How We Work
A practical engagement process built around evidence and useful outcomes.
ROO Secure engagement process
Discover
Understand your applications, infrastructure, objectives, constraints, and risk.
Assess
Identify vulnerabilities, configuration weaknesses, and architectural exposure.
Prioritize
Focus on exploitable issues and business impact instead of producing noise.
Remediate
Provide practical technical recommendations your team can implement.
Validate
Retest fixes, confirm meaningful improvement, and document remaining risk.
Continue
Where needed, embed monitoring, automation, and repeatable security workflows.
Methods and standards alignment
Assessment Methods
Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES), NIST SP 800-115, OSSTMM, OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, OWASP API Security Top 10, OWASP ASVS, and CREST-aligned engagement practices where applicable.
Threat-Informed Testing
MITRE ATT&CK, MITRE D3FEND, Cyber Kill Chain, threat modelling, attack-surface mapping, purple-team validation, and risk-based prioritization.
Security Frameworks
NIST Cybersecurity Framework 2.0, CIS Controls v8, CIS Benchmarks, ISO/IEC 27001 and 27002 principles, SOC 2 control mapping, and COBIT governance concepts.
Regulatory Context
NIS2 risk-management measures and incident reporting, DORA ICT risk practices, the EU Cyber Resilience Act, GDPR security considerations, PCI DSS, HIPAA Security Rule, and relevant local requirements.
Cloud & Software Assurance
Cloud Security Alliance guidance, CSA Cloud Controls Matrix, Kubernetes security practices, secure SDLC, software supply-chain assurance, SBOM review, and zero-trust principles.
Continuous Improvement
Remediation validation, vulnerability management, control testing, detection engineering, tabletop exercises, incident-response readiness, and measurable risk reduction.
Frameworks and regulations are selected according to scope, jurisdiction, customer requirements, and the systems being assessed. Alignment does not imply certification unless explicitly stated in an engagement.
