WHY TEAMS COME TO CYBERCILE

Built for the moment security becomes a business requirement.

The requirement may start with a pentest, questionnaire, audit, launch, or security review. The real work is making sure critical systems are tested, findings are addressed, fixes are verified, and the evidence is ready when someone asks for it.

  1. Your bank wants security evidence

    You need to demonstrate that critical systems have been independently tested and material findings have been addressed.

  2. An enterprise customer is reviewing you

    Security questionnaires or procurement requirements are exposing gaps in testing, remediation, verification, or evidence.

  3. An audit or assessment is approaching

    You need visibility into what is open, what requires attention, and what evidence supports your security work.

  4. You're preparing for a major launch

    Critical applications and APIs need to be challenged before new functionality or exposure increases the attack surface.

  5. Your last pentest produced findings

    You need to move from findings to remediation, independent verification, and defensible closure evidence.

A pentest gives you findings.

Your security requirement rarely ends there.

  1. TEST

    What can actually be exploited?

  2. REMEDIATE

    What needs to change?

  3. VERIFY

    Did the fix actually work?

  4. PROVE

    What evidence supports the result?

CyberCile's 90-Day Financial Systems Security Assurance brings these activities into one focused engagement instead of leaving your team to coordinate testing, remediation, retesting, and evidence separately.

ONE ENGAGEMENT

Four security outcomes.

01 / TEST

Test continuously

Human-led, risk-prioritized testing across eligible web applications and APIs throughout the 90-day engagement.

Unlimited eligible web app & API testing

Testing follows the agreed priority queue so effort stays focused on the systems and attack surfaces that matter most.

02 / REMEDIATE

Fix what matters

Your team receives validated findings, attack-path context, remediation guidance, and regular access to CyberCile while fixes are being implemented.

03 / VERIFY

Verify remediation

CyberCile independently retests remediated findings and challenges fixes where appropriate to determine whether the original security condition still exists.

  • Verified
  • Partially Fixed
  • Not Fixed
  • Unable to Verify
  • Risk Accepted

Risk Accepted records a decision to retain risk. It does not mean a fix was verified.

04 / PROVE

Prove what changed

Build an organized assurance record showing what was tested, what was found, what was remediated, what was verified, and what risk remains.

    DAY 90 EXECUTIVE REVIEW

Weekly technical working sessions run throughout the engagement. Testing and remediation can overlap as priorities and access allow.

TESTING SCOPE

Follow the risk across the application stack.

Modern attack paths rarely stay inside one interface. CyberCile testing can follow security conditions across eligible applications and APIs within the agreed engagement scope.

Web applications

  • Authentication
  • Authorization
  • Session management
  • Input handling
  • Business logic
  • Privilege boundaries
  • Sensitive data exposure
  • Application-specific attack paths

APIs

  • Object-level authorization
  • Function-level authorization
  • Authentication and token handling
  • Input manipulation
  • Business logic abuse
  • Rate limiting
  • Sensitive data exposure
  • Privilege escalation

Integrated attack paths

Where appropriate, testing should consider how weaknesses across applications, APIs, identities, workflows, and integrations can combine into meaningful attack paths.

Unlimited eligibility applies only to agreed web applications and APIs. Infrastructure, cloud configuration assessment, mobile testing, source code review, social engineering, and red teaming require separate agreement unless explicitly included.

INDEPENDENT VERIFICATION

Closed isn't the same as verified.

Engineering says:

Fixed.

The ticket says:

Resolved.

The scanner says:

Gone.

CyberCile asks:

Can we still exploit it?

A remediation task being completed does not independently demonstrate that the original attack path has been eliminated.

For remediated findings, CyberCile can:

VERIFIED
The remediation successfully addresses the tested security condition.
PARTIALLY FIXED
The remediation improves the condition, but exploitable behavior or meaningful risk remains.
NOT FIXED
The tested security condition remains exploitable.
UNABLE TO VERIFY
The available environment, access, evidence, or technical condition prevents a defensible validation result.
RISK ACCEPTED
The organization has formally chosen to retain the identified risk rather than remediate it within the engagement.

Risk Accepted is not equivalent to Verified. Scanning remains useful for ongoing hygiene; independent verification investigates the specific tested condition and attack path.

"Resolved" is a status. Verified is a result.

YOUR ASSURANCE PACKAGE

Evidence you can actually use.

Security evidence should be built while the work is happening, not reconstructed when a customer, bank, auditor, or stakeholder asks for it later.

EXECUTIVE SECURITY ASSURANCE SUMMARY
A leadership-level view of testing performed, material findings, remediation progress, verification status, and residual risk.
APPLICATION TESTING REGISTER
A record of eligible applications and APIs assessed during the engagement and their testing status.
VALIDATED FINDINGS REGISTER
Security findings supported by human validation and relevant technical evidence.
REMEDIATION & VERIFICATION REGISTER
A record of remediation activity and the resulting independent validation status.
RESIDUAL RISK REGISTER
Open, partially remediated, accepted, or otherwise unresolved risk at the end of the engagement.
SUPPORTING SECURITY EVIDENCE
Relevant evidence supporting testing and validation activity.
90-DAY SECURITY IMPROVEMENT SUMMARY
A concise view of what materially changed during the engagement.

Evidence requirements vary. Confirm the scope, dates, and artifacts your requesting organization needs; these deliverables do not automatically satisfy every review.

