Our expertise
Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing
Black box and trusted-access security testing with remediation help and real-world risk review for each finding.
A clear scope
The work behind the outcome.
NextGridIT provides scoped security audits and penetration testing for organizations that need more than a vulnerability dump. Engagements can include black box testing, trusted-access pentests, targeted exposure review, and follow-up remediation support. Each finding is written with practical business context so the client understands what is actually risky, what is mostly noise, and what to fix first. As an active bug bounty researcher on Microsoft and HackerOne platforms, the testing methodology reflects real-world attack techniques — not just scanner output.
- Scoping notes, rules of engagement, and assessment summary
- Findings report with real-world risk review and remediation guidance
- Optional validation help after fixes are applied so the work actually closes out cleanly
Our approach
A practical sequence of work.
- 01
Scoping and rules of engagement
We define the test scope — black box, trusted-access, or targeted — and establish rules of engagement, timing windows, and communication protocols.
Typical stage: 2-3 days - 02
Testing and exploitation
We execute the assessment using real-world attack techniques informed by active bug bounty research. Every finding is validated and documented with evidence, not scanner screenshots.
Typical stage: 1-2 weeks - 03
Analysis and reporting
Findings are analyzed for real business impact and written with practical remediation guidance. You understand what's actually risky, what's noise, and what to fix first.
Typical stage: 3-5 days - 04
Remediation support
Optional follow-up helps your team implement fixes and validates that the work actually closes out cleanly. We don't just hand over a report and disappear.
Typical stage: 1-2 weeks
Good questions
Before we get started.
What is the difference between a black box and a trusted-access pentest?
A black box engagement starts from the outside with minimal prior knowledge, while a trusted-access pentest assumes some level of internal access so privilege paths, lateral movement, and deeper trust issues can be reviewed.
Do you only hand over a report?
No. The goal is to help the client understand what matters, correct the issues, and validate the fixes rather than disappearing behind a findings spreadsheet.
