Security Testing & Vulnerability Assessment / Penetration Testing
Structured vulnerability assessment and penetration testing that produces evidence a programme owner, auditor or procurement authority can rely on — scoped to the system, tested by qualified specialists and closed through validated remediation.
The problem
Why organisations engage this service
- Public-facing citizen services and internal government applications are exposed to continuous automated and targeted attack activity.
- Assessment reports are often produced without reproducible evidence, severity justification or retest confirmation.
- Programme owners need testing that maps to the terms of reference and withstands audit scrutiny.
Scope
What is covered
- Web application and portal testing
- Mobile application testing (Android and iOS)
- API and integration-layer testing
- External and internal network testing
- Server, operating-system and database configuration review
- Thick-client and desktop application testing

Framework references describe the basis of our methodology. They are not a statement of certification, accreditation or regulatory compliance.
Typical use cases
Where it applies
- Pre-go-live security testing for a citizen-facing portal
- Periodic testing cycles required by a departmental security policy
- Assessment of an application before an audit or regulatory submission
- Testing of a new integration or API published to partner departments
Engagement model
How we contract and deliver
Engagements are delivered under a single Bezer engagement and governance layer. Where a specific assignment requires credentials such as CERT-In empanelled audit capability, that capability can be mobilised through appropriately empanelled delivery partners, subject to the requirements of the specific engagement.
Procurement integrity note
Certifications, empanelments, accreditations, professional credentials and past-performance references remain attributable to the entity or professional that holds them. No regulatory or compliance guarantee is offered for any service.
