SXGuard — Swiss Security
Services

Attack First.
Defend Better.

Attackers don't read your policy documents — they probe your applications, networks, and people until something gives. SXGuard's offensive team does the same, on your side, before the real adversary does.

How we work

Structured Methodology

Every engagement follows a structured, industry-standard methodology so results are consistent, defensible, and easy to act on. Web application testing is aligned to the OWASP Top 10 (2021), and all findings are scored using CVSS v4.0.

  1. 1
    ScopingDefine targets, rules of engagement, objectives, and what's out of scope.
  2. 2
    Recon & MappingEnumerate the attack surface: endpoints, hosts, roles, integrations.
  3. 3
    ExploitationSafely exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real impact, not theory.
  4. 4
    Post-ExploitationAssess lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data exposure.
  5. 5
    ReportingPrioritized findings with reproduction steps, evidence, and fixes.
  6. 6
    RetestAfter you fix, we verify the issue is genuinely closed.

Testing Approaches

ApproachAccess LevelBest For
Black-BoxZero knowledge, no credentials or internal accessSimulating an external attacker discovering vulnerabilities from scratch
Grey-BoxPartial knowledge — a standard user account or API documentationModeling an insider threat or post-breach behavior against authenticated functionality
White-BoxFull access to source code, architecture, and designUncovering deeply hidden, code-level, and architectural flaws

Risk Rating — CVSS v4.0

SeverityCVSS ScoreMeaning
Critical9.0 – 10.0Easily exploited with catastrophic impact; must be fixed immediately.
High7.0 – 8.9Serious weakness with major potential impact; fix with high priority.
Medium4.0 – 6.9Meaningful impact under specific conditions; should be remediated.
Low0.1 – 3.9Limited impact; lower priority.
Informative0.0Best-practice recommendations and hardening opportunities.
Security assessment report dashboard

Reporting you can act on

Every engagement concludes with an executive summary of business risk, a severity breakdown of all findings, step-by-step reproduction and evidence for each issue, and concrete remediation guidance. Findings are tracked through statuses — Open, Closed, Partially Remediated, or Risk Accepted — so progress is transparent from first draft to final retest. We pair manual expertise with best-in-class tooling including Burp Suite, Nmap, Metasploit, Nuclei, SQLMap, ffuf, and Dirsearch.
