Penetration Testing

Our Approach:

We combine elite offensive security skills with automation and simulations. Certified ethical hackers assess your defenses with real-world techniques.

What We Do:

We simulate advanced cyberattacks using real-world techniques, targeting your organization's most critical assets. This includes external threats (like remote attackers) and internal risks (like compromised accounts or insider threats).

Why It Matters:

Penetration testing reveals not just if you’re vulnerable, but how those vulnerabilities can be exploited in practice — and what real-world damage could follow. It provides proof of risk and prioritizes fixes based on impact, not just theoretical exposure.

Executive Insight:

This isn’t just a checklist exercise. Our penetration testing shows how attackers think, move, and exploit gaps in your environment. The process gives leadership visibility into business-critical risks, validates the effectiveness of existing controls, and guides security investment with evidence-backed insights. Ultimately, it helps answer the question: If we were attacked tomorrow, how far could they get — and how can we stop them?

Process:
  1. Reconnaissance & Target Mapping
    • Collect public and internal data to identify exposed systems, users, and services.
    • Build a detailed profile of your attack surface.
  2. Vulnerability Discovery & Exploitation
    • Use automated tools and manual techniques to find and exploit weaknesses.
    • Verify which vulnerabilities are truly exploitable.
  3. Post-Exploitation & Lateral Movement
    • Explore attacker capabilities after initial breach.
    • Include privilege escalation and access to sensitive systems or data.
  4. Reporting & Interactive Debrief
    • Provide a detailed report with prioritized findings and remediation steps.
    • Conduct live walkthroughs to explain attack paths and defense gaps.

Government Risk and Compliance

Our Approach: We help align your systems with government standards through gap analysis, control implementation, and audit preparation.

Process:
  1. Standards-Based Gap Analysis
    • Evaluate your current security posture against applicable government frameworks (e.g., NIST 800-53, FISMA, FedRAMP).
    • Identify control gaps, policy shortfalls, and areas of elevated risk.
    • Prioritize findings based on compliance impact and business risk.
  2. Policy, Procedure & Documentation Review
    • Assess existing security policies, SOPs, and governance documentation for completeness and alignment with regulatory expectations.
    • Recommend revisions or create missing documentation to meet control requirements.
    • Ensure roles and responsibilities are clearly defined across security and compliance functions.
  3. Control Implementation & Validation
    • Assist with the implementation of technical, physical, and administrative controls tailored to your environment.
    • Validate control effectiveness through testing, walkthroughs, or technical evaluation.
    • Align configurations and practices with continuous monitoring requirements.
  4. Audit Readiness & Reporting
    • Prepare audit-ready documentation, including control mappings, risk assessments, and evidence packages.
    • Support internal reviews, third-party audits, or government assessments.
    • Deliver compliance reports with actionable remediation plans and timelines.

Network Operations (NetOps)

Network Intrusion Analysis

Our Approach: GazTech specializes in precise compromise assessments, proactively hunting for signs of current or past unauthorized access within your network. Using advanced forensic techniques and threat intelligence, we meticulously analyze network traffic, logs, and artifacts to detect indicators of compromise (IOCs), persistent threats, and hidden attacker activity. Our tailored approach ensures rapid identification of breaches, delivering clear, actionable insights to eradicate threats and prevent recurrence.

Process:
  1. Data Collection & Log Aggregation
    • Collect network logs, traffic captures, and relevant security artifacts from across the environment.
