Authorisation flaws in a multi-tenant payments API
Broken object-level authorisation identified and remediated before public launch.
Offensive security for the systems that matter
Identify vulnerabilities. Validate real-world risk. Strengthen your security.
Human-led security assessments, accelerated by modern automation and AI-assisted analysis — from a single penetration test to ongoing security operations.
Why SecByte
Experienced cybersecurity professionals, confidential handling of your data, and a process designed around the way engineering teams actually fix things.
Every engagement is run by an experienced consultant, not a scanner with a logo on the report.
Automation and AI accelerate discovery, correlation and triage. They never make the final call.
Findings are reproduced and evidenced by hand, so false positives never reach your backlog.
Executive summary, technical detail, CVSS scoring, evidence and clear remediation steps.
Scoped access, signed URLs for reports and evidence, and a private portal per organisation.
Once you remediate, we verify the fix and reissue the report with updated finding status.

How it works
Tell us the systems in scope and what you need to prove.
We size the engagement and issue a written quote.
You sign the rules of engagement and authorise testing.
Consultants execute the assessment inside the agreed window.
You receive an executive and technical report with evidence.
We support your team through fixes and risk decisions.
We verify the fixes and reissue the report.
Methodology
Asset and exposure discovery across the authorised scope.
Enumeration, fingerprinting and automated vulnerability identification.
Manual reproduction of every candidate issue; false positives removed.
Controlled exploitation where explicitly authorised, with evidence capture.
Business impact, CVSS scoring and prioritisation against your context.
Executive summary, technical detail, evidence and remediation guidance.
Debrief, fix guidance and support for your engineering team.
Verification of applied fixes and an updated, reissued report.
Human-led. AI-assisted.
We combine human expertise, mature tooling and AI-assisted analysis — then validate everything manually before it reaches your report. AI does not replace the consultant.
All SecByte testing is performed only against systems the client owns or is authorised to test, inside a written scope and an approved testing window.
