Credential Strength Testing
Weak, reused, or exposed credentials remain one of the fastest ways attackers gain access. Scapien tests whether password and identity controls hold up under real attack conditions.
Scapien runs a GPU-backed credential strength test using focused guessing, known patterns, exposed credential data, and business context. The goal is not to produce a long password report. The goal is to identify the accounts, policies, and identity paths most likely to create practical access risk.
We test:
- Password and account strength
- Privileged and service account exposure
- Password reuse and predictable patterns
- Policy gaps, exceptions, and drift
- Identity paths that could lead to sensitive access
You receive evidence-backed findings, ranked remediation actions, and defined retest criteria. Results are tracked in iPAS so teams can confirm whether credential controls improve and stay improved over time.
- Credential findings tracked in iPAS with account-level context
- Retest outcomes documented through Verified Closure
External Attack Surface Testing
Your external attack surface is where attackers often start. Scapien identifies and tests the public-facing systems, services, domains, and cloud assets that could expose your environment to real compromise.
Scapien maps your public footprint through attacker-aligned reconnaissance. This includes domains, IP ranges, exposed applications, cloud services, and reachable systems. Then, we test the issues that matter most, rather than handing over a raw inventory list.
We test:
- Exposed internet-facing systems and services
- Misconfigured public assets
- Known vulnerabilities with practical exploit potential
- Cloud and web exposure points
- High-impact paths from public access to sensitive systems
You receive ranked findings with evidence, fix guidance, and retest criteria. Where useful, Scapien provides
Proof-of-Exploit and maps likely blast radius so teams can prioritize what reduces exposure fastest.
Approach aligned with OWASP’s Attack Surface Management Top 10.
- External findings managed in iPAS
- Exploit paths validated through Verified Closure
Network & Data Center Penetration Testing
After an attacker gains a foothold, internal paths determine the real blast radius. Scapien tests how far an attacker could move inside your network and which controls actually limit access.
We assess privilege escalation, lateral movement, segmentation bypass, and the links between users, systems, services, and sensitive assets.
We test:
- Endpoints and servers
- Internal network boundaries
- Routers, switches, and firewalls
- Critical services and identity links
- Common footholds, including IoT-adjacent devices where relevant
Automation speeds up repeat checks. However, senior analysts determine what attackers can actually use, what chains together, and what reduces risk fastest.
You receive ranked exploit-validated risk, not a flat findings list. Scapien also provides Proof-of-Exploit where useful, clear fix steps, and defined retest criteria.
- Exploit chains documented in iPAS
- Closure confirmed with retest evidence
Cloud Penetration Testing
Cloud systems move fast. Poor settings, excessive IAM rights, exposed services, and configuration drift can create access paths that teams miss.
Cloud also creates a second attack surface: the control plane. This is where identities, permissions, and settings define access.
Scapien tests both the data plane, including workloads and network paths, and the control plane, including IAM policies, roles, and access logic.
We test:
- Excessive privileges
- Weak access boundaries
- Exposed storage and services
- Unsafe connectivity
- Configuration drift that reopens closed paths
Scapien combines automation with senior analyst review to show what attackers can actually exploit across identity, settings, and network controls.
You receive ranked, evidence-backed findings with Proof-of-Exploit where useful. In addition, Scapien provides clear fix steps and retest criteria.
- Identity and configuration risks tracked in iPAS
- Verified Closure maintained as environments change
Web Application Penetration Testing
Web applications are key business interfaces. Because attackers often target them first, Scapien combines automated checks with expert-led web application testing.
We test:
- Injection flaws, including SQL, code, and command injection
- Cross-site scripting (XSS)
- Login and access control failures
- Business logic abuse
- Weak session handling
- API-adjacent attack surfaces
Scapien does not stop at detection. Our testers confirm what attackers can actually exploit using Proof-of-Exploit and rank issues as Exploit-Validated Risk.
Remediation guidance is specific and clear. Depending on the issue, it may include behavior changes, settings updates, or code-level changes, with defined retest steps to confirm closure.
- Application-level findings tracked in iPAS
- Exploit paths retested and validated through Verified Closure
API Security Testing
APIs move sensitive data between apps, services, and partners. Attackers often treat them as high-value targets because small access flaws can expose large amounts of data or functionality.
Scapien tests APIs the way attackers do, with a focus on real compromise paths.
We test:
- Weak login and access controls
- Broken object-level access control
- Poor rate limits
- Weak input checks
- Injection flaws
- Token and session abuse
API security testing can work as a point-in-time review. However, the stronger value comes from repeated checks over time.
Scapien builds a tailored library of repeatable API test cases matched to your endpoints and business logic. Teams can retest quickly after releases, integrations, or new endpoint launches without starting from zero.
You receive Proof-of-Exploit ranked by impact, clear fix steps, and defined retest criteria.
- API-specific test cases and findings documented in iPAS
- Closure rechecked after releases and integration changes
IoT / Embedded Systems Testing
IoT and embedded devices are often missed during standard testing. However, attackers can use them as entry points into larger systems.
These assets may include cameras, HVAC controllers, medical devices, smart locks, industrial equipment, and other connected devices that sit outside normal endpoint coverage.
Scapien tests devices, firmware, and communication protocols to find weak points that standard scans often miss.
We test:
- Default or weak credentials
- Exposed management interfaces
- Unsafe services
- Outdated firmware
- Unsafe protocol use
- Paths from device compromise into broader systems
Scapien also assesses how a compromised device could support lateral movement into broader systems.
You receive Proof-of-Exploit where useful, ranked fix guidance, and defined retest criteria.
- Device-level exposures tracked in iPAS
- Lateral movement risks retested through Verified Closure
ICS / OT Testing
ICS and OT systems run physical operations where uptime matters. They often combine legacy systems, special protocols, and modern network links.
Scapien’s SCADA and ICS testing uses precise scope and a safety-first approach. When needed, testing occurs within defined maintenance windows to reduce disruption.
We test:
- Unsafe remote access
- Weak IT/OT separation
- Poor settings
- Legacy system exposure
- Exposed industrial protocols
- Paths from IT systems into OT environments
Where Proof-of-Exploit is safe and useful, Scapien provides it. When teams cannot fix an issue right away, we document compensating controls as accepted risk.
As a result, OT risk stays visible, governed, and ready for follow-up testing.
- OT risk findings governed in iPAS
- Compensating controls and retest status documented through Verified Closure
