Our renewal is in eight weeks. Is that enough time?

Usually, yes. A focused external and identity test with an evidence pack fits inside eight weeks with room to fix the worst of it first. Tell us the renewal date on the call and we will scope backwards from it.

Vulnerability scan, vulnerability assessment, penetration test. Which do we actually need?

A scan tells you what is theoretically exposed. An assessment adds a human reading the results and sorting the noise from the risk. A penetration test proves which of those paths an attacker could actually walk. Most insurers and auditors want the third one.

Will testing take something down?

Rules of engagement are written and signed before anything runs. High-risk steps are scheduled inside change windows you pick, throttled, and monitored live with your team on the line.

What do we actually receive at the end?

An executive summary with risk-ranked findings in business language, and a technical pack with proof of each finding, step-by-step remediation, retest criteria, and a 30-60-90 day plan naming an owner and effort estimate for every item.

Which frameworks do you map findings to?

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework, ISO 27001, the CIS Controls, PCI DSS, and your own internal policy set. Every finding is tagged to a specific control.

We already have a security team. What do you add?

A second set of eyes that does not know how the environment is supposed to work. Internal teams are excellent at defending what they built and structurally blind to the assumptions they built it on.

Security & Cloud Risk Assessments

WHAT WE TEST

Four ways to find out what an attacker already knows

Scope is built around your trigger, whether that is a renewal questionnaire, an audit finding, or an incident at a company that looks a lot like yours.

Penetration testing

Our offensive security team attacks your environment the way a real crew would, under rules of engagement you approve first. You get proof of what worked, not a catalog of theoretical risk.

External and internal network testing
Identity and Active Directory path mapping
Evidence artifacts your insurer or auditor will accept
Retest of every critical finding once you have fixed it

Ransomware readiness

We emulate the crews actually hitting mid-market manufacturers and regional banks, then measure how far they get before something stops them. The output is a blast radius, meaning how far a real attack would spread across your sites.

Threat-actor emulation against your live controls
Backup and recovery validation, tested not assumed
Spread mapped across plants, branches, and stores
Detection gaps ranked by containment impact

Application and cloud testing

Your customer-facing apps and your Azure or AWS tenant get tested by the same people who run our cloud security practice. Findings come with the fix attached, not just the flag.

Web and interface testing, exploitable findings only
Azure and AWS configuration review
Checked against the benchmarks your auditor uses, including PCI DSS
Remediation notes your developers can act on

Purple team exercise

Our attackers and your defenders in the same room, working live scenarios. Your team gets better during the engagement rather than after they finish reading a report.

Live attack scenarios with real-time coaching
Detection rules tuned as gaps surface
Coverage mapped to known attacker techniques
Runbooks your team writes and keeps

HOW IT RUNS

Four weeks, two reports, zero surprises on the plant floor

The most common worry we hear is not about what we will find. It is about what testing might break on the way there.

A TYPICAL ENGAGEMENT

Week one, we agree rules of engagement and change windows together. Nothing runs against a production line, a trading window, or month-end close without your sign-off in writing.

Weeks two and three, we test. If something high-risk needs to happen, an engineer is on the phone with your team while it happens.

Week four, you get two documents. An executive summary your CFO can read in ten minutes, and a technical findings pack your engineers can start on Monday. If the plan that comes out of it needs someone to actually run it, our fractional CISO team can, and we will say so plainly if it does not.

WHY NETRIX

Anyone can hand you a PDF. Fewer will stay and help you fix it.

The engineers who test your environment are the engineers who help you fix it. Nothing gets handed to a delivery team that was never in the room.
Findings are ranked by what they would cost your business, not by a scanner's severity score. A critical on an isolated dev box is not a critical.
Every critical finding gets a retest at no charge, so you can show your insurer or your auditor that the gap is genuinely closed.
We work in Microsoft-centric environments every day. Entra ID, Intune, Defender, and the hybrid Active Directory nobody has fully decommissioned yet.
If the plan calls for something bigger, a 24x7 monitoring team or ongoing vulnerability management, the same people can run it. If it does not, we will tell you that too.

BEFORE YOU CALL

The questions we get every week

START HERE

The fastest way to know where you stand is to let someone try.

Thirty minutes with a security engineer. Bring your renewal questionnaire, your last audit finding, or just the thing about your network that has been bothering you.

Talk to a security engineer

No pitch deck, and no scoping call wearing a discovery call's clothes. If a full assessment is not what you need right now, we will say that on the call.

You have a list of findings. You need a list of decisions.
