Test your perimeter before attackers find a way through
NeedSec simulates an external attacker with no prior access to assess your internet-facing systems. We map your full attack surface, identify exploitable weaknesses, and show the real-world impact before a breach occurs.
Manual-led testing
Every assessment is led by a qualified security engineer — human judgment, not just automated scanning.
Evidence-backed findings
Each vulnerability includes proof of concept, reproduction steps, and a business-impact risk rating.
Actionable fix guidance
Reports are structured for developers and decision makers so remediation can start immediately.
What We Test
Focused testing against realistic attack paths
NeedSec combines manual testing, structured methodology, and business-focused reporting to identify issues that matter — not just scanner noise.
External attack surface mapping — IP ranges, domains, and subdomain enumeration
Port scanning and service fingerprinting across all exposed assets
Firewall and perimeter control bypass testing
VPN security — authentication strength and configuration weaknesses
SSL/TLS version, cipher suite, and certificate chain review
DNS security — zone transfer attempts, subdomain takeover, and DNSSEC review
Email security — SPF, DKIM, DMARC configuration and spoofing risk
Remote access services — RDP, SSH, and web admin portal exposure
Default credentials on network devices and management interfaces
Web-exposed services — login portals, staging environments, and forgotten assets
Public vulnerability identification and manual exploitation validation
Attack path mapping from external access to internal pivot points
