Security Is Not a Feature —It Is the Foundation Everything Else Depends On.

We find vulnerabilities before attackers do. Methodical, evidence-based security assessment and remediation — with a report your team can actually act on.

The threat landscape

Nobody is too small to target.

Most initial attacks are fully automated. Scanners probe every internet-connected IP address and domain continuously — hunting misconfigured services, unpatched plugins, exposed admin interfaces. They do not check your company size before trying the door.

01
The scanners never stop.

Automated tooling targets every internet-connected system continuously. Company size is irrelevant to a bot working its way down a list of IP addresses.

02
Smaller teams, thinner defences.

Smaller businesses often run with lower defences and far less incident response capability — which is exactly what makes them worth an attacker’s time.

03
A breach can be existential.

Ransom demands, regulatory fines, and customer notification costs arrive together — and rarely at a moment the business can absorb them.

04
Reputation takes years back.

The reputational damage from a security incident outlasts the technical clean-up by years. Customers remember the notification email.

05
Your data is worth taking.

Customer records, financial data, and intellectual property make every business a worthwhile target — whatever its headcount.

Our approach

Not a scan — an adversarial assessment.

A vulnerability scan identifies known signatures in known software versions. A penetration test goes further — a human tester actively attempts to exploit weaknesses, chains multiple lower-severity issues a scanner would never combine, and tests business logic flaws no automated tool can detect.

01
Reconnaissance first.We map the attack surface — publicly exposed endpoints, authentication mechanisms, data flows, and infrastructure configuration.
02
Automated scanning for the known.We catalogue exposed services, known vulnerabilities in dependencies, and common misconfigurations across the full stack.
03
Manual exploitation attempts.Systematic testing against the OWASP Top 10 and additional scenarios relevant to your application type and stack.
04
Privilege escalation and chaining.We attempt to move from one compromised component to others — the chaining that separates a real assessment from a scan report.
05
Business logic testing.Flaws no automated scanner can find — authorisation bypass, insecure direct object references, and broken workflows.
06
Evidence collected for every finding.Documented with clear proof, so you know exactly what was found and how a real attacker could exploit it.
What you receive

A report your team can act on.

Every finding includes what it is, where it is, risk rating, evidence, business impact, and a specific remediation recommendation. After remediation, we retest every fixed finding and update the report with confirmed resolution status.

Executive summary

One page covering overall risk posture and the critical findings, written in plain language for the people who sign off on the budget.

Technical findings

Every vulnerability documented with a severity rating, supporting evidence, and the business impact if it were exploited.

Prioritised remediation

Sorted into immediate action, short-term work within 30 days, and longer-term hardening — so your team knows what to fix first.

Retest commitment

We retest every fixed finding and confirm resolution in writing. The engagement does not close on an assumption.

No jargon

Written so technical teams and decision-makers can both read the same document without needing a translator.

Secure development

The cheapest bug is the one never written.

Secure code review, threat modelling, developer security training, and dependency scanning — the practices that keep vulnerabilities out of the codebase before anyone has to find them.

01
Secure code review.

Identifying vulnerabilities at the code level, during development, where they are cheapest to fix — long before they reach production.

02
Threat modelling.

A structured analysis of what an attacker might attempt — applied during architecture and design, not bolted on as an afterthought.

03
Developer security training.

Practical sessions covering the OWASP Top 10, secure coding patterns, and the specific mistakes we find most often in assessments.

04
Dependency scanning in CI/CD.

Automated detection of vulnerable third-party libraries wired into the pipeline — so new vulnerabilities are caught before deployment.

How it works

From scope to confirmed fix.

Five stages from rules of engagement to a retested, written confirmation that every finding is closed.

Dexsof team at work
01
Scope Definition

We define exactly what will be tested, what is out of scope, and the rules of engagement before any security testing begins.

02
Reconnaissance & Assessment

We map the attack surface — publicly exposed endpoints, authentication mechanisms, data flows, and infrastructure.

03
Vulnerability Testing

Systematic testing against OWASP Top 10 and additional scenarios relevant to your application type and stack.

04
Reporting

A detailed report covers every finding with severity rating, evidence, and a prioritised remediation recommendation. No jargon — actionable clarity.

05
Remediation Support

We work with your development team to fix identified vulnerabilities and retest to confirm they are resolved before closing the engagement.

What clients say

Voices from the people we built for.

Dexsof rebuilt a system we'd been promised twice before. They shipped in eleven weeks what two other teams couldn't in eighteen months — and the code is the cleanest I've reviewed in a decade.
Priya Anand
VP Engineering · Helix
★★★★★
Genuine senior engineers. The kind who say 'we shouldn't build that' before we waste a quarter on the wrong thing.
Ana Souza
Founder · Verda
★★★★★
We came for a 6-week prototype. Three years later they still run our core platform.
Idris Khan
Head of Engineering · Cantilever
★★★★★
The team integrated seamlessly with our in-house engineers and elevated the entire output. We shipped on time and under budget.
Marcus Lee
CTO · Structr
★★★★★
The mobile app they built has a 4.8-star rating on the App Store. The UX work alone was worth every dollar.
Sofia Reyes

FAQ

Common questions.

Anything not covered here, ask us directly — we answer within 24 hours.

Do we need a penetration test or a vulnerability scan?

A scan identifies known vulnerabilities automatically. A penetration test involves a human tester actively attempting to exploit weaknesses. Both have value — pen testing finds what scanners miss, particularly chained vulnerabilities and business logic flaws.

How often should we do a security assessment?

Annually at minimum, and after any significant changes to the application or infrastructure. Continuous monitoring is preferable for production systems handling sensitive data.

Is our application likely to be targeted if we are a small business?

Most attacks are automated and indiscriminate — size does not provide protection. Small businesses with weak security are frequently targeted precisely because attackers expect easy access.

Will the testing affect our live systems?

Testing is conducted in a controlled manner against agreed targets. Critical production systems are typically tested in a staging environment or during low-traffic windows to avoid any disruption.
