AUTOMATED PENETRATION TESTING
Automated penetration testing for web applications, APIs, networks, and cloud infrastructure. Built for SMEs — continuous, framework-aligned, and priced for businesses that can't justify a five-figure annual engagement.
CORE CAPABILITIES
Real attacks chain weaknesses across surfaces — a leaked credential opens a cloud console, a misconfigured storage account exposes an API key. The platform tests all five surfaces together, because that's how attackers work.
OWASP Top 10 vulnerability detection. Cross-site scripting, SQL injection, CSRF, authentication bypass, and session management testing.
REST and GraphQL endpoint testing. Authentication flaws, injection vulnerabilities, rate limiting assessment, and data exposure checks.
Port scanning, service enumeration, vulnerability assessment, and SSL/TLS configuration analysis across your external attack surface.
Azure, AWS, and GCP security misconfiguration detection. IAM policy review, storage exposure, and network security group analysis.
Password spraying, default credential detection, brute force assessment, and privilege escalation pathway identification.
HOW IT WORKS
The platform tests systematically and prioritises findings that matter.
Define your attack surface: target applications, APIs, and network ranges, with testing boundaries and intensity levels you control. The platform only tests assets you own and have authorised in writing, and exclusions — fragile systems, production databases, third-party services — are honoured throughout the run.
The engine works through the five attack surfaces systematically — web applications against the OWASP Top 10, APIs for authentication and injection flaws, network perimeter, cloud configuration, and credentials — chaining findings to identify likely attack paths rather than just listing isolated issues.
Findings are sorted by severity with step-by-step remediation guidance in plain language, opening with an executive summary for non-technical stakeholders. Re-run after fixing to verify each issue is actually closed.
The platform is built around established testing frameworks: the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide and OWASP Top 10 for web applications, the OWASP API Security Top 10 for APIs, and CIS-aligned configuration checks for cloud estates. Tests are non-destructive by default, and every check is logged so you can see exactly what was tested and when.
Reporting is designed to support the evidence needs of UK assurance frameworks such as Cyber Essentials and the NCSC Cyber Assessment Framework — findings map to the controls they affect, not just CVE numbers.
WHY NEFIQ
A traditional manual penetration test typically costs £5,000–£15,000 and takes two to four weeks per engagement — most SMEs commission one annually at best. Raw automated scanners are cheap but produce noise that still needs expert interpretation. We're building the middle ground: continuous, framework-aligned testing with findings explained in plain language.
Subscription-based pricing rather than per-engagement fees, so testing becomes a predictable operating cost instead of a once-a-year capital decision.
Run tests on your schedule — after every release, monthly, or continuously — instead of finding out about a vulnerability a year after it was introduced.
Findings prioritised by severity with concrete remediation guidance, so the work queue is obvious — fix the critical issue on the login form first, not 400 informational notes.
