Step-By-Step Guidance

Follow these steps in order for a reliable and repeatable outcome.

  1. Decide if premium engagement is justified.

    Use premium assessments when risk context and assurance requirements exceed what self-serve automation alone can provide.

  2. Select the appropriate tier path.

    Penetration Test checkout is currently live. The deeper Comprehensive Assessment remains a staged next-rollout path.

  3. Prepare scope details before ordering.

    Accurate target and objective context improves engagement quality and shortens iteration cycles.

  4. Track delivery lifecycle and outcomes.

    Use the premium workflow status path to keep stakeholders aligned on progress and final output readiness.
