Cybersecurity Testing

Security is only as good as it is tested.

At Techlab, we believe that rigorous cybersecurity testing is the most effective way to identify weaknesses before attackers do. Our Security Testing & Risk Assessment services are designed to simulate real-world adversarial behavior, uncover exploitable vulnerabilities, and provide actionable intelligence to harden your environment.

We go beyond basic scanning and compliance checklists. Our testing methodology is built on real-world attacker techniques, aligned with MITRE ATT&CK, OWASP, and industry-specific risk models. We help you understand how an adversary thinks—and whether your controls are working.

A Structured & Modular Framework

We deliver cybersecurity testing using a modular, framework-aligned model, spanning six security domains:

1. External Exposure & Perimeter Breach

We begin by identifying all externally accessible systems, services, and APIs that might be exploited by adversaries. This includes:

Comprehensive scanning of internet-facing IP ranges, domains, cloud assets, and hosted applications
Exploitation of known vulnerabilities such as outdated software versions, misconfigured services, or exposed administrative interfaces
Testing of web and mobile applications for common flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), and insecure APIs
Specialized analysis for IoT, industrial systems, and blockchain nodes where applicable

Our goal is to replicate what real attackers see and do—before they strike.

2. Internal Breach Simulation & Exploitation

We simulate the scenario of an attacker who has breached your outer defenses, either via phishing, misused credentials, or insider threats. This phase involves:

Testing from the perspective of a user with minimal access or an unprivileged workstation
Scanning for lateral movement paths, shared drives, and unprotected credentials
Privilege escalation from basic user to domain administrator or database owner
Assessing network segmentation and the ability to compromise crown jewels from internal vantage points

This enables you to identify how far an attacker could go once inside.

3. Code, Configuration & Logic Weaknesses

Security isn’t only about firewalls—it’s about the logic and code that run your services. We:

Conduct secure code reviews for web, mobile, and backend platforms, identifying insecure logic, unvalidated inputs, and flawed session handling
Analyze cloud and on-prem infrastructure configurations (e.g., IAM policies, security groups, firewall rules)
Review infrastructure-as-code (IaC) templates and CI/CD pipelines for embedded secrets, overly permissive roles, and shadow access

This helps shift security left into the development lifecycle and reduce architectural debt.

4. Human Element & Social Engineering

Even with perfect systems, human behavior remains the biggest risk. Our human-centric testing includes:

Phishing campaigns with customized lures, payload tracking, and user interaction analysis
Vishing (voice phishing) simulations to test operator awareness
Physical security testing (where authorized), such as tailgating, USB drops, or facility mapping
Assessment of user awareness training programs and feedback loops

This phase builds your organization’s social resilience and identifies training gaps.

5. Detection, Response & Cyber Strategy

We test not just what attackers can do—but how well you detect and respond. This includes:

Controlled compromise scenarios to validate SOC and incident response readiness
Red Team operations that leave minimal indicators, testing threat hunting capabilities
Compromise assessments that search for existing indicators of breach (IoCs)
Cyber war-gaming and table-top simulations with business leaders and responders

This validates your response strategy and readiness at both technical and executive levels.

6. Posture Management & Continuous Risk Review

Security testing should not be a once-a-year exercise. We help clients evolve to continuous posture management by:

Implementing digital risk protection tools to monitor brand impersonation, data leaks, and surface exposure
Monitoring the deep and dark web for credential leaks or malicious chatter
Enabling continuous attack surface discovery with scheduled scans and drift detection
Integrating third-party risk validation across your vendor and partner ecosystem

By adopting this proactive and ongoing approach, you stay ahead of threats and keep risk under control.

Delivery Models for Every Maturity Level

We offer flexible engagement models to suit your organization’s maturity and risk appetite:

One-Time Penetration Testing: Ideal for compliance checks, product go-live reviews, and infrastructure baselining.
Red Team Engagements: Simulated real-world attacks targeting organizational objectives (e.g., data exfiltration).
Purple Team Sessions: Collaborative attacker-defender exercises involving your Blue Team or SOC.
Continuous Testing Models: Recurring assessments with evolving threat tracking and remediation loops.

Tooling & Tactics: Real Adversary Emulation

We use a blend of commercial and custom tools, including:

Cobalt Strike, Burp Suite Pro, and manual exploits
Custom scripting (Python, Bash, PowerShell)
Threat behaviors aligned with MITRE ATT&CK, TIBER-EU, and industry threat intel

Our findings are always validated, reproducible, and mapped to business context, including CVSS scores and operational risk.

What You Get

With Techlab’s testing engagements, you receive:

1. Clear, risk-prioritized findings (CVSS + business impact)

2. Tactical and strategic remediation steps

3. Executive summaries and technical appendices

4. Optional retesting to confirm resolution

5. Full compliance with NDA, PDPA, and data handling policies

More Than a Report — A Partnership

We go beyond delivery. Our consultants guide you through the findings, provide remediation planning, and align with your internal teams to improve outcomes. Our goal is not to leave you with a stack of paperwork—it’s to leave you stronger.

Whether you need deep technical validation or executive-level confidence, Techlab’s Cybersecurity Testing services are built to scale with your needs—and to grow your resilience against modern threats.
