Advanced Pentesting for Companies and SMEs
Our Advanced Pentesting service is designed for both large organizations with critical systems and SMEs that develop complex applications or use embedded systems. Unlike traditional pentests, advanced pentesting uses specialized techniques that require deep knowledge.
What We Mean by Advanced Pentesting
At WHOAMI, “advanced” is not just an adjective: it describes a threat-led way of assessing complex systems against real-world adversaries. An advanced pentest typically combines:
- Complex business logic analysis and non-obvious flows (issues scanners won’t catch)
- Adversarial validation of controls (WAF, hardening, segmentation, authentication, etc.) without turning the report into an operational playbook
- Threat-led scenarios aligned with active threats and business context
- Deep architecture review across integrations (APIs, queues, IAM, third parties)
- Controlled exploitation to measure real impact and prioritize remediation
Advanced Pentesting Objectives
The primary objective of Advanced Pentesting is to identify complex and sophisticated vulnerabilities that require specialized knowledge and advanced techniques to be discovered. This service is aimed at critical systems and high-security environments.
Specific objectives include:
- Identify non-trivial logic, design, and configuration weaknesses that require deep analysis
- Evaluate the security of critical applications and systems that are essential to the business
- Test the effectiveness of advanced security controls against sophisticated techniques
