Same industry, a different way of running an engagement

Years spent working inside large security consultancies showed us the same pattern again and again: a sales-led process, scopes built by people who'd never run a test, and junior staff placed on work they weren't ready for. Here's the difference, side by side.

How It Often Works
×Engagements are sales-led, with scope shaped around the budget rather than the application
×Scoping is handled by account managers or sales staff, not by anyone who has run a test
×Applications end up over-scoped or under-scoped, because whoever set the scope couldn't judge the real attack surface
×Junior testers are allocated to engagements beyond their experience, with limited oversight
×Day rates stay high regardless of the consultant's actual ability, so premium pricing doesn't guarantee basic testing competence
×The process varies engagement to engagement, with little consistency in how testing, reporting, or retesting actually run
How We Work
Engagements are scoped around your application and your compliance driver, at a fixed price agreed before testing starts
The person who joins the scoping call is the same person who runs the test, so scope reflects real testing effort
Scope is sized to your actual application and API surface, not a template package
No hand-offs to junior staff. One experienced team, start to finish
What you pay for is what you get: experienced hands-on testing, not a day rate riding on a title
A defined four-stage process, run the same way on every engagement: scoping, testing, reporting, retesting

Skill level varies far more across the industry than day rates suggest, and companies routinely pay premium rates for consultants who can't carry out basic testing. We built ProcSecurity to strip all of that out: one team, scoped and priced against your actual application, running the same four-stage process every time.
