  3. 03

    Publish confirmed work

    Release validated findings and actions through the agreed customer workflow.

    Own remediation

    Retain status, ownership, discussion, guidance and exceptions against the original issue.

They delivered work that above our expectations by approaching each project with a deep understanding of our specifications. Their team demonstrated a remarkable degree of proficiency by effectively pinpointing weaknesses and offering practical suggestions to reduce possible hazards.
MDFortis Cyber Security Limited
Unlike previous pentests that produced generic outputs, this engagement gave us clear, prioritised actions with real-world attack scenarios. The platform visibility into assets, vulnerabilities and remediation progress has helped us mature our security posture significantly. The team were professional, responsive, and genuinely cared about improving our security rather than just ticking a box.
Head of ITHealthcare Technology Company
The red team and external attack surface management work highlighted blind spots we didn't know existed. What stood out was the strategic guidance alongside the technical delivery – helping us shape a longer-term security roadmap rather than a one-off engagement. This felt like a partnership, not just a transactional assessment.

IT Security SpecialistRightmove PLC
We engaged Pentesys and the team for a complex penetration test and adversary simulation. The quality of the technical findings, realism of the attack paths, and clarity of reporting were outstanding. The recommendations were practical and mapped clearly to business risk, which made board-level conversations much easier. We've since built Pentesys into our ongoing security assurance programme.
