Independent offensive security

Find the paths an attacker would take.

PentAIx tests the systems your business depends on the way a real adversary would: manually, methodically, and with evidence your engineers can act on.

  • Web, API, network and AD testing
  • Goal-based red teaming
  • Clear scope, evidence and fixes

Services

Two ways to find out what an attacker sees.

Start with the coverage you need. Move to a red team when you need to test whether the organisation would notice.

Assessment

Penetration Testing

A focused, exploit-led assessment of the applications, APIs and infrastructure your business depends on.

  • Web applications and APIs
  • External and internal networks
  • Active Directory and identity paths
  • Cloud and SaaS configuration
Adversary simulation

Red Teaming

A goal-based adversary simulation that tests your detection and response, not just your perimeter.

  • Assumed-breach operations
  • Objectives tied to business risk
  • Detection and response testing
  • Executive and technical debriefs

How I work

Security work should survive contact with your engineering team.

No inflated severity. No scanner output dressed up as analysis. No findings that disappear when you ask for a reproduction.

Manual first

Scanners find patterns. The work is following the paths they miss: chained access, business logic and the assumptions between systems.

Scope you can audit

Written scope, named targets, clear exclusions and a single point of contact, agreed before a packet is sent.

Evidence over noise

Every finding includes reproduction steps, realistic impact and a remediation path your team can implement.

No theatre

No inflated severity, no copy-pasted scanner output, no finding that disappears when you ask for a reproduction.

Deliverables

What you actually receive.

A report is only useful if it changes what you ship. Every engagement ends with evidence, priorities and a path to closure.

Scope and rules of engagement

Targets, exclusions, timing, communication and stop conditions, written down before testing starts.

Findings with evidence

Severity, affected assets, prerequisites, reproduction steps and the evidence needed to verify the issue.

Remediation guidance

A concrete fix path for your engineers, not a generic hardening checklist or a link to a scanner definition.

Retest and closure

A verification pass confirming the fix works, plus a closure note you can share with customers or auditors.

Engagement lifecycle

From first call to verified fix.

A predictable process, with clear decision points and no surprises on either side.

01

Scope

We agree what is in scope, what is off-limits, how we communicate and what a successful engagement looks like.

02

Test

Manual, exploit-led testing with controlled risk, clear check-ins and an emergency contact available throughout.

03

Report

Prioritised findings with evidence, business impact and a specific fix your engineers can act on.

04

Retest

You fix. I verify. A finding is only closed when the remediation has been confirmed.

An illustrative report showing the structure, evidence standard and tone you can expect. Clearly labelled as a sample, never a client document.
