Security audit
Detects non-compliance with the law and eliminates the risk of fines and security breaches.
Unauthorized access to company resources is a serious and growing concern as attack surfaces grow.
As real-world adversaries evolve every day to exploit vulnerabilities, organizations must adapt testing approaches to understand how their networks would perform against skilled adversaries.
A penetration test identifies and demonstrates vulnerabilities.
It gives you new understanding and strategies for strengthening your security posture against cyber threats.
Penetration testing helps identify security gaps.
Answer important questions. Could an attacker break into my network? Where? How far could it go?
The cyber security testing services provided by Sectio Aurea assess the effectiveness of the organization's security measures and identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by attackers.
Testing is also essential for compliance with regulatory requirements and standards such as PCI DSS, ISO 27002, NIS, and BNR and ASF regulations.
By demonstrating that they have taken steps to secure their systems and data, organizations can strengthen relationships of trust with customers, partners and other stakeholders.
By choosing Sectio Aurea, your organization benefits from a comprehensive assessment and customized solutions to ensure cyber security.

Penetration tests
Automated and Manual Testing: A complete penetration test comprises both automated and manual testing. Manual tests identify programming errors and analyze, confirm or refute automated test results.
Main testing approaches:
Black box: The test team does not know any information about the systems under test, except the application access information (web pages, IP addresses). This method is used for external testing of the beneficiary.
Gray box: The test team does not have detailed information about the systems under test, but has a user account on a workstation with certain roles. This hybrid approach is the most common because the tester can simulate a methodical attack without knowing every detail of the target systems.
White box: The test team has access to all information about the systems, including source code and administrative privileges. This method allows for thorough testing, quickly and efficiently identifying security issues.
Software code verification
Sectio Aurea uses a four-step approach to perform code checks:
Identifying Code Verification Objectives In this step, we investigate the application's architecture and the technology used to identify key security specifications and potential threats. Based on this information, we develop a document that describes the objectives of the code review, including the set of technologies and specific vulnerabilities to be reviewed by our experts.
Performing a preliminary scan In the second step, we use, if possible, a static analysis scanner to uncover an initial set of code-level issues that might require a detailed manual check. Scanning involves a combination of static analysis and manual verification methods to identify vulnerabilities within the code, focusing on areas with a high probability of security breaches.
Performing a detailed inspection Next, we move on to manually checking the code to identify defects that are difficult to discover using only static analysis tools. This step is critical for uncovering complex security issues.
Reporting the results The final step involves analyzing the problems caused by the application architecture. We document all identified issues and provide recommendations to fix them. The final report contains a detailed analysis and practical solutions for improving code security.
Through this structured approach, we ensure comprehensive verification of software code, identifying and fixing critical vulnerabilities.
Social engineering services
Social engineering addresses the human element of security, whereby assessors attempt to access sensitive information by manipulating human psychology. The Safetech Innovations team will assess how vulnerable the Recipient's employees are to a potential social engineering attack and the likelihood that they will violate company rules and/or procedures.
Our phishing social engineering services are designed to mimic attacks that malicious individuals might perform to obtain confidential information from your organization. Phishing involves sending communications, most commonly via e-mail, from an apparently legitimate source - for example, impersonating an executive, colleague or service provider.
Stages of social engineering services:
Simulating phishing attacks: Sending phishing messages that appear to come from trusted sources to gauge employee reactions.
Assessing responses: Analyzing how employees react to simulated attacks, identifying vulnerabilities and security awareness.
Reporting results:
The proposed services conclude with the delivery of a full report of the findings and recommendations to mitigate the identified risks. The report includes:
Number of messages sent
Recipients of messages
Number of open messages
Number of completed forms
The report includes comparative statistics of the results achieved against other campaigns run by Safetech Innovations, providing a real reference from the market.
By using these services, your organization can improve security awareness among employees and implement effective measures to reduce the risks associated with social engineering attacks.
Our offer
The cyber security testing services delivered by Sectio Aurea include the following steps:
Defining the purpose of the services and developing the action plan
At this stage, we will agree on a confidentiality agreement and establish the scope and scope of the work, including test types and attack scenarios. We centralize requirements, set goals and agree on forms, terms, preconditions, limitations and exclusions.
Execution of the action plan
This phase aims to discover defects in networks, systems and/or applications using active and passive methods. We check for incorrect configurations of systems and services, installed versions of applications and patches, as well as insecure application design. Automated testing identifies vulnerabilities and malware in the infrastructure, indicating how and how easily they can be exploited.
Reporting results
Cybersecurity assessments performed at runtime will be documented in a detailed report that includes tests performed, vulnerabilities discovered, and associated security risks, along with recommendations for remediation.
Information to facilitate remediation and retesting
At this stage, we provide support for understanding the identified issues and recommendations for reducing the risks associated with the discovered vulnerabilities. Every cyber security engagement carried out by our team ends with a retest to ensure that issues have been successfully resolved.
