Built by Operators.
For Security Teams.
AxVeil is the offensive security practice we wished existed when we were on the other side of the table — receiving pentest reports that read well but moved nothing forward.
The enterprise pen-test market is broken in a specific way.
Most engagements ship a CVSS-scored PDF, mark the box for the auditor, and disappear. Defenders are left with a list of CVEs but no chained attack story, no validation that the fix actually held, and no relationship with the people who tested them.
Industry research backs this up. Verizon's 2024 Data Breach Investigations Report found that exploitation of vulnerabilities as an initial access vector grew roughly 180% year over year — while the median time-to-patch for critical CVEs measured in CISA's KEV catalog still sits in weeks, not days. The gap between offense and defense widens every quarter the report stays in the drawer.
AxVeil exists to close that gap for organisations that cannot afford a 10-person internal red team — but cannot afford a scanner masquerading as one either.
Operator-led methodology, end to end.
Every engagement is owned by a named operator who runs scoping, exploitation, the debrief, and the retest. Tooling is the floor, not the ceiling — we use the same scanners you do, then continue the manual exploitation chain that scanners cannot reach.
Methodology is anchored in CREST's technical guidance, MITRE ATT&CK for adversary emulation coverage, and OWASP's testing guides for application surface. Findings are reproduced live in a debrief with your engineers — not handed off to a sales rep.
One operator, four phases — no hand-offs
Scope
We map the real attack surface with you and agree rules of engagement in writing — no scope creep, no surprises.
Exploit
Manual exploitation and chaining beyond the scanner floor — proving impact, not just flagging a CVSS score.
Debrief
Findings reproduced live with your engineers so the “why it matters” lands before the report does.
Retest
Same operator re-validates every fix within 30 days of remediation — included, no new SOW.
Operator-First
Every engagement is led by a practitioner who has run real offensive operations — not someone reviewing a Nessus export.
Transparent
Every finding ships with a reproducible PoC, the full attack chain, and a single-page executive summary your board can read.
Partnership
Scoping, exploitation, debrief, and a remediation retest — included. We do not parachute in and disappear with a PDF.
Concrete deliverables, not a slide deck.
Each engagement closes with four artefacts your team can act on the same week:
- →Executive summary. One page. Risk in business language, board-ready.
- →Technical report. Findings with CVSS v4, attack chain, reproducible PoC, and concrete remediation steps mapped to your stack.
- →Engineer debrief. Live walkthrough with your team. We answer the “why does this matter” question in person.
- →Free retest. Within 30 days of remediation. Same operator. No new SOW.
Operator-led offensive security, accessible beyond the Fortune 500.
Our roadmap sits at the intersection of two underserved gaps: the Indian and APAC mid-market — where DPDP, RBI, and SEBI CSCRF are reshaping security obligations — and the global SaaS scale-up that needs a continuous adversary perspective without a Tier-1 consultancy retainer.
We are deliberately staying small enough that every client speaks to the operator who tested them. Growth is paced to that constraint — not the other way around.
Aman Kumar — the operator behind every AxVeil engagement.
4+ years of senior offensive security delivery — 80+ client engagements covering web, mobile, API, infrastructure, Active Directory and cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP). OSCP-certified (2024) and CEH v12-certified.
Lead operator on enterprise-scale VAPT programmes including a government deployment (200+ servers, 40+ apps; ~40% reduction in vulnerability exposure), a shipping & logistics enterprise rollout (2000+ servers, 65+ apps; ~80% organisational risk reduction), and a banking-sector engagement in Oman covering 1000+ servers and 100+ applications.
Specialisms: Active Directory compromise, cloud attack-path enumeration, LLM & AI security testing (prompt injection, jailbreaking, model abuse), and configuration / secure-code review aligned to CIS and NIST. Speaker at NULLCON Goa and BSides Bangalore.
AxVeil exists to bring that delivery standard to mid-market and APAC enterprises that have, until now, only had access to it via Tier-1 consultancies on Tier-1 budgets.
