Penetration Testing Services for the systems you authorize, with findings ranked by risk.

A pentest service is an authorized technical assessment that tests selected systems for exploitable behavior and its impact. It turns suspected vulnerabilities into evidence your team can use to prioritize work.

We agree the assets, permissions and techniques before testing. The report gives your engineers reproduction evidence and risk priorities for the tested scope. The NIST testing and assessment guide describes planning, validation and mitigation for technical security assessments.

A penetration test fits a named, authorized system when you need evidence of exploitable behavior.

Useful triggers include a significant release or cloud change, buyer assurance, due diligence or validating an existing finding. Define the decision and the audience for the report before selecting the test.

For broader controls and risk priorities, choose cybersecurity consulting. A red team exercise has a wider detection-and-response objective.

Penetration testing cost depends on the agreed targets, access and techniques, plus reporting and any validation you commission.

• Scoped assessment: outcome based, quoted per project.
• Test and selected remediation: billed hourly, quoted per project.
• Engineers in your team: billed monthly per team member.

Retesting and implementation are quoted explicitly. There is no minimum engagement period.

We agree the test window and reporting schedule from the scope before work starts.

The targets, user roles and permitted techniques determine how the assessment is planned. Remediation and retesting have separately agreed schedules.

Most engagements start within two to four weeks.

Black-box, grey-box and white-box are security terms for how much information and access testers receive.

• Black-box: testing from an external perspective with limited prior system information.
• Grey-box: agreed accounts and selected system context.
• White-box: detailed information, such as source code or architecture, with access separately authorized.

We choose the model around the test objective and permissions you can provide.

Yes. We scope tests around the systems, environments and tools you already run.

You authorize the targets and provide agreed access, roles and credentials. A third-party service enters only with its owner's permission and within provider terms.

Ongoing pipeline checks and retesting are separate scopes; the report format fits the triage process you agree.

Tools and manual testing complement each other: a vulnerability scan supports repeatable checks, while manual techniques examine context, logic and the impact of selected findings.

We validate alerts and, where permitted, chain findings to see how they interact. The testing plan defines how both methods apply to your authorized targets.

For web testing, OWASP WSTG 4.2 is a detailed guide; OWASP Top 10:2025 is an awareness reference for risk categories. They support different planning decisions.

Testing can affect production, so we agree operational risk controls before the authorized window.

We choose the environment and permitted techniques with the system owner, record exclusions and stop conditions, and name contacts with authority to pause the test. A representative staging environment can reduce exposure; any production activity needs its own agreed boundaries.

Compare the authorized scope, validation method, evidence quality and responsibility for next work.

• Scope: we agree targets, access and operating limits before testing.
• Method: we combine industry-standard tools and manual techniques within that scope.
• Reports: reproduction evidence, risk criteria and acceptance are agreed with the intended readers.
• Next work: implementation and retesting are separate scope decisions.

Check any required tester accreditation or independence condition with the requesting stakeholder before contracting.

unicrew holds ISO 27001:2022 and ISO 9001:2015, renewed through a multi-stage audit with Quay Audit UK.

These are organizational certifications. Auditor acceptance depends on the requested test scope, report format and evidence; we agree those requirements with you before testing.

A test report documents what was tested and found; it does not certify your organization or product.

You can commission reporting alone, selected remediation or a separate retest.

We provide findings and guidance for the implementation owner you choose. If you commission implementation, our engineers make the agreed fixes in your codebase; validation is defined for the work you purchase.

Broader security engineering and readiness sit within cybersecurity consulting.

The public references here cover software engineering and code review, rather than standalone penetration-testing engagements. Reference sharing for a specific engagement depends on client permission.

Our healthcare consultation platform and research SaaS cases show how security requirements shaped the design; a multi-factor authentication platform illustrates related engineering.

unicrew was formerly Artelogic, the name used in older client reviews.

Set penetration-testing frequency around changes, risk and the assurance requirements your responsible owners identify.

A new externally exposed feature, changed permissions or a major release can justify revisiting the affected targets. Scoping agrees whether you need a one-time assessment, a retest of fixes or recurring testing.

For recurring work, we agree cadence and reporting expectations explicitly.
