Expert-Led Pentesting

Find it. Fix it.
Verify it's gone.

Expert-led penetration testing with real exploitation by senior testers and findings that come back as remediation guidance your engineers can act on.

Trusted across regulated industries — $20B+ in client assets protected.

The Problem

Why most penetration tests never actually close risk.

Most firms run a scan, hand you a report, and disappear. The findings land in a backlog, nobody has time to work them, and next year's test finds the same holes. You paid to learn you're exposed, twice.

Risk closes in weeks, not quarters.

Findings become tickets. Tickets become fixes. We retest and confirm, in the same engagement, not the next audit cycle.

Engineers get faster, not just busier.

We walk your team through the exploit path, not just the CVE. Your people learn to spot the pattern before we do.

Security spend translates to actual progress.

Auditors, boards, and customers see findings fixed and verified, not a list of problems reopened every year.

What We Test

Real exploitation, scoped to the risk you actually carry.

Findings come back as remediation guidance your engineers can act on, prioritized by real business risk, not a raw severity dump.

Penetration Testing

Application, cloud, network, API, and AI/LLM testing scoped to the risk you actually carry. Findings come back as remediation guidance your engineers can act on, not a wall of red bars.

How We Work

The embedded model. Three steps. No PDFs left behind.

Weekly working sessions with your team. Shared ticketing. Senior engineers assigned to each engagement — the same people from the first call to the last.

Scope what matters

A working session with your leadership and engineering teams to map your environment, risk priorities, and audit timeline. Not a sales discovery call.

Test like an adversary

Senior engineers exploit findings by hand and chain them the way a real attacker would. You get shared ticketing and same-week visibility, not silence until the report drops.

Close the loop

Findings become tickets, tickets become fixes, paired with your team. Then we retest and confirm each one is actually closed, with a clean letter your auditors and customers will accept.

Why Framework Security

What "expert-led" actually means when you buy a pentest.

Four things clients tell us are the actual reason they stay. Vendor independence is the one none of the big firms can match.

Expert Practitioners. Regulated-Industry Depth.

Every engagement is led by senior testers with real time in the trenches. 65+ years of combined experience across offensive testing, active incident response, and SOC 2, ISO, and CMMC work.

Responsive On The Timelines That Matter.

Customer deadlines and audit windows don't move. Most engagements kick off within two weeks of signature, and embedded clients get same-day response on critical findings.

Independent And Vendor-Agnostic

We report what we find and recommend what fits your environment, with nothing to upsell. No tool license waiting at the end of the test. Our only product is the work.

Clear Communicators.

You get two reports in one: the exploit path in plain English for your board, and the technical detail your engineers can act on line by line. Plain English is a deliverable, not a nice-to-have.

FAQs

Questions teams ask before a pentest

Don't see yours? Send a note — you'll hear back from a real person, usually within a business day.

What's the difference between your pentest and an automated scan?

A scanner tells you what might be vulnerable. We prove what actually is, by exploiting it and chaining findings the way an attacker would. You get the real risk, not a list of maybes.

Which types of testing do you do?

Web app, cloud (Azure/AWS/GCP), network (external and internal), API, AI/LLM, social engineering, and full red-team adversary simulations. We scope to your environment, not a package.

Do you retest after we fix the findings?

Yes. Retesting is part of the engagement. We confirm each finding is closed and give you a clean letter you can hand to auditors and customers.

Will testing disrupt production?

No. We scope rules of engagement with your team up front, coordinate timing, and test safely. You'll know what we're doing and when.

What do we actually receive?

A prioritized findings report with reproduction steps and remediation guidance, an executive summary in plain English, and a post-fix retest letter.

How much does it cost and how long does it take?

It depends on scope, so we price to your environment instead of publishing a number that fits no one. A focused test runs about a week; larger scopes take longer. Your working session ends with a clear scope and a straight number.

What makes Framework Security different?

We don't drop a PDF and leave. We embed with your engineers, close the findings with them, and retest to prove it. Firms managing $20B+ in assets trust us, we're a G2 Top 10 firm and Clutch's #1 in North America, and every engagement is senior-led start to finish.
