The challenge
Where teams get stuck
The problems we're most often brought in to solve.
- 01
Scanner output was never verified
Automated scan results were delivered without manual validation, leaving false positives mixed with genuine risk.
- 02
Live systems have never been challenged
Production has not been tested by someone thinking like an attacker and chaining weaknesses together.
- 03
Enterprise buyers require test evidence
Customers and partners request a recent penetration test report as part of security due diligence.
Overview
Penetration Testing & Red Teaming at VulcanTech
Penetration testing is authorised, hands-on simulation of a real attack to find weaknesses that could be exploited. VulcanTech manually tests web and mobile applications, APIs and infrastructure, chaining weaknesses that automated scanners miss. Reports rank findings by real-world exploitability, with evidence and reproduction steps, and include one retest after remediation. Testing runs against staging by default, with production testing in an agreed window under defined rules of engagement.
Key deliverables
- Manual penetration test of applications and infrastructure
- Report with severity, evidence and reproduction steps
- Executive summary
- One retest after remediation

Our process
How we deliver
A delivery process you can see into — from first workshop to production support.
- 01
Discovery
A focused working session on your objectives, constraints and existing systems. It concludes with a scoped proposal and a clear view of value, risk and effort.
- 02
Architecture & planning
We agree the target architecture, data model and integration approach before product code is written, and secure your sign-off.
- 03
Iterative delivery
Working software reaches a staging environment on a regular cadence, giving stakeholders continuous visibility and the ability to steer priorities.
- 04
Assurance & hardening
Automated testing, accessibility and performance budgets, and a security review are completed before anything reaches production.
- 05
Launch & continuity
We manage cutover and remain engaged through an agreed support period, with a structured handover to your teams or ongoing operation by ours.
Engagement models
Work with us the way that suits you
Outcome-based delivery
A defined scope, timeline and commercial model agreed after discovery. We own delivery risk against the agreed outcomes.
Best for: Well-defined initiatives, MVPs and first releases
Dedicated product teams
A cross-functional pod — engineering, design, QA and delivery leadership — aligned to your roadmap and scaled as priorities change.
Best for: Long-term product development and evolving roadmaps
Team extension
Senior engineers embed in your organisation, work inside your processes and report to your leaders — on contracts that assign all IP to you.
Best for: Adding specialist capability without growing headcount

Engagement models that fit
Outcome-based delivery, dedicated product teams, team extension or global capability centres, matched to how your organisation prefers to work.
A verifiable track record
Every customer story we publish describes real production work, naming the client wherever confidentiality allows, including public-sector platforms secured through competitive tenders.
80+ projects in 16 countries
