Would Your Security Systems Actually Stop an Attack?
Skaylink reviews your defensive infrastructure while Syntricks simultaneously attacks it using current threat actor techniques, giving you the exact roadmap an adversary would follow with instructions on closing every door.
Here’s what you're getting with your IT audit
Skaylink examines your defensive infrastructure: Sophos perimeter, data endpoints, SOC operations, backup systems. Meanwhile, Syntricks simultaneously attacks them using the same tactics real threat actors employ. Each vulnerability arrives with CVSS scores and verification procedures your team can run independently. Additionally, you’ll get instructions on how to fix the vulnerabilities directly from the people who just exploited it.
Skaylink engineers examine your existing security infrastructure across network perimeter, cloud environments, endpoint protection, and operational controls to identify misconfigurations, compliance gaps, and defensive weaknesses before attackers exploit them.
Network perimeter and firewall/VPN configuration analysis

Who is this audit made for?
Organizations where security failures carry regulatory, financial, or operational consequences.
Regulators conduct technical audits requiring functional proof your controls work under attack conditions. This audit identifies missing controls and documentation gaps before enforcement actions or mandatory breach disclosures damage your organization.
ISO27001, DORA, TISAX, and SOC 2 auditors require evidence your controls withstand real attacks. This testing provides documented proof your defenses function under pressure, satisfying auditor requirements with verifiable results from controlled exploitation attempts.
Downtime creates financial losses or safety incidents that destroy customer trust. Controlled simulations reveal where defenses fail before actual threat actors exploit vulnerabilities during live operations. You get advance warning of failure points that could disrupt service continuity.
Cloud migrations and multi-vendor stacks create visibility gaps across platform boundaries. This unified assessment tests your complete technology ecosystem, eliminating blind spots where attackers hide between systems. One engagement covers everything from SaaS applications to on-premise infrastructure.
Get information you can act on
Specific, verified vulnerabilities with remediation steps your team can execute without hiring consultants.
Exploitable vulnerabilities in your external-facing infrastructure before attackers find them during reconnaissance activities.
Privilege escalation routes and lateral movement opportunities letting breaches spread beyond initial compromise.
Your credentials already circulating on dark web markets where attackers purchase access.
Configuration errors undermining security investments across perimeter, endpoints, and infrastructure operations.
Which defensive controls actually work under pressure and which fail when attackers target them.
Compliance gaps preventing NIS2, ISO27001, DORA, or TISAX certification before audit deadlines.
Detection blind spots your security team cannot see until breaches get discovered weeks later.
Exactly how threat actors would navigate your environment from initial access to critical system compromise.
How does all of it work?
Security audits require coordination between your teams and ours. Here's what happens at each stage and who needs to be involved.
We meet to define exactly what gets tested. Your external assets, internal infrastructure, and any leaked credentials floating around the dark web. Together we’ll choose the right testing approach for your environment and confirm which compliance frameworks you’re working towards.
We apply a four-phase methodology to everything in scope. Skaylink examines your defensive infrastructure while Syntricks runs offensive operations to find vulnerabilities before actual attackers do.
You receive a detailed report covering every finding with CVSSv3 risk scores and clear remediation steps your team can execute independently. Syntricks then trains your security staff on the attack techniques we used so they can detect similar threats going forward.
Scope discussion covering external perimeter (domains, subdomains, IP addresses, exposed services), internal network assessment (configurations, privilege escalation paths, lateral movement opportunities), and dark web monitoring for leaked credentials in underground marketplaces.
Your team helps us catalog everything in scope: domains, IP ranges, network gear, cloud platforms, the integrations your staff actually uses. We pick the testing approach: black-box means we start with zero information like real attackers would, grey-box gives us some documentation to focus on what matters most, white-box means full access including source code and system credentials for the deepest possible assessment. We confirm which compliance frameworks you're working toward and walk through how findings get scored using CVSSv3.
Syntricks executes full attack lifecycle: reconnaissance and fingerprinting, initial compromise attempts via social engineering or vulnerable systems, persistence establishment through backdoors, privilege escalation to extract credentials, lateral movement across network segments. Simultaneously, Skaylink audits perimeter defenses, firewall/VPN configurations, endpoint security posture, backup integrity, cloud infrastructure security, and compliance gaps.
If we find something critical while testing is still running, we tell you immediately. When there's active exploitation risk, we coordinate emergency response with your team. If reconnaissance discovers assets that weren't in the original scope, we adjust the engagement to cover them.
Every vulnerability gets documented with four things: what's actually broken, exact steps to reproduce it yourself, a CVSSv3 score showing how severe it is, and specific instructions your team can follow to fix it without hiring anyone. Executives get a summary explaining what the technical problems mean for the business. Compliance teams get evidence packages formatted for auditors.
Syntricks sits down with your security staff and walks them through the actual attack techniques used during testing. You get documentation covering every tactic, technique, and procedure we employed. Your SOC team learns what detection signatures to build. Your developers get guidance on secure coding practices. We show your team how to verify fixes independently and build testing procedures they can run themselves going forward without needing consultants.

Assessment
Not all security assessments are built the same
Traditional approaches force you to choose: find vulnerabilities through offensive testing, validate compliance requirements through audits, or review defensive configurations. The unified assessment eliminates that choice by testing both sides simultaneously
Syntricks tests your security like an attacker would. Skaylink audits whether your defensive infrastructure actually works.
Here’s what you need to start your IT audit
Most organizations think they need perfect documentation, a dedicated security team, and separate test environments before starting a security audit. You don't.
Executive authorization for security testing activities
A technical contact who knows your infrastructure
Admin access to the systems we'll be testing
Complete documentation. We'll map your assets as we go
A security team. We train your existing IT staff during the engagement
Test environments. We work on production systems with proper coordination
Don't wait for an attack to find out if your defenses work...
Schedule a scoping consultation to discuss your infrastructure, compliance requirements, and knowledge transfer objectives.
We coordinate with your operational teams throughout the engagement. If issues arise that need immediate attention, we adjust our approach. The goal is to test your security, not take down your business.
Critical vulnerabilities get disclosed immediately. We work with your team to address active risks. You’re not left alone with security issues that need urgent attention.
Compliance audits verify documentation exists and procedures are written down. This tests whether controls actually stop attacks when threat actors target your infrastructure with current TTPs.
Yes. Audit scope gets defined during engagement planning to match your priorities and constraints.
Syntricks transfers knowledge as testing progresses. Your team learns the attack techniques, detection methods, and defensive responses. The goal is building your internal capability, not just delivering a report.
Both teams work your infrastructure simultaneously. When offensive testing identifies gaps, defensive teams verify monitoring capabilities in real-time. Findings from both sides feed into a unified assessment.
Comprehensive audit report covering defensive posture and offensive test results. Technical findings with remediation steps. Live demonstration sessions where your team observes attack techniques. Detection tuning recommendations for your SOC.
You receive the report and remediation guidance. Syntricks provides support for implementation questions during the follow-up period.
Cyber threats won’t wait. Neither should you.
