External Pen Testing
Expose vulnerabilities in internet-facing systems, networks, firewalls, devices, and web apps that could lead to unauthorized access.

Offensive Security
Comprehensive Penetration Testing Services
Real-world attack simulations on internal, external, wireless, web app, cloud, and physical environments.
Maverc's offensive operators emulate real-world adversaries against your applications, networks, cloud, identity, and people — chaining vulnerabilities the way attackers actually do. Every engagement is led by senior testers (OSCP, OSEP, OSWE, GXPN, GPEN, CRTO) and delivered with executive-grade clarity.
What Is Penetration Testing?
Emulated, real-world attacks against your people, process, and tech.
Penetration testing uses emulated real-world attacks to discover and exploit weaknesses in your systems, configurations, and processes. Our senior operators gather intelligence on your internal and external networks, web applications, cloud, and wireless environment — then take the results to your team and use them as a guide to fix weaknesses and strengthen security before a real attacker arrives.

Types of Pen Tests We Offer
The right test for the right risk.
Finding security risks is important, but knowing what needs to be tested can be a challenge. Our team recommends the best engagement model for your environment and puts your security through the paces.
Internal Pen Testing
Validate the effort required for an attacker to overcome and exploit your internal infrastructure once initial access is gained.
Web Application Pen Testing
App-layer testing through your websites and web applications using PTES and the OWASP ASVS L2/L3 testing checklist.
API & Mobile Testing
Manual testing of REST, GraphQL, gRPC APIs and iOS / Android apps against the OWASP API and MASVS standards.
Cloud Pen Testing
AWS, Azure, and GCP attack-path testing — IAM abuse, lateral movement, and Kubernetes / container breakout scenarios.
Physical Bypass
A Maverc operator walks your facility with your team to evaluate doors, locks, walls, and surveillance — and tries to defeat them.
Red Teaming
Multi-vector adversary emulation: external + internal + social engineering + defense evasion against your full estate.
Wireless Pen Testing
Capture authentication material, validate segmentation, and assess radio coverage across your wireless environment.
How We Do Penetration Testing
The PTES methodology, executed by senior operators.
Maverc operators follow the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) — supplemented by OWASP, NIST 800-115, and MITRE ATT&CK — to ensure we gather the full picture and deliver findings you can act on.
- 01
Intelligence Gathering
OSINT and reconnaissance to surface sensitive information adversaries would use to enhance their attacks.
- 02
Threat Modeling
Identify and categorize primary and secondary assets, threat communities, and map the realistic attack surface.
- 03
Vulnerability Analysis
Discover flaws in systems and applications — host and service misconfigurations, insecure design, and chainable weaknesses.
- 04
Exploitation
Obtain access through vulnerabilities, configuration errors, or social engineering — manually, the way real attackers do.
- 05
Post-Exploitation
Determine the value of the exploited asset based on data sensitivity and its usefulness for further compromise.
- 06
Reporting
Communicate the objectives, methods, and results — with executive narrative, technical PoCs, and remediation guidance.
Pen Test vs Vulnerability Scan vs Red Team
What's the difference?
Not all testing is the same. Level of analysis, attack scale, and your security program's maturity all influence the right choice. Here's how the three compare.
Vulnerability Scan
- Fully automated
- Discover vulnerabilities
- Check if controls exist
- Preventative control focus
- Noisy & obvious
- For low-to-moderate program maturity
Penetration Test
Maverc Specialty- Human interaction & analysis
- Discover & exploit vulnerabilities
- Analyze usage & effectiveness of controls
- Preventative control focus
- Noisy & obvious
- For moderate-to-mature security programs
Red Teaming
- Human interaction & analysis
- Exploit vulnerabilities & gain access
- Analyze usage & effectiveness of controls
- Detective & reactive control focus
- Stealthy & evasive
- For mature security programs
The Maverc Way
Why trust Maverc?
Expertise
Maverc's offensive team is senior-only — every engagement is led by an operator with OSCP at minimum, plus credentials like OSEP, OSWE, GXPN, GPEN, CRTO, and active US clearances. CVE credit, federal red-team backgrounds, and real exploit development — not button-pushers.
Mission
Our mission is to flip security from reactive to proactive. We solve weaknesses before adversaries find them, walk your engineers through every fix, and give your blue team an ATT&CK heatmap so detection improves with every engagement.
Style
No cookie-cutter scope. Once we understand your business objectives we move stealthily through reconnaissance, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, and exploitation — emulating real-world tactics — then deliver post-exploitation analysis tailored to your executive leadership.
Focus
Cybersecurity is all we do. We don't sell hardware, ship telco, or push licenses. That focus means our recommendations are unbiased and the team you'll work with lives in the offensive trenches every day.
Operator Credentials
Backed by the industry's most respected certifications
Every Maverc engagement is led by senior operators who hold — and actively maintain — the credentials that define offensive security excellence.
"Our clients require us to do penetration testing to ensure our systems are secure. We reached out to Maverc to provide this service. Maverc offers a valuable service with a professional approach — facilitating a smooth process, completing testing within the window, and delivering a report that's thorough but comprehensible."

FAQ
Common questions
How is your pentest different from a vulnerability scan?
A scanner finds known CVEs in isolation. We chain misconfigurations, weak trust relationships, and logic flaws into real attack paths — and demonstrate business impact, not just CVSS scores.
Will testing disrupt production?
We test production safely by default — coordinating destructive testing, rate-limiting brute force, and pausing on customer impact. Where production isn't appropriate (e.g. ICS), we test staging that mirrors prod.
What credentials do your testers hold?
Lead operators hold OSCP at a minimum, with most carrying OSEP, OSWE, GXPN, GPEN, CRTO, OSCE3, or equivalent. Many have active US security clearances and CVE credit.
Do you provide a letter of attestation for our auditors and customers?
Yes — every engagement includes an attestation letter suitable for SOC 2, PCI, HITRUST, FedRAMP, vendor security questionnaires, and enterprise customer requests.
What about retesting after we fix findings?
Every engagement includes a free retest within 90 days and an updated attestation letter once findings are validated as remediated.
Can you do continuous testing instead of an annual point-in-time?
Yes. Our PTaaS subscription gives you continuous attack-surface monitoring, on-demand testing, and a live findings portal with Jira / ServiceNow integration.
