Offensive Security

Penetration testing that builds your defenses, not just a report.

Every Sidekick engagement delivers WAF rules, SIEM detections, control mappings, and a remediation strategy tailored to your stack — connecting offensive findings to parts of your security program that pentesting has never touched before.

What We Test

If it's in your environment, we can test it. Comprehensive security validation across your entire attack surface.

Web Applications

Full-stack application testing for authentication flaws, injection attacks, business logic issues, and misconfigurations — well beyond the OWASP Top 10.

APIs

REST, GraphQL, and gRPC security assessment covering authorization flaws, data exposure, rate limiting, and business logic abuse.

Mobile Applications

iOS and Android testing for authentication bypass, insecure data storage, certificate pinning, and client-side vulnerabilities.

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS, Azure, and GCP security assessments targeting misconfigurations, privilege escalation paths, and identity policy weaknesses.

Networks

Internal and external network penetration testing to identify exploitable services, lateral movement paths, and segmentation failures.

Thick Clients

Security assessment of desktop and fat client applications, including binary analysis, local storage, IPC mechanisms, and server-side communication.

Red Team Assessments

Full-scope adversary simulation testing your people, processes, and technology against realistic attack scenarios with defined objectives.

Purple Team Assessments

Collaborative exercises pairing our offensive operators with your defensive team to test detection capabilities and improve response in real time.

Beyond the Report

Traditional pentests give you findings. We give you the tools to actually improve your security program.

Our deliverables contextualize findings across teams to raise awareness and accelerate remediation.
