Sidechain Security delivers penetration testing in-house as scoped engagements. We simulate real attacker behavior to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before adversaries do. Every engagement is performed by our internal team — never outsourced to a third party.
Request a Scoping CallDetailed technical findings with CVSS scoring, proof-of-concept evidence, and screenshots.
Non-technical summary suitable for leadership and board reporting.
Actionable fix list ordered by risk severity and effort.
Validation retest of remediated findings included in every engagement.
Live walkthrough of findings with your technical and leadership teams.
External and internal network testing scoped per IP or IP range. We identify misconfigurations, exposed services, and exploitable vulnerabilities across your network infrastructure.
Per-application testing of your web apps — unauthenticated and authenticated. We test for OWASP Top 10, business logic flaws, session management issues, and more.
Dedicated testing of REST and GraphQL API surfaces, independent of any front-end UI. We validate authentication, authorization, input handling, and data exposure.
Testing with valid user credentials to evaluate role-based access controls, privilege escalation vectors, and session handling across multi-tenant environments.
AI systems introduce a new attack surface. We test your models, chatbots, agents, and tool integrations for vulnerabilities that traditional pen testing doesn't cover.
We test whether your AI can be manipulated into bypassing its guardrails, ignoring system instructions, or producing harmful output through crafted inputs.
We probe for ways an attacker could extract training data, system prompts, PII, or sensitive context from your AI through direct and indirect techniques.
If your AI has access to APIs, databases, or internal tools, we test whether those integrations can be abused to perform unauthorized actions or access restricted data.
We evaluate the security posture of your AI deployment — whether it's a customer-facing chatbot, an internal copilot, an autonomous agent, or a fine-tuned model.
Our pricing is scope-driven, not arbitrary. The cost of an engagement is determined by the number and complexity of targets being tested. You control cost by defining scope, and we provide transparent pricing for each component.
All internet-facing IPs within a defined range. Standard external pen test methodology.
Best for: Compliance-driven annual test, limited budget, infrastructure-focused risk.
External network test + pen test of one primary web application without credentials.
Best for: Organizations with a main customer-facing app and standard infrastructure.
External network test + authenticated web app test of one application, including privilege escalation and role-based access testing.
Best for: Apps with user logins, sensitive data handling, or multi-role access.
External network test + authenticated testing across multiple web applications and/or API surfaces. Scope determined during scoping call.
Best for: Complex environments with multiple distinct applications or API surfaces.
Each component is priced independently. You can combine components to match your environment and compliance needs, or start with a focused engagement and expand over time.
We review your environment, select a configuration, and define the target list together.
Formal scope, timeline, rules of engagement, and pricing delivered for your review.
Active testing conducted within an agreed window, with communication throughout.
Findings report, executive summary, and live debrief delivered within 5 business days of test completion.
Validation retest of remediated findings included in every engagement.
Penetration testing is required or recommended by a number of compliance frameworks and is increasingly expected by cyber insurance carriers. Our testing methodology and reporting are designed to satisfy these requirements.
Requirement 11.4 — external and internal penetration testing
Security Rule risk analysis and technical safeguard validation
Trust Services Criteria — vulnerability management and monitoring
500.05 — penetration testing requirements for covered entities
Many carriers require or incentivize annual penetration testing
Identify and Protect functions — validates controls through simulated attack
Sidechain's pen test uncovered three critical vulnerabilities our previous vendor missed entirely. The remediation plan was clear, prioritized, and our team had everything fixed within two weeks.
We needed a pen test to satisfy our cyber insurance renewal. Sidechain scoped it, executed it, and delivered the report in under three weeks. Our carrier accepted it without question.
What set Sidechain apart was the debrief. They didn't just hand us a PDF — they walked our engineering team through every finding and helped us understand the real-world impact.
Whether you need an annual pen test for compliance, want to validate your security posture before a product launch, or need to satisfy a cyber insurance requirement, we'd like to hear from you. We respond within one business day.
