Cybersecurity And Penetration Testing: From Strategy to Production

A pentest is the most direct way to measure your real exposure: we pressure-test defenses with attacker-grade tactics, reveal exploitable paths, and give your teams clear fixes and a plan. This turns “theoretical risk” into prioritized, provable action

Stop modern attacks before they start

Validate that tools, policies, and runbooks actually block real attack chains—before adversaries do. See how vulnerabilities chain across apps, APIs, cloud, and identity to impact your business

Prioritize what matters & fix faster

Get developer-ready steps, evidence, and a remediation roadmap—plus an executive summary your board can act on. Re-test included to verify fixes and close the loop

Win deals & reassure stakeholders

Third-party testing removes friction in security reviews and vendor assessments and helps convert prospects

Support certifications & audits

Use results to prepare for ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS and similar audits; run pre-assessment testing to fix issues early

Uplift people & processes

Social-engineering campaigns (phishing/vishing) expose real process gaps and drive targeted training that sticks

A partner that adapts to your stack

Packaged audits or bespoke programs, aligned to your SDLC and risk profile—web, mobile, IoT, cloud, network, and identity

Data-driven Decisions

What You Get From Our Development Team

Highly specialized in pentest, Plavno runs security audits for:

Web platforms

Penetration testing uncovers weaknesses in browser-based applications and services, helping secure user data and prevent unauthorized access over the internet

Mobile applications

Security testing of mobile apps ensures safe access to on-the-go services, protecting sensitive device information and communications from exploitation

IoT & connected devices

Penetration testing evaluates the security of internet-connected physical devices, identifying risks in data collection, automation controls, and remote management to prevent breaches and tampering

Competitive Ability

Methods & Depth of testing

Real-world performance metrics that demonstrate the system`s capabilities in production environments

Typical timeline (varies by scope)

How often to test: at least annually or after significant change; high-risk / regulated environments more frequently (quarterly+)

Planning & scoping

2–3 weeks

Execution

1–2 weeks

Analysis & reporting

Black Box, Gray Box, White Box

From external attacker perspective to code-assisted deep dives.

Phases we follow

Reconnaissance → scanning → vulnerability assessment → exploitation → reporting

We develop with AI

Attack Prevention

Penetration Testing Scope & Coverage

Web platforms

Authentication/authorization, business-logic abuse, data exposure, injection, SSRF, IDOR, session management, API security.

Real-world: black-box ecommerce pentests found critical logic flaws enabling fraud, DB access, and DoS; continuous audits keep new features safe

Mobile applications

Secure storage, auth flows, reverse-engineering resistance, API interactions.

Findings we often fix: hardcoded secrets, insecure storage, outdated libs

IoT & connected devices

Firmware/interface security, credential policy, radio/protocol and physical vectors.

Case: insecure default password allowed takeover of a sensitive device; fixes rolled into network & ERP hardening

Infrastructure & network

External perimeter mapping (OSINT), service fingerprinting, misconfigurations, patch status, privilege escalation.

Typical: outdated services, weak segmentation, default creds

Social engineering

Phishing/vishing against staff and execs to reveal process gaps and training needs; we supply playbooks and training plans.

Observed: moderate phish hit-rate; vishing exposed ID-verification gaps

Information systems

Black- and grey-box analysis of auth workflows, role partitioning, and privilege escalation.

Outcome: weaknesses in in-house SSO fixed to significantly raise auth security

Case Studies

Our clients achieve real results

View all case studies

Crypto exchange

Gray-box web app + black-box external network + internal audit + compliance gap analysis → non-critical vulns & policy gaps; ongoing improvements year-over-year

Fintech

Overall black-box + social engineering; later deep-dive grey/white-box SSO review; human-factor issues persisted, SSO weaknesses fixed to harden auth

IT consulting (ERP)

Black- then grey-box testing found cross-cutting ERP design issues; network & code fixes implemented, processes improved

Ecommerce / Retail

Recon audit to map attack surface; black-box pentest surfaced critical logic flaws and DB access; on a cadence of recurring audits

Solutions Suitable for You

Engagement Models & Budgeting

Three distinct approaches to project pricing and delivery, each tailored to different client needs and project characteristics

Fixed-Price Scopes

When targets and depth are clear

Time & Material

For evolving, multi-wave testing. We quote end-to-end cost and deliver within client budget constraints (your internal staffing model stays opaque to the client)

Drivers of cost & duration

Type, number, and complexity of targets (e.g., broad networks vs single app)

Best Practices

Compliance & Standards

Whether you're heading into an audit or striving for certified compliance, we support multiple regulatory frameworks and standards.

Supported Standards & Frameworks

With our approach, you don’t just get a penetration test — you gain a security partner who helps you align with compliance across jurisdictions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick Answers

Find answers to your common concerns

Pentest vs. vulnerability scan — what’s the difference?

Scanning is automated detection; pentest is expert-led exploitation proving impact and chaining weaknesses. Both are useful, but pentest answers “what can an attacker really do?”.

Do you train teams and verify fixes?

Yes — secure-coding workshops, social-engineering awareness, and fast re-tests after remediation

What report will my board see?

A concise executive summary with business impact and prioritized roadmap; engineers receive a deep technical report with PoCs and step-by-step remediation

How often should we conduct security assessments?

Regular assessments are recommended, with annual pentests and quarterly vulnerability scans, adjusting frequency based on risk, changes in the environment, and compliance requirements
