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.
