Retesting & Validation
Verify your fixes work - get an updated report your auditors will accept
What this engagement covers
The service
Retesting is the critical final step that proves your remediation actually worked. Our engineers re-execute the original attack vectors against your updated environment, verify each fix blocks the vulnerability, and produce an updated report with pass/fail status for every finding. Auditors, compliance teams, and boards need proof - not promises.
What we test
We systematically retest every finding from the original assessment. This includes re-running exploit chains for critical and high-severity vulnerabilities, verifying authentication and authorization fixes, confirming infrastructure hardening changes, validating that new security controls are effective, and checking for regression issues introduced during remediation.
How we run it
We use the same tooling, techniques, and attack paths from the original engagement to ensure an apples-to-apples comparison. Each finding is re-attempted and marked as Resolved, Partially Resolved, or Unresolved. The updated report includes evidence screenshots, timeline comparisons, and a compliance attestation letter confirming the current state of your security posture.
Review original findings and remediation evidence
Re-execute exploit chains for each vulnerability
Validate authentication and authorization fixes
Test infrastructure and cloud hardening changes
Check for regression or newly introduced issues
Verify security headers and TLS configuration
Confirm compliance control effectiveness
Generate updated report with pass/fail status
What you receive
Findings land in your tracker as you go, not only in a PDF at the end. Retest is in scope, not a change order.
- Updated pentest report with pass/fail per finding
- Evidence screenshots for each retest attempt
- Compliance attestation letter
- Regression testing results
- Risk delta analysis (before vs. after)
- Executive summary of remediation effectiveness
- Auditor-ready documentation package
- Recommendations for any remaining issues
What we usually find
The issues this engagement surfaces most often. Yours will differ, but this is the shape of it.
Who this is for
Findings are mapped to SOC 2, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF, CMMC, FedRAMP, so the report drops into an audit package rather than needing to be translated first. If you need the readiness work behind one of those, that is a separate engagement.
