, the methods used to exploit them, and clear remediation recommendations. The report is structured to help your team prioritize fixes based on severity and business impact.Once your team has addressed the findings, Red Sentry offers free remediation testing to verify that vulnerabilities have been properly resolved. We’ll retest the affected areas, confirm successful fixes, and update your score with a remediation report at no additional cost.
