Grey Shield helps technology teams discover, validate, and remediate exploitable weaknesses across applications, APIs, cloud environments, networks, and mobile platforms.
Our approach
Every engagement connects findings to affected assets, business impact, remediation ownership, and verification.
Targets, access, and exclusions are agreed before testing begins — no ambiguity about what's covered.
Every issue is manually confirmed to be genuinely exploitable, not left as an unverified scanner alert.
Guidance is written for the engineer who has to fix it, with a clear owner and business context.
Once fixes are deployed, we confirm closure before final sign-off — at no extra cost.
What we cover
Six capabilities, one team, and one report format — not a patchwork of vendors.
Web applications and APIs, tested against realistic attacker behaviour — authentication bypass, broken authorisation, business logic flaws, and injection classes, validated by hand rather than left as raw scanner output.
Internal and external network testing, including lateral movement and Active Directory attack paths.
AWS, Azure, and GCP environments — IAM privilege escalation, misconfiguration, and container escape paths.
Objective-driven red team operations across people, process, and technology.
iOS and Android application reviews, from insecure storage to reverse engineering.
Structured gap assessments against ISO 27001, SOC 2, and India's DPDP Act.
Evidence, not alerts
Every report entry connects the technical detail to the business decision it should inform.

What you receive
Every deliverable is written to be handed to an engineer, a manager, or an auditor without translation.
Why Grey Shield
We'd rather show you our methodology than a wall of unverifiable numbers. Every engagement is aligned to recognised testing standards and includes a remediation retest before sign-off.
Common questions
Penetration testing (pen testing) is an authorised, simulated cyberattack against a system, network, or application, carried out to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before real attackers can find and use them.
Most engagements run 1–3 weeks depending on scope. Web application and network tests typically take 5–10 business days; larger red team operations run several weeks.
VAPT systematically identifies and validates vulnerabilities within an agreed scope. Red teaming is a broader, objective-driven adversary simulation that tests people, process, and technology together — often without the defending team's advance knowledge.
Yes. Every Grey Shield engagement includes a remediation retest after fixes are deployed, to confirm reported vulnerabilities have been resolved before final sign-off.
Yes. We run structured gap assessments against ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and India's DPDP Act, delivering a prioritised remediation roadmap alongside standard penetration test reporting.
