Neo Security pentesting
Overview of our methodology and reporting standards
The Neo Security approach: IN → THROUGH → OUT
IN - reconnaissance & scoping
We start by understanding your context. Which systems are critical? What are the business risks? We gather information the way an attacker would, but with your interests in mind.
- OSINT gathering & footprinting
- Asset discovery & inventory
- Threat modeling specific to your sector
- Scope alignment and rules of engagement
THROUGH - Testing & exploitation
We conduct systematic tests following proven methodologies (OWASP ASVS, PTES). But we go beyond checklists - we think like attackers with years of experience.
- Vulnerability identification & verification
- Exploitation with business impact focus
- Lateral movement simulation
- Data exfiltration scenarios
OUT - reporting & knowledge transfer
Our reports are actionable. No thick stacks of paper but concrete roadmaps. We present findings in business context and ensure your team understands what needs to happen.
- Executive summary for management
- Technical details for IT teams
- Prioritized remediation roadmap
- Knowledge transfer sessions

More than a report: knowledge transfer
A pentest report is only valuable when your team can act on it. That's why we always include knowledge transfer in our services:
Management presentation
We present the key findings to your management team, translated into business impact and strategic recommendations.
Technical deep dive
For your technical teams we dive deep into the vulnerabilities found, demonstrate exploits and discuss remediation options.
Q&A sessions
Your team can ask questions, we brainstorm on implementation approaches and share best practices from our experience.
