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.

Defensive Infrastructure Review

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.

View full scope
Offensive Security Testing

Syntricks simulates real-world attack scenarios against your infrastructure using the same techniques threat actors employ, from initial reconnaissance through complete system compromise, exposing vulnerabilities that automated scanners and defensive reviews cannot detect.

View full scope
Knowledge Transfer

Both teams document every exploitation technique discovered during testing and train your internal staff to replicate these attacks independently, building autonomous security testing capabilities that reduce long-term consultant dependency while strengthening your team’s threat detection skills.

Who is this audit made for?

Organizations where security failures carry regulatory, financial, or operational consequences.

1
NIS2-Regulated Entities

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.

2
Companies Pursuing Certification

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.

3
Critical Infrastructure Operators

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.

4
Distributed IT Environments

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.

Perimeter Vulnerabilities

Exploitable vulnerabilities in your external-facing infrastructure before attackers find them during reconnaissance activities.

Post-Breach Movement Paths

Privilege escalation routes and lateral movement opportunities letting breaches spread beyond initial compromise.

Compromised Credentials

Your credentials already circulating on dark web markets where attackers purchase access.

Defensive Misconfiguration

Configuration errors undermining security investments across perimeter, endpoints, and infrastructure operations.

Control Effectiveness Validation

Which defensive controls actually work under pressure and which fail when attackers target them.

Certification Blockers

Compliance gaps preventing NIS2, ISO27001, DORA, or TISAX certification before audit deadlines.

SOC Visibility Gaps

Detection blind spots your security team cannot see until breaches get discovered weeks later.

Complete Attack Simulation

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.

Stage 1: Preparation

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.

Stage 2: Testing Execution

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.

Stage 3: Knowledge Transfer

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.

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.

You need:

Executive authorization for 
security testing activities

A technical contact who knows your infrastructure

Admin access to the systems we'll be testing

You don’t need:

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.

Will testing disrupt operations?

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.

What if you find something critical during testing?

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.

How is this different from annual compliance audits?

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.

Can we customize what gets tested?

Yes. Audit scope gets defined during engagement planning to match your priorities and constraints.

Do we get training during the audit?

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.

How do Skaylink and Syntricks coordinate?

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.

What deliverables do we receive?

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.

What happens after the audit?

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.
