Independent third-party assessment · websites, systems, APIs and source code

Turn security risk into a fixable, verifiable action list

We provide independent cybersecurity risk assessment, SRAA, web and API penetration testing, source-code and dependency scanning, and remediation retesting. Each engagement begins with written authorisation and a defined scope, then turns evidence into a prioritised action list rather than a raw scanner report.

  • Independent of the system developer — we do not assess systems we built; evidence can go straight to management or auditors
  • From scoping through remediation retest — not a scanner dump, but a worklist that tracks through to closure

What does this service include?

We provide independent cybersecurity risk assessment, SRAA, web and API penetration testing, source-code and dependency scanning, and remediation retesting. Each engagement begins with written authorisation and a defined scope, then turns evidence into a prioritised action list rather than a raw scanner report.

Typical scope
From scoping through remediation retest — not a scanner dump, but a worklist that tracks through to closure · Services matched to risk and assurance needs · What you receive
Delivery approach
We clarify goals, current workflows, data, permissions and integrations before phased design, validation, rollout and handover. Final scope is confirmed during discovery.

Cybersecurity & risk assurance

Services matched to risk and assurance needs

We first clarify assets, data sensitivity and purpose, then choose the assessment depth. A scanner result is not treated as a substitute for professional review.

SRAA and security risk assessment

Inventory systems and data, identify threats and control gaps, then record risk, evidence, ownership and remediation priority.

Web, API and penetration testing

Within a written, authorised scope, validate authentication, access control, input handling, data exposure and common attack surfaces.

Source code, dependency and secret scanning

Combine static analysis, third-party component risk and exposed credential or key checks to give developers actionable locations and directions.

Cloud and configuration review

Review exposure, TLS, security headers, access control, backups, logging and deployment configuration.

What you receive

The report is designed for decisions and remediation, not a dump of scanner output.

Four stages from authorisation to retest

Before testing, we document objectives, scope, timing, prohibited actions, contacts and data-handling expectations.

1

1. Scope and rules

Confirm assets, environments, test accounts, written authorisation, risk tolerance and emergency stop arrangements.

2

2. Assess and validate

Combine automated and human methods, retaining only evidence needed for remediation.

3

3. Report and remediation workshop

Explain risk, false-positive limits, practical priority and responsible parties.

4

4. Retest and close

Revalidate agreed items and record remediated, partly remediated, accepted or open status.

Methods and reference frameworks

The actual scope depends on the system and risk. These official resources explain core risk-assessment and secure-development principles.

How to judge whether a service fits

Ask for a clear scope, method, evidence, data handling and retest arrangement. No supplier should describe a point-in-time test as a guarantee of permanent security.

SRAA means Security Risk Assessment and Audit. It defines a scope, inventories assets, threats, controls and risks, and records evidence, priorities, ownership and follow-up status.

Start by clarifying risk and deliverables

Share the system type, test environment, preferred timing and main compliance or business concerns; we will suggest an appropriate assessment mix.
