Your pentest takes weeks. Attackers strike in hours.
HackingForge is a security partner for companies that want to know where they're exposed and prove they're in control. We test like attackers and build governance that auditors trust.
One year, week by week
Each block is one week
Most companies buy testing from one firm and compliance from another, then spend months reconciling the two. We do both, so a weakness we find becomes a managed risk instead of a line in a forgotten report.
Our testers are experienced offensive security practitioners. They use AI tooling to cover more ground more often and spend their own time on the problems that need a person: business logic, access control and the gaps between systems.
Our governance team builds management systems that reflect how your company actually works. Policies people follow, risks tied to real assets and evidence that's ready when the auditor asks.
-
01
Penetration testing
Human-led testing of your applications and infrastructure, supported by automated verification during the engagement.
-
02
Tabletop Exercises
Objective-based exercises that test people, process and technology together and show whether your detection and response hold up.
-
03
Governance, risk & compliance
Risk assessments, policy frameworks and control design, built to be run by your team rather than kept in a drawer.
-
04
Frameworks & certifications
From first gap assessment to certification audit and the surveillance audits after.
-
05
Virtual CISO
Senior security leadership, part-time. Strategy, roadmaps, board reporting and a steady hand when something goes wrong.
The HackingForge Platform
Your security testing in one place. See what's exposed, what's been tested and what still needs fixing, without waiting for next year's report.
Continuous testing
The platform re-tests your applications and infrastructure as they change. New hosts, new releases and configuration drift get looked at in days.
Findings checked by people
Every significant finding is verified by one of our testers before it reaches you. You get fewer, better findings with clear steps to fix them.
Fixes tracked to the end
Assign findings to owners, follow progress and have fixes re-tested automatically. Reports and evidence are ready to share with auditors and your board.
Compliance should leave you with a security programme that works, not a folder of documents written for the auditor.
- 1
Gap assessment
An honest view of where you stand against the standard and what it will take to close the gaps.
- 2
Scope and design
We agree the boundary of the management system and your statement of applicability.
- 3
Risk assessment
Risks identified against real assets and owners, with a treatment plan people can act on.
- 4
Controls and policies
We put the controls in place and fix the technical gaps. Our own testing feeds directly into the evidence.
- 5
Internal audit and review
We run the internal audit and management review the certification body will expect to see.
- 6
Certification and beyond
We support you through the Stage 1 and Stage 2 audits with your chosen certification body, then keep things current for surveillance audits.
Frameworks we work with: ISO 27001/SOC 2/ISO 27701/Cyber Essentials/GDPR/NIS2/PCI DSS
Evidence over opinion
We report what we can demonstrate. If we can't reproduce it, we don't put it in front of your engineers.
Your scope, strictly
You decide what we touch and when. Every action is logged and nothing destructive is ever part of the plan.
Start small
Plenty of clients begin with one test or one gap assessment. The rest can follow when it makes sense.
