Briefings

Professional hacker briefings for leadership

These professional hacker briefings are written for the people who commission testing, rather than those who run it. So each one covers a single decision in plain terms.

Professional hacker briefings: authorise, test and debrief

What every mandate shares

Every mandate is led personally by a senior professional hacker, so the person you meet is the person on your systems. Also, one fixed fee is agreed after a written scoping brief.

Nothing is retained afterwards, and no client is named without written consent. In addition, a bounded Exposure Assessment exists for organisations that need one clear answer first.

How to read these professional hacker briefings

Start with the briefing closest to your situation. Then share it with whoever will sign the authorisation. That person decides the scope, so their questions matter most. Also, note any deadline set by a customer, a board or an examiner. Each briefing ends with what to include in an enquiry, so one written message is usually enough.
