Security & Compliance FAQ
Penetration testing, WAF tuning, SIEM detection, email security, hardening, incident response, and safe disclosure.
Can you assess our web app and APIs end to end?
Yes. I run penetration testing and vulnerability assessment across both your web application and its APIs, so gaps in one layer do not hide behind the other.
Can you audit our SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records?
Yes. I audit SPF, DKIM, and DMARC and fix the gaps, so attackers can no longer send mail that impersonates your domain.
Can you build defense-in-depth across our stack?
Yes. I layer server hardening and defense-in-depth on proven industry practices, so one weak point never hands an attacker the whole environment.
Can you deliver a clear findings report with fixes?
Yes. I deliver a report ranking each finding by severity with reproduction steps and concrete remediation, plus a debrief so your team owns the risk and the fix.
Can you deploy endpoint protection across our fleet?
Yes. I roll out Trend Micro endpoint security fleet-wide and tie it to Active Directory, so every workstation ships protected and stays centrally managed.
Can you harden our servers to pass an audit?
Yes. I prepare systems for audits through server hardening and defense-in-depth, and document controls so assessors can verify them.
Can you help detect and remove webshells and backdoors?
Yes. I hunt for webshells and backdoors, remove them, and trace how they were planted so the entry point is closed rather than just the symptom.
Can you investigate a suspected breach?
Yes. I trace intrusions with deep forensic backdoor and webshell root-cause analysis after an alert, establishing how the attacker got in and what they touched.
Can you keep our findings and client data confidential?
Yes. I treat findings and data as confidential, share them only through secure channels with you, and never disclose anything publicly without your authorization.
Can you prioritize the vulnerabilities that matter most?
Yes. I rank findings by real exploitability and business impact, not a raw CVSS number, so your effort goes to the flaws an attacker would actually use first.
Can you protect us from injection attacks?
Yes. I shut down injection with input validation, parameterized queries, output encoding, and tuned WAF rules, fixing it at the code level instead of leaning on the firewall.
Can you retest after we fix the findings?
Yes. I retest to confirm each fix actually closes the vulnerability, so a patch that looks right but misses the root cause does not slip through.
Can you review our application authentication and access control?
Yes. I review authentication, session handling, and authorization for flaws like broken access control and privilege escalation, which are common and high-impact.
Can you run a black-box or red-team engagement for us?
Yes. I conduct black-box pentesting and red-team engagements under contract, including work delivered for state-owned enterprise clients.
Can you scope a penetration test safely with us?
Yes. I agree targets, rules of engagement, and timing in writing first, so testing stays authorized and safe, then report findings ranked by real exploitability.
Can you set up continuous threat detection for us?
Yes. I stand up threat detection and reporting on ManageEngine SIEM and the ELK Stack, so suspicious activity surfaces as an alert instead of waiting for the next test.
Can you tune our web application firewall?
Yes. I block real-world attacks by tuning Imperva and ModSecurity WAF rules, balancing protection against false positives so legitimate traffic still gets through.
Can you write custom WAF filter rules for us?
Yes. I write custom Imperva and ModSecurity filter policies for your app, catching attack patterns the default rule sets miss.
Do you assess API security specifically?
Yes. APIs get the same rigor as web apps, checking auth, rate limits, injection, and data exposure, since APIs are now a primary attack surface.
Do you cover the OWASP Top 10 in testing?
Yes. Web and API testing covers the OWASP Top 10 as a baseline, including injection, broken access control, and misconfiguration, then goes beyond it based on your risk.
Do you document remedies after an incident?
Yes. Every incident closes with documented remedies your stakeholders can follow, so the same weakness does not reopen the door later.
Do you help with secure code review?
Yes. I review source for injection, auth flaws, unsafe deserialization, and secret leakage, catching issues in the code before they become a live vulnerability.
Do you offer standalone vulnerability assessments?
Yes. I run vulnerability assessment on your web apps and APIs as a focused service, mapping and rating weaknesses even when a full pentest is not yet in scope.
Do you perform penetration testing?
Yes. I run thorough penetration testing and vulnerability assessment on web applications and APIs, finding holes before an attacker does.
Do you provide incident response?
Yes. I run structured incident response with documented remedies that stakeholders can follow, so recovery is orderly rather than chaotic.
Do you run forensic root-cause analysis on intrusions?
Yes. I perform forensic backdoor and webshell root-cause analysis, so you learn exactly how the attacker got in rather than just cleaning the symptoms.
Do you run SIEM threat detection and reporting?
Yes. I catch breaches early with threat detection and reporting on ManageEngine SIEM and the ELK Stack, so suspicious activity surfaces as an actionable alert.
Do you support responsible disclosure programs?
Yes. I disclose findings responsibly through the HackerOne and BSSN vulnerability disclosure programs rather than sitting on or leaking them.
How do we start a security engagement?
Email me at me@neabyte.com describing what you want assessed and any compliance drivers. I will propose a scope and rules of engagement before any testing begins.
