Methodology

A Structured Process, Not a Scanner Report.

Automated tooling gives breadth; manual testing gives depth. Nuclisafe combines both in a repeatable eight-stage process designed to produce evidence your engineering team can act on.

All security testing is performed only with explicit client authorization and within agreed Rules of Engagement.
  1. Scope Definition

    We define targets, environments, testing windows, authorization boundaries and Rules of Engagement together with your team before any testing begins.

  2. Reconnaissance

    Mapping the application surface: endpoints, parameters, roles, technologies, third-party integrations and exposed assets in scope.

  3. Threat Modeling

    Identifying realistic attacker goals for your application, its data and its business logic, so testing effort targets what matters most.

  4. Automated + Manual Testing

    Automated scanning for breadth, followed by manual testing for depth — access control, logic and chained issues that tooling alone misses.

  5. Exploitation & Validation

    Confirming impact and removing false positives with controlled proof of concept. Exploitation is performed only within the agreed scope and authorization.

  6. Reporting

    Clear executive summary plus a technical report with reproduction steps, evidence, risk rating and affected components.

  7. Remediation Guidance

    Practical, developer-oriented fix guidance and a walkthrough session so engineering teams know exactly what to change and why.

  8. Retesting

    Verification of applied fixes and a retest report documenting the resolved and remaining findings.
