SECURITY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Seven steps, from scoping to a retest that confirms each fix held. Nothing gets tested until the scope and rules of engagement are signed.
Discovery & Scoping
We begin by understanding your environment, assets, and security goals to define the assessment scope and boundaries.
- Asset Inventory: Map your attack surface: applications, networks, endpoints and cloud resources.
- Threat Modeling: Identify likely threat actors and attack vectors relevant to your industry.
- Scope Definition: Agree on testing boundaries, timelines, and communication protocols.
NDA & MOU Signing
Before any technical work begins, we execute formal agreements to protect both parties.
- Non-Disclosure Agreement: Legal commitment to strict confidentiality of all findings and client data.
- Rules of Engagement: Define authorized testing methods, off-limits systems, and escalation procedures.
- Legal Authorization: Written permission ensuring all testing activities are legally authorized and documented.
Reconnaissance & Assessment
Systematic information gathering and attack surface mapping to identify potential entry points.
- OSINT Gathering: Public information, DNS records, exposed services, and leaked credentials.
- Vulnerability Scanning: Automated scanning with manual validation to eliminate false positives.
- Attack Surface Analysis: Map all potential entry points and prioritize targets.
Testing & Exploitation
Active security testing within the agreed scope and rules of engagement.

- Final Clearance Report: Deliver a clean assessment report confirming remediation status.
SECURITY SOLUTIONS IN PRACTICE
Example engagements, described the way we'd scope them. These are patterns, not named client results.
Securing a Fintech Platform Before Launch
A fintech startup handling sensitive financial data needed to know its platform was secure before going live. It also needed proof for its regulator.
Approach
- Full web application penetration testing against OWASP Top 10 with business logic focus
- API security assessment covering all payment and data endpoints
- Secure code review of authentication and transaction processing modules
Expected Outcomes
- Critical vulnerabilities found before launch, not after
- Met regulatory security requirements for financial data handling
- A smaller attack surface, with every fix retested
Red Team Assessment for an Enterprise
A mid-sized enterprise suspected their security controls weren't as effective as their compliance reports suggested. They needed a realistic test of their defenses.
Approach
- Multi-phase red team engagement simulating advanced persistent threat (APT) tactics
- Phishing campaign targeting employees across departments to measure human risk
- Internal network penetration testing with Active Directory assessment
Expected Outcomes
- Shows the detection gaps your compliance audits missed
- Phishing results that show which teams need training
- A purple-team follow-up that shortens detection time
Hardening Infrastructure for a Healthcare Provider
A healthcare organization needed to harden their infrastructure against ransomware threats while maintaining system availability for patient care.
Approach
- System hardening assessment benchmarked against CIS and NIST standards
- Network segmentation review to isolate critical patient data systems
- Vulnerability assessment with prioritized remediation roadmap
Expected Outcomes
- Critical vulnerabilities closed in priority order, with a retest after each fix
- Network segmentation prevented lateral movement in simulated attacks

Under NDA, in Writing
Every engagement runs under a signed NDA and written rules of engagement, agreed before any testing starts. The report maps each finding to the framework it breaks, so your auditor can check our work.
WHY CHOOSE IOTRON?
AI can write code. It can't own an architecture. Six things we do that a prompt doesn't, and you can check each one against work we've shipped.
Eight Years in Production
Eight years and 50+ projects: ERP and financial systems, order management, e-commerce platforms, games.
Designed Before It's Built
The data model and the system boundaries are agreed and written down before sprint one, around your process rather than a licence's. Version two extends the system instead of rewriting it.
The Stack Follows the Problem
JavaScript and TypeScript (React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Node, NestJS), PHP (Laravel, Filament), C# (.NET), Python (Django), Java (Spring). The systems can be built in any of them; the stack follows the problem, not habit. On an existing codebase, we work in what's already there.
Working Software From Week 2
Two-week sprints, working software from week 2. A focused MVP takes 8-12 weeks; a full platform takes 4-8 months.