CLEAR SCOPE

What does unlimited testing actually mean?

During the 90-day engagement, CyberCile works through the agreed risk-prioritized testing queue across eligible web applications and APIs without charging per application or per individual test.

Included within the program

  • Eligible web applications
  • Eligible APIs
  • Risk-prioritized testing queue
  • Human-led security testing
  • Validated findings
  • Remediation support
  • Verification of eligible remediated findings
  • Testing associated with finding validation where appropriate
  • Weekly technical working sessions
  • Day 45 Security Review
  • Day 90 Executive Review
  • Final assurance package

Established during onboarding

  • Eligible systems
  • Testing environments
  • Rules of engagement
  • Testing windows
  • Access requirements
  • System priorities
  • Technical dependencies
  • Exclusions

"Unlimited" does not mean every possible security activity is automatically in scope.

It means eligible web applications and APIs are not priced as individual pentest engagements during the 90-day program.

Other services such as red teaming, social engineering, source code review, mobile testing, cloud configuration assessment, or other specialized testing require separate agreement unless explicitly included in the engagement.

Unlimited eligible testing is not unlimited capacity or simultaneous coverage. Work is scheduled within the 90-day engagement, agreed priorities, access, and available delivery capacity. Queue size and complexity can affect coverage; no fixed number of applications or completion of every queued test is guaranteed.

PROGRAM FIT

The program makes sense when…

You may only need a penetration test.

The 90-Day Assurance program is not the right engagement for every organization.

A focused penetration test may be the better starting point if:

WHY CYBERCILE

Security work should survive scrutiny.

CyberCile approaches assurance from the attacker's side.

We test whether security controls and remediation hold up under adversarial conditions, then document the evidence needed to understand and communicate the result.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 90-Day Financial Systems Security Assurance program?

A focused engagement combining human-led testing of eligible web applications and APIs, validated findings, remediation support, independent verification, technical working sessions, and an executive assurance package. Scope and objectives are agreed during onboarding.

How is this different from a penetration test?

A focused penetration test provides a point-in-time assessment of an agreed scope and may include a retest. This program keeps testing, remediation support, verification, and evidence work connected over 90 days. A narrowly defined requirement may be better served by a standalone pentest.

What does unlimited web application and API testing mean?

Eligible web applications and APIs are not charged as separate individual tests during the engagement. Work follows an agreed risk-prioritized queue. It does not mean unlimited simultaneous work, unlimited capacity, or a guarantee that every queued system will be completed. Eligibility, priorities, access, testing windows, and exclusions are agreed during onboarding.

How many applications can CyberCile test during the 90 days?

There is no universal number. Coverage depends on application complexity, user roles, API scope, access readiness, finding depth, remediation activity, and available engagement capacity. CyberCile agrees priorities with your team and reports testing status and any remaining scope.

How does CyberCile prioritize what gets tested first?

The queue reflects critical systems, exposure, sensitive workflows, meaningful attack paths, business objectives, and technical dependencies. Priorities are agreed during onboarding and reviewed as findings or system changes affect the engagement.

Does the program include remediation?

It includes remediation support: validated findings, technical context, guidance, working sessions, and verification of eligible fixes. Your team remains responsible for implementing changes unless a separate implementation arrangement is explicitly agreed.

Does CyberCile implement the fixes?

The client's engineering team or system owners generally implement remediation. CyberCile provides technical context, remediation guidance, and independent verification. Implementation work is not automatically included.

How does remediation verification work?

CyberCile reviews the finding and evidence, reproduces the original condition where feasible, tests the correction, and attempts reasonable bypasses or alternate paths where appropriate. The result is documented with supporting evidence and an explicit validation status.

What happens if a vulnerability is not fixed during the 90 days?

It remains documented with its current status and residual risk. Unresolved findings are not represented as verified. The final package records what remains, and any further work requires an agreed next step. Risk acceptance must be an explicit organizational decision.

What happens if a remediation is only partially effective?

The result is recorded as Partially Fixed when meaningful risk or exploitable behavior remains. CyberCile documents the remaining condition and provides guidance so your team can decide the next corrective action and verification step.

Can we use the final evidence with customers or banking partners?

Yes, subject to the requesting organization’s evidence requirements and appropriate confidentiality controls. Confirm what they need and share relevant summaries or supporting evidence securely. The package does not automatically satisfy every third party’s requirements.

Does the program guarantee that we will pass an audit or security review?

No. CyberCile cannot control the requirements or decisions of an auditor, customer, banking partner, regulator, or other third party. The program is designed to help identify security gaps, support remediation, independently verify eligible fixes, and produce evidence that can support those reviews.

Does the program include infrastructure testing?

Unlimited eligibility applies to agreed web applications and APIs. Standalone infrastructure testing and cloud configuration assessments require separate agreement unless explicitly included in your engagement scope. Relevant application dependencies may be considered within the authorized scope.

Does the program include code review?

Source code review is a separate service unless explicitly included in the engagement agreement. Access to application behavior during testing does not imply an unlimited source code review.

Does the program include red teaming?

Red teaming and social engineering require separate agreement unless explicitly included. They are not part of the unlimited eligible web application and API testing commitment.

What happens after the 90 days?

The engagement closes with the Day 90 Executive Review and final assurance package, including verification status and residual risk. Any additional testing, remediation verification, or ongoing support is discussed and separately agreed. There is no automatic long-term commitment.
