Our Services

Comprehensive Offensive Security Capabilities

From scoped penetration tests to full-scope red team operations, we deliver actionable intelligence about your real-world security posture — not scanner reports.

01
AI Application Assessment

Security assessment of AI and large language model applications mapped to the OWASP LLM Top 10 — testing for prompt injection, insecure output handling, training data poisoning, model theft, and excessive agency risks in agentic architectures.

02
External Network Assessment

Comprehensive attack simulation against internet-facing infrastructure — web applications, APIs, VPN gateways, mail servers, and exposed services — from the perspective of an unauthenticated external attacker with full exploitation chains.

03
Internal Network Assessment

Simulate a malicious insider or compromised endpoint. We map lateral movement paths, privilege escalation vectors, Active Directory attack chains, and routes to your most critical assets and data across the internal environment.

04
Mobile Application Assessment

Manual iOS and Android application assessments aligned to the OWASP MASTG and MASVS — covering insecure data storage, cryptography flaws, authentication bypasses, network communication weaknesses, and platform interaction abuse.

05
Purple Team Assessment

Collaborative adversarial exercise where our red team and your blue team work in tandem — executing real attack techniques while your defenders tune detections in real time, measurably improving your organization's detection and response capabilities.

06
Red Team Assessment

Full-scope adversarial simulation replicating advanced persistent threat actors — testing people, processes, and technology simultaneously with MITRE ATT&CK-mapped TTPs to measure your organization's true detection, containment, and response capability.

07
Social Engineering Assessment

Targeted phishing campaigns, vishing operations, and pretexting exercises aligned to the Social-Engineer Framework — quantifying your human attack surface and evaluating the effectiveness of your security awareness program with actionable metrics.

08
Web Application Assessment

Manual-first assessment of web applications, REST and GraphQL APIs, and web backends aligned to the OWASP WSTG and Top 10 — covering business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, authentication bypasses, and attack paths beyond automated scanner reach.

09
Security Advisory

Post-engagement remediation guidance, security program maturity reviews, and executive-level reporting that translates technical findings into business risk — with prioritized remediation roadmaps that give your team a clear, actionable path forward.

About MAFIAsec

Masters At Finding
Intelligent Attitudes

Founded in January 2018, MAFIAsec was built on a single premise: the most effective security testing comes from professionals who think, act, and operate like real adversaries.

We are not checkbox assessors. We are offensive security practitioners who bring deep technical expertise, creative adversarial thinking, and an uncompromising commitment to findings that drive real security improvement.

  • Practitioner-led engagements — every assessment is conducted by experienced, credentialed security professionals. No junior analysts, no scripted checklists.
  • Tailored to your threat model — we design every engagement around your actual risk exposure, industry, and adversary profile — not a one-size-fits-all template.
  • Dual-audience deliverables — clear, narrative-driven reports for executives and deeply technical write-ups for your engineering and security teams.
  • Strict confidentiality — all engagements operate under NDA. We treat your environment, data, and findings with the highest level of discretion.
Methodology & Frameworks

Grounded in Industry-Standard Frameworks

Every MAFIAsec engagement is conducted under the industry’s most rigorous offensive security frameworks. Our methodology maps directly to recognized standards so findings carry meaning beyond our report.

AI Application Assessments
OWASP LLM Top 10

AI and LLM application assessments follow the OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and OWASP AI Security & Privacy Guide — testing for prompt injection, insecure output handling, training data poisoning, model denial-of-service, sensitive data exposure, supply chain vulnerabilities, and excessive agency in agentic architectures.

External & Internal Network Assessments
PTES

The Penetration Testing Execution Standard governs all network and infrastructure engagements — covering pre-engagement intelligence, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation, lateral movement, and formal reporting deliverables. Network, external, and internal assessments follow PTES end-to-end.

Mobile Application Assessments
OWASP MASTG & MASVS

iOS and Android assessments are conducted against the OWASP Mobile Application Security Testing Guide (MASTG) and verified against the MASVS — covering insecure data storage, cryptography flaws, authentication bypasses, network communication weaknesses, platform interaction abuse, and binary protection analysis.

Red & Purple Team Assessments
MITRE ATT&CK

All red team operations and adversarial simulations are mapped to the MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise and Mobile matrices. Every TTP executed is documented by ATT&CK technique ID, giving your blue team a direct correlation between simulation findings and real-world threat actor behavior for detection engineering.

Social Engineering Assessments
Social-Engineer Framework

Social engineering engagements are designed and executed under the Social-Engineer Framework (social-engineer.org) — covering attack vectors including phishing, vishing, pretexting, and influence techniques, with campaign metrics and awareness program benchmarking aligned to industry standards.

Web Application Assessments
OWASP WSTG

Web application assessments follow the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) and OWASP Top 10 — testing authentication, session management, injection, access control, cryptography, and business logic. Manual exploit chaining goes well beyond what automated scanners detect.

Expertise & Credentials

Proven Experience. Elite Credentials.

Our practitioners bring over a decade of offensive security experience working alongside the industry’s leading firms, paired with the highest-tier certifications in offensive security.

Background & Experience

10+ Years of Hands-On Offensive Security

Our team brings over a decade of hands-on penetration testing and adversarial red team experience spanning network penetration testing, social engineering operations, complete red team engagements, and web application security assessments.

Prior to founding MAFIAsec, our practitioners developed their craft at industry-leading offensive security firms including Trustwave SpiderLabs, Bishop Fox, and other recognized leaders — delivering engagements for Fortune 500 companies, critical infrastructure operators, financial institutions, and government entities.

Why MAFIAsec

What Sets Us Apart

  • 01
    Real-World Attacker Perspective

    Our consultants come from deep offensive security backgrounds. We don't simulate attacks — we execute them, bringing the same creativity and persistence as a motivated, skilled threat actor.

  • 02
    Manual-First, Not Scan-Dependent

    Automated tools are a starting point, never the deliverable. We find what scanners miss — logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, misconfiguration chains, and creative attack paths.

  • 03
    Reporting That Drives Action

    Our reports are written for both executives and engineers. Every finding includes business impact, risk severity, and concrete remediation steps — not just CVE identifiers and scanner output.

  • 04
    A Long-Term Security Partner

    We build lasting relationships. Our clients return because we understand their environments, risk tolerance, and goals — and consistently deliver engagements that exceed the defined scope and objectives.

"

The most effective security assessment is one where the testers are as motivated, creative, and persistent as a real attacker. At MAFIAsec, that is the only standard we operate under.
