Capabilities
Our Assessment Services
Three distinct approaches to security assessment
Capabilities / 01
Penetration Testing
Simulate real attacks against your systems to find security weaknesses before attackers do. We test your infrastructure the same way threat actors would, identifying vulnerabilities that could lead to breaches.
- Web Application & API Testing
- Internal & External Infrastructure
- Cloud Security (Azure/AWS)
Capabilities / 02
Advanced Phishing
We use realistic attacks that show how real attackers breach organizations. Our approach includes OSINT-based pretexting, social engineering, and AitM attacks that bypass MFA to test your email security and user awareness.
- OSINT-based Pretexting
- AitM (MFA Bypass) Testing
- Payload Execution Testing
Capabilities / 03
Attack Surface Mapping
Discover and catalog all exposed assets, services, and entry points across your digital footprint. We identify what's visible to attackers, map your external attack surface, and prioritize risks based on exposure and exploitability.
- External Asset Discovery
- Service Enumeration
- Risk Prioritization

Our Methodology
Systematic approach to uncovering vulnerabilities
Scoping
We start by understanding your environment, business objectives, and compliance needs. We define realistic goals and rules of engagement so the assessment matches your requirements.
Reconnaissance & Discovery
We gather intelligence using passive and active techniques. We discover exposed assets for attack surface mapping, conduct OSINT research for phishing simulations, and identify entry points for penetration testing.
Vulnerability Identification & Testing
We identify vulnerabilities using tools and manual testing. During penetration testing, we find exploitable weaknesses. For phishing simulations, we craft realistic campaigns. For attack surface mapping, we catalog exposed assets. Automated scanners miss business logic flaws, we focus on what matters.
Exploitation & Validation
We simulate real-world attacks to test whether vulnerabilities can be exploited. We execute penetration testing exploits, run phishing campaigns, and validate attack surface findings. Our controlled testing shows actual risk, prioritizing exploitable flaws over theoretical vulnerabilities.
Reporting & Recommendations
You receive reports with findings, risk levels, and recommendations. We walk through the results in a debrief so you understand what's vulnerable, how attackers would exploit it, and what the business impact is.
Validation Testing & Follow-up
After you fix identified vulnerabilities, retesting confirms they're resolved. We review fixes, provide guidance, and validate improvements through targeted retesting.

Evidence delivered
What You Receive
Executive Summary
A high-level overview for leadership covering business risk, key findings, and strategic recommendations. Written in non-technical language that executives can understand.
Technical Report
Documentation of all vulnerabilities found, including proof-of-concept exploits, risk ratings, CVSS scores, and remediation steps. For your technical teams.
Prioritized Remediation Plan
A roadmap for addressing findings, prioritized by risk and business impact. Includes timelines, resource requirements, and quick wins you can implement right away.
Live Debrief Session
A joint walkthrough of findings with your team, where we explain attack paths, demonstrate exploits, and answer questions. This interactive session ensures everyone understands the risks and remediation steps.

Why this matters
Why It Matters
Protect your organization before attackers force you to
Identify Vulnerabilities Before Attackers Do
Uncover hidden weaknesses in your infrastructure and applications. We test your stack to identify exploitable flaws that could lead to breaches. Automated scanners miss most real vulnerabilities, we use manual techniques to find what matters.
Meet Compliance & Regulatory Requirements
Organizations across Europe often need to demonstrate security due diligence for NIS2, GDPR, ISO 27001, or industry regulations. Our assessments provide evidence of your security posture and help meet these requirements.
Validate Security Investments
Verify that your security controls actually work. We test whether firewalls, email security, and detection systems function as intended when under attack.
Improve Incident Response
Real-world simulations prepare your team. By experiencing controlled attacks, your team learns to detect and contain threats effectively.
Build Stakeholder Trust
Show that you protect sensitive data. This builds trust with partners and stakeholders who rely on your security.

Questions before scope
Questions before scope
What services are included in EVALUATE?+
EVALUATE is our offensive security pillar. It includes three distinct services: Penetration Testing (identifying vulnerabilities in infrastructure and applications), Advanced Phishing Simulations (testing email security and user awareness with OSINT-based campaigns and AitM attacks), and Attack Surface Mapping (discovering and cataloging all exposed assets and entry points). Each service can be purchased separately or combined.
How much does a security assessment cost?+
Costs vary based on scope, environment size, and complexity. Pricing depends on which services you need (penetration testing, phishing simulations, or attack surface mapping), the number of systems tested, and reporting requirements. We provide customized quotes tailored to your specific needs. Contact B-OPS to discuss your requirements and receive a detailed estimate.
Will security assessments disrupt business operations?+
No. Our assessments are designed to be safe and controlled. We coordinate with your IT and security teams beforehand and schedule testing during maintenance windows when possible. There's no operational impact. All testing activities are logged and can be paused immediately if issues arise.
Can advanced phishing simulations bypass MFA?+
Yes. Using Adversary-in-the-Middle (AitM) techniques like Evilginx, we can proxy authentication flows and capture session cookies even when MFA is enabled. This demonstrates that MFA alone isn't enough, you need layered security controls and user awareness. We coordinate all testing with your security team to ensure safety.
What's the difference between penetration testing and red teaming?+
Penetration testing identifies and validates specific vulnerabilities in your systems. Red teaming simulates a real attacker to test your detection and response capabilities. Penetration tests focus on finding vulnerabilities. Red team exercises test your entire security program.
Do I need penetration testing if I already have vulnerability scanning?+
Yes. Automated scanning finds known issues but misses business logic flaws, configuration errors, and complex attack chains. Penetration testing uses manual techniques to find exploitable weaknesses that tools miss. Vulnerability scanning finds open doors. Penetration testing shows which doors attackers can actually use.
Should I provide you with documentation and credentials (Gray Box) or nothing (Black Box)?+
We recommend Gray Box testing (authenticated access). It is more cost-efficient than Black Box because we don't waste time guessing targets. It allows us to focus immediately on high-impact vulnerabilities and internal lateral movement.
