About DarkPoint Security

Our Approach

At DarkPoint Security, we believe that meaningful security testing demands more than running automated scanners and packaging the output into a report. Our methodology is built on a manual-first philosophy: every engagement begins with our consultants working hands-on to understand your environment, map attack surfaces, and simulate the techniques that real adversaries use to compromise organizations.

Automated vulnerability scanners serve a purpose in the reconnaissance and discovery phases, but they cannot replicate the creativity and contextual reasoning of a skilled attacker. Our consultants go beyond surface-level findings to chain vulnerabilities together, escalate privileges across trust boundaries, and demonstrate the actual business impact of each weakness. This approach consistently uncovers critical issues that automated tools miss entirely -- business logic flaws, authentication bypasses, insecure direct object references, and complex multi-step attack paths that require human judgment to identify and exploit.

We simulate real-world attack scenarios tailored to your specific infrastructure and threat profile. Whether that means crafting custom exploits for a bespoke application, pivoting through segmented networks to reach sensitive data, or bypassing multi-factor authentication through logic flaws, our testing reflects the tactics, techniques, and procedures used by sophisticated threat actors. The result is a clear, evidence-based picture of your organization's security posture and a prioritized roadmap for remediation.

Every engagement concludes with a detailed report that goes well beyond listing vulnerabilities. We provide step-by-step reproduction instructions, root cause analysis, and actionable remediation guidance that your development and infrastructure teams can implement immediately. We also include remediation validation retesting as part of every engagement, confirming that fixes are effective and complete before we close out findings.

Services We Offer

DarkPoint Security provides a comprehensive suite of penetration testing and security assessment services designed to evaluate your organization's defenses from every angle. Each service follows a structured methodology grounded in industry standards and delivers actionable findings tailored to your environment.

• Internal Network Penetration Testing -- Simulates an attacker who has gained initial access to your internal network. We test lateral movement paths, privilege escalation opportunities, Active Directory weaknesses, and access controls protecting sensitive data and critical systems.
• External Network Penetration Testing -- Evaluates your internet-facing infrastructure for vulnerabilities that could allow an external attacker to gain unauthorized access to your network, applications, or data from the public internet.
• Web Application and API Testing -- Identifies security flaws in your web applications and APIs, including authentication bypasses, injection vulnerabilities, business logic errors, insecure direct object references, and sensitive data exposure.
• Cloud Security Assessments -- Reviews the security configuration and architecture of your cloud environments across AWS, Azure, and GCP, identifying misconfigurations, excessive permissions, insecure storage, and exposed resources.
• Red Team Engagements -- Full-scope adversary simulations that test your organization's detection and response capabilities across network, application, and human layers simultaneously, providing a realistic measure of your security operations.
• Social Engineering and Phishing -- Assesses your organization's susceptibility to phishing attacks and social engineering tactics through realistic simulation campaigns, with detailed metrics and targeted employee awareness recommendations.
• Source Code Security Review -- Manual review of application source code to identify vulnerabilities that may not be detectable through dynamic testing alone, including insecure coding patterns, hardcoded credentials, and cryptographic weaknesses.
• Wireless and Physical Penetration Testing -- Evaluates the security of your wireless network infrastructure and physical access controls, testing for rogue access points, weak encryption protocols, badge cloning, tailgating, and facility access bypass techniques.
