About Pthx

Security tested by practitioners, not just consultants

Founded on a simple principle: the best way to understand your security is to attack it -- ethically, methodically, and with the same techniques real adversaries use.

Our approach

Deep testing,
actionable results

We don't rely on automated scans passed off as penetration tests. Every engagement involves experienced testers who probe your systems, think creatively about attack paths, and chain findings together to demonstrate real-world impact.

Our reporting is designed to be useful -- technical detail for the teams who need to fix things, and clear executive summaries for stakeholders who need to understand the risk.

We work within clearly defined scopes and rules of engagement, maintaining open communication throughout every assessment.


Principles

What we believe

  • Deep testing matters

    Scanners find the obvious. Skilled testers find the exploitable. We combine both, but lead with deep analysis.

  • Context over compliance

    Ticking boxes doesn't make you secure. We focus on the threats most relevant to your organisation.

  • Actionable findings

    Every vulnerability comes with clear remediation guidance, risk context, and evidence. No padding.

  • Continuous improvement

    Security isn't a one-off exercise. We help organisations build testing into their development lifecycle.
