MITRE ATT&CK Aligned · NIST SP 800-115 · Audit-Ready

Find the Gaps Before Attackers Do

Cyber threats are growing in sophistication. Our VAPT services give your organisation a clear, evidence-based view of your security posture — identifying and validating exploitable weaknesses across every layer of your environment before adversaries can leverage them.

03 — Methodology

Structured. Repeatable. Framework-Aligned.

Our engagement lifecycle follows NIST SP 800-115 across six phases — with every technique mapped to a corresponding MITRE ATT&CK tactic and technique ID. Findings are CVSS-scored and mapped to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls.

Phase 01
NIST SP 800-115 §3 · TA0043
Planning & Scoping

Define objectives, rules of engagement, and a threat model built on ATT&CK adversary profiles relevant to your industry. Passive reconnaissance mapped to sub-techniques T1590–T1598.

Phase 02
ATT&CK TA0007
Reconnaissance & Discovery

Passive and active enumeration — Network Service Discovery (T1046), Account Discovery (T1087), and Cloud Infrastructure Discovery (T1580).

Phase 03
NIST SP 800-115 §4
Vulnerability Assessment

Systematic identification of weaknesses across all in-scope systems, applications, and infrastructure — prioritised by exploitability and business impact using CVSS scoring.

Phase 04
ATT&CK TA0001 · TA0004 · TA0008
Exploitation & Post-Exploitation

Manual exploitation of validated vulnerabilities, simulating real-world attack chains including privilege escalation, lateral movement (T1550.002, T1558.003), and data access.

Phase 05
NIST CSF 2.0 — Identify & Protect
Reporting & Control Mapping

CVSS-scored findings mapped to ATT&CK technique IDs and NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls, with an executive summary and detailed technical report for your security team.

Phase 06
NIST CSF 2.0 — Respond & Recover
Debrief & Remediation Validation

Structured debrief upon delivery, followed by retesting to confirm all vulnerabilities are resolved. Results documented for inclusion in audit evidence packages.

04 — Compliance

05 — Why ProDefenders

Framework-Driven. Adversary-Informed. Built for Enterprise.

What sets our assessments apart from commodity scanning and offshore testing services.

🎯
Manual Testing, Not Automated Scanning

Every engagement involves hands-on exploitation and attack chaining that automated tools cannot replicate — surfacing vulnerabilities scanners routinely miss.

🗺️
Full ATT&CK Technique Traceability

Each finding maps to a documented ATT&CK technique ID, giving your team direct insight into detection and coverage gaps in your SIEM and EDR tooling.

📋
NIST-Aligned Reporting

Findings mapped to NIST SP 800-53 Rev. 5 controls, integrating directly into your GRC programme and risk register.
