Security testing

Find the holes before someone else does.

Most small-business break-ins aren't clever. They come through an old plugin, a guessable login or a page that shows other people's data. We test for all of it and hand you a report you can actually read.

  • Logins and accountsPassword guessing, weak resets, sessions that never expire, admin pages left open.
  • Other people's dataWhether one customer can see another's orders, invoices or files by changing a link.
  • Injection and uploadsForms, search boxes and file uploads that let code or files onto your server.
  • Plugins, themes and librariesEverything your site runs on, checked against known vulnerabilities.
  • Server and configurationSSL, security headers, exposed files, backups and who still has access.
Scope and permissionWe agree in writing what we'll test, when, and what's off limits. Nothing is touched before that's signed.
TestAutomated scans to cover the ground, then hands-on testing where the real problems hide.
ReportEvery finding ranked by risk, with proof, plain-English impact and the exact fix.
Fix and retestYour developer fixes it, or we do. Then we test again and update the report.

We only test systems you own or have the right to authorize, under a signed scope. The report is yours to share with insurers, clients or auditors.

Websites

Sites that load fast, get found and stay locked down.

Every site is hand-coded, mobile-first and tested before launch, with the same checks we run for paying security clients.

  • Live in about two weeks
  • On-page SEO and schema from day one
  • Security headers, locked logins and backups as standard
  • You own the code, the domain and every account

Why Tribe Studios

The people who build it are the people who test it.

No account managers in between. You talk to the developer writing your code, and the same team that builds your site knows how it gets attacked.

Common questions

Things people ask before we start.

How does a project start?

A free 30-minute call, then a written proposal with a fixed price. Once you approve it we kick off, and you see progress every week.

Is a penetration test legal? Will it break my site?

It's legal when the owner authorizes it in writing, which is the first thing we do. We agree on what's in scope and when we test, and we avoid anything that could take a live site down unless you ask for it.

What's the difference between a checkup and a pen test?

A checkup covers the common ways small-business sites get hacked, at a flat price. A pen test is a deeper, hands-on attack on an app, portal or API, scoped and quoted for your system.

Can you test a site someone else built?

Yes. Most of our security work is on sites and apps we didn't build. We'll work with your developer on the fixes or make them ourselves.

Do I need this if I'm a small business?

Small businesses are the easiest targets because nobody's watching. One outdated plugin is usually all it takes.

Who owns the code?

You do: the code, the domain, the hosting account and every login. If you leave, you take everything with you.
