Offensive Security · Penetration Testing

We break in first, so nobody else does.

Independent penetration testing across networks, web applications, cloud, and wireless. You get evidence you can reproduce, a clear read on what it means, and fixes your engineers can actually ship.

Capabilities

Four ways in, and the work to close them

Real attackers don't respect the boundaries of a scope document. Neither do we, once you tell us where the fence is. When the report lands, we can help you fix what's in it.

Network Penetration Testing

External perimeter and internal network testing that goes past the scanner output to prove what an attacker can actually reach.

  • External perimeter assessment
  • Internal network & lateral movement
  • Active Directory attack paths
  • Segmentation validation
  • Password & credential auditing
Details

Web Application & API

Manual, business-logic-aware testing against the OWASP Top 10 and the flaws that automated tools never find.

  • Authenticated & unauthenticated testing
  • Authorization & IDOR / BOLA
  • REST, GraphQL & SOAP APIs
  • Business logic abuse
  • Session, SSO & token handling
Details

Cloud & Wireless

The attack surface outside your data center. Misconfigured cloud identity, open airwaves, and the people who'll click the link.

  • AWS, Azure & GCP configuration review
  • IAM privilege-escalation paths
  • Container & CI/CD pipeline review
  • Wireless & rogue AP assessment
  • Phishing & social engineering
Details

Compliance-Driven Testing

Testing scoped and evidenced for whatever framework you're held to, without turning into a checkbox exercise.

  • HITRUST CSF
  • SOC 2 Type II
  • PCI DSS 11.4
  • HIPAA Security Rule
  • Auditor-ready evidence packages
Details

Security Consulting & Advisory

Testing tells you what's broken. This is the help to fix it, from someone who's built and run these programs, not just broken into them.

  • Security program design and build-out
  • Cloud security architecture review
  • Vulnerability management programs
  • Compliance readiness and audit support
  • Fractional security leadership

Why GingerBeard

A report you can actually hand to your engineers

Plenty of firms will sell you a scan with a logo on it. You get back 400 pages of unvalidated output, everything rated critical, and a team that quietly stops reading around page nine.

Everything we report gets validated by hand. You get the steps to trigger it, proof it worked, an honest read on what it gets an attacker, and a fix your team can ship.

  • No false positives. If it's in the report, we reproduced it ourselves.
  • Critical findings called the same day. You'll hear about it before the report is written.
  • Risk rated in your context. Not a raw CVSS score copied out of a database.
  • A free retest. Fix it and we'll verify at no charge.

How it works

Five stages, no surprises

You'll know the scope, the timeline, and the price before we touch a single packet.

Scope

We settle targets, rules of engagement, testing windows, and emergency contacts. In writing, with signed authorization.

Recon

Passive and active enumeration to map the real attack surface, including whatever nobody remembered to mention.

Exploit

Controlled exploitation and privilege escalation to prove real impact, chaining findings the way an attacker would.

Report

An executive summary your board can read and a technical section your engineers can work from, in one document.

Retest

Once you've remediated, we verify the fixes and reissue the report. It's included in the price.

Deliverables

What lands in your inbox

The report

Executive summary, risk narrative, and the full technical findings: reproduction steps, screenshots, affected assets, and remediation in priority order.

The debrief

A live walkthrough with your team, engineering or leadership or both. We answer questions, demo the attack chains, and help you sequence the fixes.

The attestation

A clean summary letter for auditors, customers, or a security questionnaire. It won't expose your findings detail.

Find out what an attacker would find.

Tell us what's in scope. We'll come back with a fixed-price proposal, a testing window, and a named tester, usually within two business days.
