For black-box penetration testing, KaizenGuard starts with methodologies based on the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) which can be summarized into the following steps:
Intelligence Gathering: In the first step of a penetration test, we will look for as much information about the targets as possible. This includes identification of used devices, services and applications as well as the discovery of valid possible user accounts and other actions.
Vulnerability Analysis: Once all systems and applications are properly identified, we perform analysis of found misconfigurations, design flaws, etc.
Exploitation: In this phase, we attempt to exploit any weaknesses or vulnerabilities identified in discovered assets that are part of the penetration test scope. We will look to manually exploit any weaknesses or vulnerabilities identified in the servers or web application with the objective of breaching it from a black box perspective (i.e. no credentials or knowledge of the systems).
Post-exploitation: After gaining access to a compromised device/application, we attempt to establish full control of it, determine the usefulness of this device/application for next attacks and optionally make lateral movement further into a network.
Reporting: We provide a detailed report with description of all discovered attack vectors along with their severity (based on complexity, probability, user interaction, etc.) and possible remediation steps.

What are the deliverables?
All testing by KaizenGuard is performed by a human using a blend of automated and manual procedures. We do not simply “scan and patch”.
Reporting and Deliverables:
Pentesting Reports
Following any testing, a full detailed report shall be made available. The report will outline items such as the testing methods used, the findings, any proof-of-concept code for successful exploits, as well as remediation steps and suggestions. The report can be customized as need for technical and non technical report consumers.
Proof of Exploit
In the event of a successful exploit, breach or compromise, we shall document the testing methodology used, record all gathered evidence, and develop proof-of-concept exploits for repeatable testing.
Remediation Plan
At the request of a client, we will provide a remediation plan and help the in-house IT teams to close the identified loopholes at a cost.
Post Remediation Testing
At the behest of the client and at no extra cost, we will perform another test after patching has been done to ensure that all the loopholes are closed.
Why perform a Black-Box Pentest?
Real-World Simulation: Simulates real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by external threat actors.
Unbiased Assessment: Provides an unbiased assessment of the system’s security posture, as the tester has no prior knowledge.
Cost-Effective: Often more cost-effective than other types of penetration testing, as it focuses on external vulnerabilities.
Compliance: Helps meet industry standards and regulatory requirements for security testing.
Improved Security: Identifies and helps mitigate vulnerabilities, improving the overall security posture of the organization.