Tested Before It Ships
Automated tests and code review on every merge. Hype's platform ships with 88 backend tests across 20 feature suites, including one that fails if a page starts issuing more database queries than it should.
Engineers Own Every Merge
We use AI for scaffolding, test drafts and code search. Engineers own the architecture and every merge, and you get weekly demos and a direct channel to them.
Questions buyers ask
How do you choose a penetration testing company?
Ask four things. Who does the testing, and is it manual beyond the scanner? Will the report rank findings by what an attacker reaches first, with fix steps? Is a retest included? Can they test what you actually run, such as APIs, cloud and AI features? We answer yes to all four, and we'll show you a sample report before you sign.
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is a controlled simulation of real-world attacks against your systems to identify vulnerabilities before malicious actors do. We test web applications, APIs, networks, and cloud infrastructure using the same techniques attackers use.
How often should we do a security assessment?
At least once a year, and again after any major release or infrastructure change. If you handle sensitive data such as payments, health records or personal data, we'd recommend quarterly. Every engagement ends with a retest that confirms the fixes held.
What is the difference between penetration testing and red teaming?
Penetration testing looks for technical vulnerabilities in specific systems, inside an agreed scope. Red teaming plays a full adversary with an objective, combining technical exploits with phishing and social engineering, to test whether your people and processes catch it too.
Do you test AI and LLM applications for security issues?
Yes. We test LLM applications, AI agents, and MCP servers for prompt injection (direct and indirect), jailbreaks, tool-call abuse, RAG and vector store data leakage, unsafe output handling, and cost abuse. We work against the OWASP LLM Top 10 and MITRE ATLAS rather than a generic web checklist, because the failure modes are different.
What is prompt injection and why does it matter?
Prompt injection is when untrusted content, such as a web page, a document or an email the model reads, carries instructions the model then follows as if they came from you. It matters because an agent with tool access can be talked into using those tools: reading data it shouldn't, or calling an API on an attacker's behalf. Filtering can't fully fix it, so we handle it with scoped permissions, human approval on consequential actions, and testing.
Do you provide remediation support after finding vulnerabilities?
Yes. Every assessment ends with a detailed report: prioritised findings, risk ratings and specific remediation steps. We can also fix the vulnerabilities ourselves, not just report them.
What is VAPT?
VAPT stands for vulnerability assessment and penetration testing. The vulnerability assessment scans your web applications, APIs and network for known weaknesses, and we validate each hit by hand to drop false positives. Penetration testing then exploits the ones that matter, inside an agreed scope, to show what an attacker actually reaches. The report ranks findings by CVSS severity and exploitability, with fix steps for each.
What does a network penetration test or security audit cover?
External testing probes what's exposed to the internet: open services, misconfigurations and exploitable entry points. Internal testing starts inside your network and checks lateral movement, privilege escalation and Active Directory. We also review segmentation and firewall rules, so one compromised machine can't reach everything.
Do you test cloud environments?
Yes: AWS, Azure and GCP. We review IAM, storage exposure and network rules, then test what an attacker can actually reach from the internet.
What does web application penetration testing include?
We test authentication, session handling, injection and business logic against the OWASP Top 10, plus the APIs behind the app. Business logic gets manual testing, because scanners don't find it.
Do you do PCI DSS penetration testing?
Yes. We scope the test to your cardholder data environment and segmentation controls and report against PCI DSS requirement 11.4, so your QSA can use it directly.
Do you offer penetration testing as a service (PTaaS)?
Yes. A yearly plan covers a full test, testing after major releases, scheduled vulnerability scanning and retests until each finding is closed. It costs less than buying each test separately.
Can you security-test an app built with AI coding tools?
Yes, and it's worth doing before launch. In Veracode's 2025 test of 100+ AI models, 45% of generated code carried a known security flaw. We test it like any web application, against the OWASP Top 10, with manual checks on the authorization and business logic a model can't see.
