Security testing of REST, GraphQL, and SOAP APIs — including JWT/OAuth authentication, role-based authorisation, rate limiting, data exposure, and API injection.
Cloud Security Review
Audit of cloud environment configurations (AWS, GCP, Azure) covering IAM privilege assessment, misconfigured storage buckets, encryption policies, logging, and serverless security.
Social Engineering Simulation
Social engineering attack simulations to test employee resilience — targeted phishing campaigns, vishing, and physical access testing scenarios.
Red Team Exercise
AdvancedLong-term adversary simulation based on business objectives — not just finding gaps, but realistically testing your security team's detection and response capabilities.
Methodology Approach
We tailor our testing approach to each client's context, objectives, and budget — every engagement is designed to deliver maximum value.
The tester has no prior information about the target system. Simulates an attack by an unknown external adversary.
Advantages
Most realistic threat simulation
Findings reflect genuine external risk
Suitable for
External pentest, regulatory compliance testing
The tester is provided with partial information (user accounts, API documentation, or basic architecture). Most commonly used for web and mobile applications.
Advantages
Balance between realism and efficiency
Broader coverage within limited time
Suitable for
Web & mobile app testing, authenticated API testing
The tester receives full access to source code, system architecture, and technical documentation. Produces the most in-depth and comprehensive audit possible.
Advantages
Most complete findings including code-level
Identifies hidden logic flaws
Suitable for
Secure code review, pre-launch audit, compliance assessment
Pentest Process Phases
Our methodology follows industry standards PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) and the OWASP Testing Guide for consistent, well-documented results.
Pre-Engagement & Scoping
Defining the testing scope, target systems, time constraints, and rules of engagement. Preparation of a written authorisation letter that protects both parties legally.
Reconnaissance & OSINT
Passive information gathering about the target — subdomains, technologies in use, email addresses, leaked configurations, public breach data, and initial attack surface mapping.
Scanning & Enumeration
Active port scanning, service enumeration, technology fingerprinting, software version identification, and mapping of endpoints and services running on the target.
Vulnerability Analysis
Identifying vulnerabilities through a combination of automated scanning and manual testing — validating false positives and prioritising by genuine risk (CVSS scoring).
Exploitation
Exploiting validated vulnerabilities with documented Proof of Concept — demonstrating real-world impact without disrupting the integrity of production systems.
Post-Exploitation (Where Applicable)
For network/infrastructure testing: privilege escalation, lateral movement, and assessment of further impact potential if an attacker gains an initial foothold.
Reporting & Remediation Support
Delivery of a comprehensive report with an Executive Summary and Technical Finding Report — including CVSS ratings, exploitation evidence, and actionable remediation recommendations.
What You Receive
Every engagement produces a comprehensive set of deliverables — not just a list of CVEs, but actionable insight.
Executive Summary Report
A summary of findings for senior management — high-level risks, business impact, and priority recommendations without technical jargon.
Technical Vulnerability Report
A complete technical report for every finding with CVSS v3.1 scoring, technical descriptions, exploitation evidence (PoC), and reproduction steps.
Proof of Concept Documentation
Exploitation evidence documentation including screenshots, HTTP request/response captures, video recordings, and command output as authentic proof.
Remediation Recommendations
Specific technical remediation guidance per finding — not just "update the software", but concrete steps that your development team can execute immediately.
Retest Report
After you have applied fixes, we conduct a verification review to confirm that every finding has been successfully closed.
Internationally Certified Team
Every pentest is conducted by a team holding globally recognised industry certifications — not just those who learned from online tutorials.
We also apply peer review among team members for every engagement so that no finding is missed due to individual blind spots.

When Does a Company Need Pentesting?
Pentesting is not only for large enterprises — it is an essential security practice relevant in the following situations.
Before launching a new application or feature
Find security gaps before real users and attackers access them. It is far less costly to fix issues before launch than after.
After major changes to system architecture
Cloud migrations, microservice restructuring, or infrastructure replacement open new attack surfaces that need to be validated.
As a regulatory or client requirement
OJK, BSSN, and enterprise clients often require an up-to-date pentest report as part of vendor security due diligence.
Periodic security evaluation (annual)
Industry standards recommend pentesting at least once per year — the threat landscape evolves, and new gaps emerge at any time.
After a security incident
A post-incident pentest confirms that the attack vector used has been closed and that no hidden gaps remain.
Preparing for ISO 27001 or security certification
Pentesting is a relevant technical control in ISO 27001 Annex A and is often requested as evidence during a certification audit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have specific questions about scope, methodology, or pricing? Reach our team via the contact page or footer.
Is it safe to conduct a pentest on a production system?
Yes, with proper pre-engagement. We establish strict rules of engagement before testing begins — including limits on permitted techniques, testing windows, and emergency procedures if systems are impacted. For critical systems, we always recommend testing in a staging environment first, followed by limited production testing.
How long does a pentest engagement take?
Duration depends on scope. A web application pentest typically requires 3–5 active testing days. Network & infrastructure assessments take 5–10 days. A red team exercise can run 2–4 weeks. After testing is complete, report preparation requires an additional 3–5 business days before delivery.
What is the difference between a Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing?
A Vulnerability Assessment (VA) systematically identifies and classifies vulnerabilities — typically using automated tools with limited manual validation. Penetration Testing (PT) goes further by attempting to manually exploit identified vulnerabilities to prove real-world impact. Our VAPT service combines both for comprehensive results.
What information should be prepared before pentesting begins?
For black box: at minimum, a list of target domains, IPs, or applications along with a written authorisation letter. For grey box: additionally, active user accounts (various access levels), API documentation if available, and a basic architectural overview. For white box: full source code and system architecture diagrams. Our team will guide you through the pre-engagement checklist at kickoff.
Is there a confidentiality guarantee for findings and the pentest report?
Yes — every engagement is protected by a legally binding Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). Reports are delivered only to authorised parties within your organisation. We never share, publish, or reference the technical details of your findings with any third party without your explicit consent.
How frequently should a company ideally conduct pentesting?
Industry standards and best practices recommend at least once per year. However, additional pentests are strongly advised before major feature launches, after infrastructure migrations, or following security incidents. Certain regulations such as POJK in the financial sector and PCI-DSS for payments mandate more specific testing frequencies.
Does CloudSphere provide remediation assistance after the pentest?
Yes. In addition to the report with specific, actionable remediation recommendations, our team is available for technical Q&A sessions with your development team during the remediation period. Once fixes are in place, we conduct a retest to verify that every finding has been successfully closed and issue a formal retest report.
