What does a cybersecurity audit include?

Our audits cover network vulnerabilities, application security, access controls, data protection practices, and a full written report with fixes prioritised by severity — Critical, High, Medium, and Low. You also get a 60-minute debrief call where we walk your team through each finding in plain language.

How often should a business run a security audit?

At minimum once per year. High-risk industries like finance, healthcare, and legal should audit every 6 months. Any time you launch a new product, migrate infrastructure, or add a third-party integration is also a good trigger for a targeted review.

Do you offer penetration testing for small businesses?

Yes. Penetration testing is not just for enterprises. Small businesses are frequent targets precisely because their defences are weaker. We offer startup-tier pricing for companies under 25 employees, and our engagements are scoped to your actual attack surface — we do not run an enterprise-sized test on a 10-person business.

What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment scans your systems for known weaknesses and produces a risk-rated list. A penetration test goes further — a tester actively tries to exploit those weaknesses, simulating what a real attacker would do. Both deliver written reports; penetration tests include proof-of-concept evidence showing exactly how a breach could happen. For most small businesses, we recommend starting with a vulnerability assessment and scheduling full penetration testing annually.

What does your free external security assessment cover?

We scan your public-facing attack surface: web application endpoints, open ports, SSL and TLS configuration, exposed admin panels, outdated software versions, and domain reputation. You receive a written report with a risk rating for each finding. The assessment takes 2 to 3 business days and requires no access to your internal systems — we only look at what an attacker could see from the outside.

How do you deliver findings and what happens after the audit?

You receive a written report with an executive summary, technical findings, severity ratings, and step-by-step remediation instructions. We then run a 60-minute debrief call to walk your team through the findings. If you want us to fix the issues rather than hand them to your own developers, we offer remediation as a separate engagement. We do not hand you a 200-page report and disappear.

We are a startup with under 20 employees — do we really need security services?

The size of your company does not determine whether attackers target you — the value of your data does. Startups handling customer payment data, health records, or login credentials are regularly targeted because their defences are weaker. A basic security audit costs less than one day of downtime from a ransomware attack. We offer startup-tier pricing specifically for teams under 25 people.

How fast a breach escalates

From scan to ransomware in 72 hours.

This is a real-world attack sequence. Most businesses only find out on day 4 — when it's already over.

Initial Scan

T+0

Automated scanner probes your public attack surface — ports, subdomains, exposed services.

T+8 min

Admin panel discovered at /admin. No rate limiting detected. Password spraying begins.

Credentials Compromised

T+45 min

Leaked password from a previous breach works. Admin access granted via credential stuffing.

Lateral Movement

T+2 hrs

Attacker pivots to internal network. Database server found. Customer records accessible.

Data Exfiltration

T+6 hrs

250,000 customer records silently copied to external server. You still don't know.

Ransomware Deployed

T+72 hrs

All servers encrypted. Ransom demand: $180,000. Average breach cost: $4.5M.

We find these gaps before attackers do — for free.

What can an attacker see about your domain?

Enter your domain. We'll show you what's visible from the outside — the same view an attacker gets for free.

Our methodology

How we conduct every security assessment.

Six structured phases. Zero surprises. Every engagement follows this methodology — scoped to your environment, never templated.

Reconnaissance

We map your entire public attack surface — domains, subdomains, exposed services, email addresses, and leaked credentials available to any attacker with a search engine.

OSINT · DNS enumeration · Shodan/Censys · Leaked credential checks

Vulnerability Scanning

Automated and manual scanning of ports, services, and web applications. We identify every exposed endpoint and check for known CVEs and misconfigurations.

Port mapping · CVE matching · Web crawler · SSL/TLS audit

Exploitation

We attempt to exploit every finding using the same techniques real attackers use — without causing disruption. Our goal is to prove impact, not just list vulnerabilities.

Manual pen testing · Chained attacks · Auth bypass · Injection

Post-Exploitation

Once inside, we test how far an attacker could go — lateral movement, privilege escalation, and data access — to show the full blast radius of a breach.

Privilege escalation · Lateral movement · Data exposure · Persistence

Reporting

A written report with every finding, CVSS severity scores, proof-of-concept screenshots, and a prioritised remediation list. No jargon — clear next steps your team can act on.

CVSS scoring · Executive summary · Technical detail · Remediation roadmap

Remediation Support

We don't disappear after delivery. We answer your developers' questions, verify fixes, and confirm every vulnerability is closed — included at no extra cost.

Fix verification · Developer Q&A · Re-test included · Closure report

Why Secure Labs

Security testing done right — not just done.

Most pen testing firms deliver a scanner report and disappear. We do the work manually, explain every finding, and stay until it's fixed.

NDA before we start

Every engagement begins with a signed NDA. Your systems, findings, and business context are strictly confidential — never referenced in case studies without written permission.

Written report, not a spreadsheet

You receive a structured report with executive summary, full technical findings, CVSS scores, and a prioritised remediation roadmap. Not a raw scanner export.

Re-test included

After you remediate, we re-test every finding at no extra charge. We don't close the engagement until we can confirm what we found is actually fixed.

Scoped to minimise disruption

We work outside business hours for any potentially disruptive testing. Production systems stay stable. No surprises on Monday morning.

Direct access to the tester

You speak with the person who did the work — not an account manager reading from a report. Your developers can ask technical questions and get real answers.

UAE & Global presence

Our team operates across Dubai, London, and New York. We understand the local regulatory environment and can conduct on-site assessments when needed.

Free for qualified businesses

You cannot fix what you cannot see. Let us show you exactly what an attacker would find.

Our free security assessment covers your external attack surface — web apps, DNS, email, exposed services. You get a written report with every finding ranked by severity and a remediation priority list.

No commitment. No upsell. Just a clear picture of your exposure.

Frequently Asked Questions About Cybersecurity

Cybersecurity Services for Businesses in Pakistan and UAE

Secure Labs at SyedFarazCorp provides penetration testing, vulnerability assessments, and security audits for businesses across Pakistan and UAE. We serve clients in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah — across industries including fintech, healthcare, ecommerce, real estate, and professional services.

Cybersecurity in Pakistan is governed by the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA 2016) and the forthcoming Personal Data Protection Bill. In UAE, the Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021 requires businesses to protect customer data with appropriate technical controls. Non-compliance fines in UAE start at AED 250,000. Our security assessments identify whether your current practices meet these legal requirements.

Penetration testing for a typical Pakistani or UAE business costs PKR 200,000 to PKR 600,000 (AED 3,000 to AED 10,000). Engagements run 5 to 10 business days depending on scope. You need to provide us with written authorisation to test your systems — we do not begin any testing without a signed scope agreement. All findings are kept strictly confidential. Secure Labs operates under non-disclosure agreements as standard on every engagement.

Secure Labs also offers a free external attack surface assessment — we scan your public-facing systems and deliver a written risk report at no cost. Request your free assessment to see your current exposure before an attacker does.
