Proving Your Defenses Against Human Intelligence

New vulnerabilities are discovered every single day. Without a continuous approach to identifying and prioritizing these gaps, your organization stays exposed to risks it can’t even see. STSG moves well beyond annual scans to deliver real-time visibility into your full attack surface.

//WHY IT MATTERS //

The STSG Testing Guarantee:
Security Through Validation

We don't just hand you a list of problems. Every engagement is built on three commitments that turn testing into a plan of action.

List

Real Attacker Logic

We test the way threat actors do — the same tools and the same mindset — so what we find is what a real adversary would find, not a checklist theory.

List

Evidence, Not Theory

Every finding is backed by proof of concept, not assumption. You see exactly what was possible and how, so there's no guesswork about the risk.

List

A Roadmap, Not a Report

We don't just hand you a list of problems. Every engagement ends with prioritized, actionable next steps ranked by real business risk.

// WHAT'S INCLUDED //

What's Included in Managed Backup Strategies

Immutable architecture, air-gapped isolation, hybrid cloud redundancy, application-aware capture, and nightly verification — combined so a pristine copy of your data always survives.

List

The 3-2-1-1-0 Backup Standard

Three copies, two media types, one off-site and one offline immutable copy — verified with zero errors through automated recovery testing on every cycle.

List

Immutable Storage & Logical Air-Gapping

WORM object-lock and logical air-gapping create a recovery environment fully isolated from production — untouchable even by a compromised administrator.

List

Cloud Disaster Recovery & Hybrid Redundancy

On-site flash storage delivers rapid file and VM recovery, while simultaneous replication to encrypted cloud regions protects against local and regional outages.

// WHAT'S INCLUDED //

What's Included in
Penetration Testing

Network, application, and human-layer testing, each performed by senior engineers and documented with proof — combined so you see exactly what a real attacker could do, and exactly how to stop them.

List
01

Network & Infrastructure Penetration Testing

We test external and internal environments — from initial foothold attempts to post-compromise lateral movement — plus wireless auditing of Wi-Fi encryption and guest isolation.

List
02

Web Application & API Security Testing

We go beyond automated scanning to find logic-layer flaws tools miss — bypassed payment gateways, exposed user data, broken authorization — and test APIs for overly permissive endpoints.

List
03

Social Engineering & Human Risk Testing

The best defenses can fall to one well-crafted message. We evaluate real-world security awareness with phishing, voice-based vishing, and optional on-site badge/tailgating attempts.

List
04

Evidence-Based Reporting & Recovery Roadmap

Every successful exploit is documented with proof-of-concept and ranked using CVSS overlaid with business context, ending in a prioritized, code-level recovery roadmap.

 

 

// Industries We Support //

Testing Tailored to Your Sector

We scope every assessment and penetration test to the compliance realities and threat models of the industries we serve.

List

Healthcare

HIPAA requires proof, not promises. Our assessments and pen tests protect patient records and clinical systems while satisfying auditors.

List

Financial Services

PCI-DSS compliance demands regular, documented testing. We validate payment systems and cardholder data environments against real attacker logic.

List

SMBs

Limited IT staff doesn't mean limited risk. We deliver enterprise-grade testing scaled to fit small and mid-sized budgets and teams.

List

Manufacturing

OT and IT convergence opens new attack paths. We validate industrial control systems and production networks without disrupting operations.

List

Education

Distributed campuses and research data create a wide attack surface. We help schools and universities validate defenses across every connected system.

List

Non-Profit

Donor data and lean security budgets are a risky mix. We help mission-driven organizations find gaps before attackers exploit trust.

// How We Work //

A Proven Process for Reliable Testing

Every testing engagement follows the same disciplined, transparent process — so you always know the next step and the reason behind it. It's the same proven approach featured across the STSG site.

Discover

We learn your business, your critical assets, and what a breach would cost you.

Assess

We scope the engagement and map your attack surface across every in-scope system.

Plan

We design a testing plan mapped to your risk, compliance needs, and rules of engagement.

Implement

We test with real attacker logic and document every finding with proof of concept.

Ask Your Question: contact@stsg.com

A scan lists potential weaknesses automatically. A penetration test has senior engineers actively exploit those weaknesses — chaining them together the way a real attacker would — to prove what's genuinely achievable in your environment, not just what's theoretically possible.

Yes. Because the best technical defenses can fall to one convincing message, we test the human perimeter with phishing, voice-based vishing, and optional on-site badge and tailgating attempts to measure real-world security awareness.

We work within clearly agreed rules of engagement designed to prove impact without causing damage. Testing is carefully scoped and controlled, and for sensitive systems we adapt our approach so operations aren't disrupted.

We document every successful exploit with proof-of-concept evidence and rank it using CVSS, overlaid with your business context. You get a prioritized recovery roadmap with specific configuration and code-level fixes — not just a list of findings.
