Penetration test remediation

Penetration test remediation is fixing what an independent test found, and changing the process so that the same findings do not return. Hexploits keeps testing independent and does the engineering: fixing vulnerabilities in code, configuration and infrastructure, and adding the checks to the pipeline that would have caught them.

Who this is for

  • Businesses holding a test report with findings and no one to fix them.
  • Companies whose customer or insurer requires a clean retest.
  • Teams that get the same findings every year.

What you get

Deliverables, not slogans. Each one appears in the statement of work.

  • Findings triaged by real risk, with a fix plan and timeline.
  • Fixes implemented in code, configuration and infrastructure.
  • Pipeline checks (dependency scanning, static analysis, configuration tests) added so classes of finding cannot recur.
  • A remediation report for the customer or insurer.
  • Coordination of the retest with the tester.

Our engineers work across the major languages, frameworks and cloud platforms. We build on the stack you already run, with technology choices explained in writing before work begins.

How it is delivered

The same four stages as every Hexploits engagement, applied to this capability.

  1. Stage 1

    Triage

    Findings are rated for real exploitability in your context, not just severity on paper.

  2. Stage 2

    Fix

    Critical and high first, with changes reviewed and tested.

  3. Stage 3

    Prevent

    The pipeline gains the checks that would have caught each finding.

  4. Stage 4

    Retest

    The independent tester confirms closure.

How success is measured

Every engagement agrees its measures and the measurement period in writing before work starts.

  • Findings closed by severity within the agreed timeline.
  • Clean retest.
  • Repeat findings at the next test.

Questions we get asked

Can you do the test as well?
We prefer not to. Keeping the tester independent is better for you and more credible to your customers. We work with independent testers and can introduce one.
How quickly can critical findings be fixed?
Critical findings are usually addressed within days under a managed support contract; the plan gives a date for each.
Do you fix third-party software?
We update, configure and mitigate around it, and we engage the vendor where a fix has to come from them.
