Penetration test & hardening ahead of a regulatory audit
Full application and infrastructure penetration test, remediation, and a hardened deployment pipeline delivered in six weeks.

The challenge
A regulatory audit was six weeks out and the client had never commissioned an independent penetration test. Internal reviews had signed off on systems nobody outside the build team had examined.
Our approach
We ran a full external and internal test against applications and infrastructure, then worked alongside the client’s engineers on remediation rather than handing over a report and leaving. Fixes were verified as they landed, and we hardened the deployment pipeline so the same classes of issue would be caught before reaching production.
The outcome
Twenty-three findings were remediated inside the window. The re-audit returned zero critical and zero high findings, and the regulatory audit passed without remedial action.
