HAVEN6 has become our go-to partner for serious cloud security and penetration testing.
They’ve helped our clients harden AWS and Azure configurations, identify risky misconfigurations, and validate issues through focused penetration testing on networks, web apps, and APIs.

We engaged HAVEN6 to perform a web application penetration test to uncover real-world security risks beyond routine scanning. HAVEN6 delivered an exceptionally thorough, high-quality assessment backed by clear, defensible evidence and practical, prioritized remediation guidance. We meaningfully reduced our attack surface.

We have enjoyed working with HAVEN6. They were able to help us on some long-term agreements for pen testing.
Their personnel and management are easy to work with.
We look forward to our next project with them!

The Drivers of API Pen Testing Requirements
APIs are the plumbing of the modern internet by connecting your mobile apps, web platforms, and third-party partners. You need to test them if:
You Have an Application
Web apps and Mobile apps are just pretty interfaces for APIs. The API is where the risk lives.
B2B Integrations
You expose APIs to partners or customers to allow them to fetch data programmatically.
Compliance (GDPR / PSD2)
Open Banking (PSD2) mandates testing of financial APIs. GDPR requires you cannot leak PII.
Rapid Development
Your devs use tools like Swagger or OpenAPI to auto-generate code, possibly introducing logic flaws.
Our Penetration Testing Services
Deep dive into our service offerings and explore the types of penetration testing we deliver for our clients.
| Test Type | Description |
| Compliance Testing | Validates security controls to satisfy regulatory mandates and audit requirements for SOC2, PCI, HIPAA, HITRUST, NIST, and ISO27001. |
| Cloud Pen Testing | Secures AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes environments by identifying vulnerabilities and misconfigurations. |
| Web Application Testing | OWASP Top 10 + custom attack logic — injection, auth flaws, business logic abuse |
| Mobile Application Testing | Assessing iOS and Android apps to identify vulnerabilities within the binary, device, or backend APIs. |
| API Security Testing | Deep dive into REST, SOAP, GraphQL APIs for broken auth, data leakage, and more |
| External Network Pen Testing | Simulates attacks from the outside — firewalls, web servers, cloud environments |
| Internal Network Pen Testing | Simulates an insider threat or breach scenario — lateral movement, privilege escalation |
| Wireless Network Testing | Test WPA2/WPA3 security, rogue APs, and unauthorized device access |
| IoT Device Testing | Evaluatetes devices by identifying vulnerabilities within the hardware/firmware/radio protocol layers. |
| SCADA Systems Testing | Secures critical infrastructure by assessing the ICS/OT vulnerabilities through advanced Industrial fuzzing and RF analysis. |
| AI / Machine Learning Testing | Exploits machine learning models through injection, model tampering, and manipulation. |
Our Sample Penetration Test Report Methods
We adhere to the PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) to ensure a thorough and safe engagement.
Our Sample Penetration Test Report Deliverables
Deliverables will vary by type of Pen Test, we provide reports that speak to three main audiences: Executives, Engineers, and Auditors.
Executive Summary
A one-page, jargon-free scorecard that translates every critical vulnerability into plain business language: real-world impact, dollar exposure, likelihood of exploit, and who could weaponize it tomorrow. Designed to be handed directly to the Board, C-suite, investors, or enterprise customers.
Technical Findings Report
A file engineers actually want to read: every vulnerability laid out in pin-point reproducible detail. Includes narrative walkthrough, request/response packets, screenshots, PoC exploit code, exact CVSS v3.1/v4 breakdown, risk rating, likelihood of active exploitation, copy-paste remediation, and more.
Clean Retest Report
Once your team has applied the necessary fixes, we conduct rigorous re-testing to verify that the vulnerabilities are truly closed. Upon successful validation, we issue a clean report and a formal Attestation Letter. Proof of Security for auditors, insurance providers, and enterprise partners.

Sample Pen Test Report: FAQs
Learn more information about the most frequently asked questions
Is this sample report generated from an automated tool?
No. While we use tools to aid our process, the sample report and the reports we deliver to clients are written by Certified Ethical Hackers. Automated reports often lack context; our reports explain the story of the attack.
What format will the final deliverables be in?
We typically deliver the final report in a secure, encrypted PDF format. However, we can also provide CSV exports for your ticketing systems (like Jira) or upload findings directly to your vulnerability management platform upon request.
Does the report include a Letter of Attestation for auditors?
Yes. Upon completion of the test and verification of remediation, we provide a separate Letter of Attestation. This is a clean, summary document you can share with clients or auditors to prove you performed the test without revealing specific vulnerabilities.
How do you calculate the risk ratings in the report?
We utilize the CVSS v3.1 (Common Vulnerability Scoring System) to ensure industry standardization. However, we also apply “Environmental Modifiers” based on your specific business context (e.g., is this server internet-facing? Does it hold PII?) to adjust the severity accurately.
Can I share this report with my customers?
The full technical report contains sensitive data about your vulnerabilities and should be classified as Confidential. We recommend sharing the Executive Summary or the Letter of Attestation with customers, rather than the full technical breakdown.
How long does it take to receive the report after testing?
We typically deliver the draft report within 3 to 5 business days after the active testing phase concludes. We then hold a debrief call to walk you through the findings before finalizing the document.
Does the report include instructions on how to fix the issues?
Absolutely. The Remediation section is the most important part of the document. We provide specific guidance, links to patches, and code-level recommendations to help your developers close the gaps efficiently.
What happens if we fix the issues? Do we get a new report?
Yes. Our services typically include a Re-Testing Phase. Once you apply fixes, we verify them. We then issue a clean, updated report showing that the vulnerabilities have been Remediated.
Is the sample report based on a real company?
The sample report is based on real-world findings we frequently encounter, but all IP addresses, company names, and sensitive data have been completely anonymized or fictionalized to protect our clients’ confidentiality.
Do you offer different reports for compliance standards?
Yes. If you have specific compliance requirements (like PCI-DSS or HIPAA), we tailor the report mapping to reference specific controls required by those standards, making your audit process much smoother.
