Operator-Led Offensive Security. Platform-Backed Risk Lifecycle.
Scope, Validate, Remediate, and Retest Security Findings in One System
1. Start with Credential Evaluation
Find out which credentials would create real risk if an attacker got inside.
Password policy and MFA do not show which accounts are already weak, reused, or exposed. Scapien’s free credential evaluation tests that gap directly.
“Your policy says strong. Your environment may say something else.”
You run a small script for Active Directory or Entra. It extracts only encrypted credential material. No agents, no production access, and no unnecessary directory data.
We evaluate the file over a 12-day attacker dwell-time window, then send a summary showing cracked credentials, shared passwords, weak patterns, policy gaps, and high-value account exposure.
If we find nothing, there is no charge. If we find something and you decide it is worth knowing, you can buy the full report with named accounts, remediation steps, and tracked closure in iPAS.
2. Select Testing Scope
Available Scope Areas
Choose the areas that match your real environment. You can start with one surface, combine several, or expand over time as priorities and resources change.
For external reference, Scapien can align testing logic with recognized guidance such as the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and the NIST Cybersecurity Framework.
Web applications and APIs are tested for login flows, access controls, business logic, injection flaws, session handling, and API-specific attack paths.
Cloud testing covers settings, privilege paths, identity gaps, and exposed services across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
Network and data center assessments cover internal networks, external paths, segmentation, lateral movement, and exploitable links between systems.
IoT and embedded systems testing reviews firmware, device behavior, communication protocols, and device-level attack surfaces.
ICS and OT engagements stay tightly scoped and use safety controls to reduce the risk of operational disruption.
Physical security assessments use clear rules of engagement and safeguards for daily operations.
Each scope area uses real exploitation logic, not just scanner output. Therefore, Scapien validates findings before ranking them.
3. Choose Security Engagement Model Depth (L1-L3)
Select the depth that fits your risk profile, timeline, and operational limits. Scapien can apply depth by system, app, environment slice, network segment, or site.
You can also mix levels across your environment. For example, use Level 2 for a production AWS workload and Level 1 for remote offices.
Because Scapien does the heavy lift, your team can stay focused on remediation.
Designed for speed, coverage, and repeatable checks.
At the first level, Scapien creates a defensible baseline, reduces obvious exposure, and checks whether previously fixed security risks remain closed after drift and change.
For lean security teams, this is often the cleanest entry point. It gives you low friction, fast signal, and clear output your team can act on.
At the second level, the work answers the question leadership eventually asks: “How do we actually get breached?”
Instead of isolated findings, Scapien validates plausible attack paths through your environment. Meanwhile, smart automation speeds up repeat work and data review.
Then, senior operators decide what attackers can truly exploit, what chains together, and what your team should fix first based on staffing and constraints.
As a result, this level becomes the practical middle ground between baseline validation and a custom red-team engagement.
The third level fits environments where uncertainty must stay low and the cost of failure is high.
For this depth, Scapien focuses on sensitive assets, business-critical systems, and OT environments where uptime and safety matter most.
Each engagement follows tight scope and strict rules of engagement. Therefore, the work stays focused, controlled, and tied to the systems that matter most.
Many organizations use this depth for “crown jewel” assets while using Level 1 or Level 2 for broader coverage. As a result, they get maximum realism where it matters most without turning the full program into an expensive custom exercise.
4. What Your Security Engagement Model Delivers
Delivery Package
The delivery package includes ranked findings, fix guidance, retest criteria, and clear ownership.
More specifically, Scapien provides validated exploitable findings, step-by-step remediation guidance, defined retest criteria, and tracking for each owner.
Your team knows exactly what to fix and how to prove closure. As a result, you reduce time-to-remediate because teams are not debating severity or researching fixes from scratch.
Executive and Audit Visibility
Leadership receives an executive summary written for decision-makers. It explains business impact in plain language and removes noise.
Inside iPAS, Scapien tracks owners, evidence, remediation status, retest outcomes, and the full audit log from discovery through closure.
Instead of spreadsheet sprawl, scattered inbox threads, and audit-time tool exports, you get one system, one view, and full lifecycle visibility.
5. How We Deliver, and Why It Matters
We Do Not Run Drive-By Penetration Tests
Most firms test, send a report, and leave. After that, your team has to sort findings, assign owners, fix issues, and prove closure.
Built for Follow-Through
By contrast, Scapien combines senior security operators with automation. As a result, testing is faster, more repeatable, and still guided by expert judgment.
For repeat work, automation handles the heavy lift. However, human operators decide what attackers can exploit, what matters most, and what fits your environment.
One Shared Risk Record
Inside iPAS, findings, owners, fix status, exploit proof, and retest results stay in one security risk dashboard.
In addition, your team, partners, and Scapien operators work from the same record. Therefore, nothing gets lost between portals, inboxes, or spreadsheets.
Scope Based on Real Attack Paths
Rather than use a generic test plan, each engagement follows your systems, limits, and real attacker paths.
That means your team gets practical fix guidance, clear closure rules, and retesting that shows what is fixed and what remains open.
Improves With Each Engagement
Over time, the program learns your architecture, key systems, compliance pressure, and risk tolerance.
As a result, each new engagement fits your team and priorities more closely.
Specialists When Needed
When the scope requires it, Scapien brings in ICS/OT and physical security experts under controlled engagement models.
