Why Work With Me

Most firms sell scans. I deliver security.

Operator-Led

Every engagement is hands-on-keyboard by an experienced offensive security engineer. Manual techniques, custom tooling, and real exploitation — not junior analysts running Nessus.

Business-First Reporting

No CVSS score dumps. Every finding is contextualized to your specific business — real financial exposure, real operational impact, real remediation priority.

True Remediation

Finding bugs is the easy part. I partner with your engineering team through the fix cycle — verifying patches, re-testing, and confirming the door is actually closed.

Not All Pentests Are Equal

The difference between a checkbox and a real security assessment.

Typical Firms
Automated scanner output repackaged as "findings"
Junior analysts running Nessus on a Tuesday
Generic PDF report with 200 pages of noise
CVSS scores with no business context
Engagement ends when the report ships
Same playbook for every client
Cube Root Dynamics
Manual exploitation with custom-built tooling and adversary simulation
Direct access to an experienced operator — no handoffs
Concise, actionable reports with proof-of-concept for every finding
Financial impact modeling tied to your specific risk profile
Remediation support through re-testing and verification
Threat-model-driven approach tailored to your attack surface

Think you're secure? Let us prove it.

Most organizations don't know they've been breached until it's too late. A single engagement can change that.

How I Work

A structured, rigorous approach to offensive operations.

01

Scope & Threat Model

I define rules of engagement, map your attack surface, and build a threat model specific to your business. No generic checklists.

Deliverable: Rules of Engagement document + Attack Surface Map
02

Reconnaissance & Testing

Manual and automated testing driven by your threat model. I chain vulnerabilities together the way real attackers do — not just flag individual issues.

Duration: 1-4 weeks depending on scope
03

Report & Debrief

Executive summary for leadership, technical details for engineers. Every finding includes proof-of-concept, business impact, and prioritized remediation steps.

Deliverable: Executive Report + Technical Findings + Live Debrief
04

Remediation & Retest

I work alongside your team to verify fixes. Once patches are applied, I retest every finding to confirm the vulnerability is actually closed.

Deliverable: Remediation Verification Report + Clean Bill

From the Field

Observations, analysis, and hard-won lessons from real-world research.

FIELD NOTE

The #1 Finding We Report (Every Single Time)

Insufficient network segmentation appears in over 90% of pentest reports industry-wide. A flat network turns one compromised workstation into full domain access.

ANALYSIS

Why Your Pentest Report Is Sitting in a Drawer

Most pentest reports are 200-page PDF dumps that nobody reads. Here's why — and how a report should actually drive remediation action, not collect dust.

ADVISORY

Self-Hosted Software: The CVE Goldmine Nobody's Watching

Organizations running self-hosted open source (Nextcloud, BookStack, Firefly III) often skip security entirely. I'm actively researching vulnerabilities in this space.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions we get most.

How is a pentest different from a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan is automated software that checks for known issues — it's a checklist. A penetration test is a human-driven simulation where an operator actively tries to break into your systems, chain vulnerabilities, and demonstrate real business impact. Scans find surface-level issues. Pentests find what attackers actually exploit.
How long does a typical engagement take?
Most assessments take 1-4 weeks of active testing, depending on scope. A focused web application test might take 1-2 weeks. A full internal/external network pentest with red team elements typically runs 3-4 weeks. We'll scope this precisely during our initial call.
Will testing disrupt our production environment?
Every engagement is designed to minimize operational risk. Rules of engagement are agreed upon before testing begins, and I coordinate timing for any high-impact tests. For critical systems, I can test against staging environments first.
What do we get at the end?
You receive a comprehensive report with an executive summary (for leadership), detailed technical findings (for your engineers), proof-of-concept for every vulnerability, a risk-prioritized remediation roadmap, and a live debrief session. After you remediate, we retest to verify fixes are effective.
What's the Founding Client Program?
I'm offering my first 10 clients a 50% discount on their initial engagement in exchange for a published case study. The case study can be anonymized or named — your choice. Founding clients also get priority scheduling and a lifetime rate lock. It's a limited program designed to build a public portfolio while giving early clients exceptional value.
Do you work with small companies or just enterprises?
I work with organizations of all sizes. A 20-person SaaS startup has different risks than a Fortune 500 bank, but both need real security testing. Engagement models scale from focused one-time assessments to ongoing continuous programs. The Risk Calculator above can give you a sense of your exposure regardless of size.
