An offensive security consultancy built on evidence
CipherTest helps organizations find and fix the vulnerabilities that matter — through manual-first testing, adversarial realism, and partnership through remediation. We treat your security posture as our most sensitive secret.
Mission
To strengthen the defense of every organization we work with by finding vulnerabilities before adversaries do — and guiding our clients through remediation with the clarity and evidence their teams need to act decisively.
Vision
A digital economy where offensive security is continuous, evidence-based, and accessible to every organization — so that trust in technology is earned and defended, not assumed.
The principles behind every engagement
Our values are not slogans — they are the operating constraints that shape how we scope, test, and report.
Evidence Over Hype
Every finding is reproduced and verified. We never report what we cannot demonstrate, and we eliminate false positives before they reach you.
Adversarial Realism
We test the way real adversaries attack — chaining flaws, abusing logic, and operating under the constraints your defenders actually face.
Partnership Through Remediation
A report is the start, not the end. We work with your engineers through remediation and verify every fix with a free retest.
Radical Clarity
Executives and engineers both get what they need: a clear narrative for leadership and reproducible detail for the people doing the work.
How we operate, even when no one is watching
Offensive security demands trust. Our ethics govern authorization, safety, disclosure, and confidentiality on every engagement.
Authorization First
We never test beyond signed scope. Every engagement begins with explicit written authorization and clearly defined rules of engagement.
Do No Harm
We avoid actions that could cause service disruption or data corruption, and we coordinate any intrusive testing with your teams.
Coordinated Disclosure
When our research discovers vulnerabilities in third-party products, we follow coordinated disclosure and give vendors time to remediate.
Confidentiality
Engagement data is isolated, encrypted, and destroyed on a defined schedule. We treat your security posture as our most sensitive secret.
Responsible Disclosure Policy
Found a vulnerability in our own systems? Report it to security@ciphertest.com and we will respond within 72 hours.
