Prove what matters
Validate findings in context, rather than treating every alert as equal.
SENTINEL CONSULTING · PENETRATION TESTING
See the risk.
Know what to do next.
We test your defenses the way real attackers would, then explain in plain language what matters most and how to fix it.
Practical security testing. Clear findings. A useful way forward.
FROM EXPOSURETO ACTION
THE QUESTION01 / 03
What could someone reach
from here?
THE ANSWER02 / 03
Evidence, context, and
business impact.
01THE SENTINEL APPROACH
Not just a list of findings.
A clearer path to less risk.
Automated tools can surface a lot of noise. Human-led testing helps validate what is actually exploitable, understand how weaknesses connect, and show why they matter to your organization.
We turn that evidence into prioritized recommendations your technical team can act on while leadership gets a clear picture of what matters.
Make risk understandable
Connect technical evidence to business impact and practical priorities.
Stay accountable
Keep scope, safety, and the next step clear from the first conversation.
02WHAT WE CAN ASSESS
SECURITY TESTING, SCOPED TO YOU
The right lens
for your environment.
Start with the question you need answered. We’ll use your goals and environment to shape a considered scope rather than a one-size-fits-all checklist.
Vulnerability assessment
Identify known weaknesses and manually validate the findings that need attention.
External & internal testing
Explore internet-facing exposure and, where scoped, what may be reachable from inside the network.
Web apps, APIs & mobile
Assess application behavior, access controls, and the paths that could put data at risk.
Wireless & cloud
Review Wi-Fi security and cloud configurations across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Microsoft 365.
Social engineering & red team
With explicit written authorization, test agreed human or detection-and-response scenarios.
Retesting & recurring programs
Verify agreed fixes and, where useful, build a recurring cycle to track progress over time.
Every engagement is different. Services, methods, and timing are confirmed in the written scope before work begins.
03A CLEAR ENGAGEMENT
FROM FIRST CONVERSATION TO FOLLOW-THROUGH
A thoughtful process.
No guesswork.
We listen first, then agree what’s in scope, how testing will work, and what you’ll receive.
Understand your goals
Talk through what prompted the assessment, what you need to protect, and what a useful result looks like.
Define a safe, specific scope
Use your intake information to identify assets, exclusions, constraints, timing, contacts, and any third-party approvals.
Agree before any testing
Work begins only after a signed statement of work, rules of engagement, and written authorization are in place.
Test, explain, and plan
Receive evidence-led findings, practical remediation guidance, and a debrief shaped around your team.
Confirm progress
Discuss retesting agreed fixes and whether a recurring testing cycle would help you measure improvement.
Safety is part of the scope. Testing is limited to agreed targets and windows. Denial-of-service testing is excluded unless specifically contracted. If something breaks or an active attacker is found, the agreed stop-work and escalation process applies.
04WHAT YOU TAKE AWAY
USEFUL AFTER THE TEST IS OVER
Evidence you can
turn into action.
The deliverables depend on the engagement you agree to. The goal stays the same: help your people understand the findings and decide what to do next.
Discuss the right scopeLeadership summary
A concise view of overall exposure, significant findings, and priorities.
Technical findings
Evidence, severity, context, and specific remediation guidance for your team.
Remediation roadmap
A practical sequence of fixes, from urgent actions to longer-term improvements.
Debrief & retest options
A chance to discuss the results and verify agreed fixes, as defined in the scope.
05GOOD TO KNOW
A FEW FIRST QUESTIONS
Clarity before
commitment.
Not sure where to start? That’s a good reason to start a conversation.
Ask us directlyWhat’s the difference between a scan and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment helps identify and validate known weaknesses. A penetration test goes further: it manually explores whether agreed weaknesses can be used to reach a meaningful business impact. The right depth depends on your goals and scope.
Will testing disrupt our production systems?
Before work begins, the rules of engagement define targets, test windows, techniques, exclusions, and emergency contacts. Denial-of-service testing is not performed unless it is explicitly part of the signed scope.
What if we don’t know exactly what to test?
You don’t need to arrive with a finished scope. Share what you know in the intake form; “not sure” is a useful starting point. We’ll use the conversation to identify the questions and systems that should shape a proposal.
Does submitting the intake form authorize testing?
No. Listing a system or sending an inquiry does not authorize testing. Work begins only after the organization signs the statement of work, rules of engagement, and written authorization for every system in scope.
What should we include in an initial inquiry?
A little context is enough: your organization, the kind of assessment you’re considering, and what prompted the conversation. Please don’t send passwords, keys, or sensitive target details through the contact form.
