Built for the Gap Between What a Pentest Claims to Do and What It Actually Delivers
Most organizations have had a penetration test that didn’t tell them much. The report was long. The findings were technically accurate, probably, but vague. Remediation advice pointed to OWASP articles rather than anything specific to their codebase. The whole thing sat in a shared drive, satisfied a compliance checkbox, and changed very little.
That experience is what Pentest Testing Corp was founded to replace.
Md. Shofiur built this firm around a single standard: every engagement should leave an organization measurably more secure. The report has to be clear enough for leadership and specific enough for engineers to act on the same day they receive it. Everything else — methodology, communication, and deliverable format — follows from that.
The Person Accountable for Your Engagement
Founder & CEO
Md. Shofiur Rahman
Md. Shofiur leads all client work at Pentest Testing Corp. He holds eight active certifications spanning ethical hacking, API security, web application testing, digital forensics, network security, and ISO 27001 information security management. He’s also recognized as a top-rated cybersecurity specialist on Freelancer.com — a distinction earned through hundreds of verified client engagements with documented outcomes, not a platform algorithm.
His approach is attacker-minded and evidence-driven. Rather than running scans and cataloguing output, he maps real attack paths, validates actual exploitability, and frames every finding around the business risk it represents — not just its CVSS score. Before founding the firm, he spent years developing hands-on expertise across the vulnerability classes that recur most in modern digital products: broken access control, authentication flaws, API authorization failures (BOLA and BFLA), business logic abuse, and cloud misconfiguration.
Our broader team includes certified specialists in API security, mobile application testing, cloud infrastructure assessment, and digital forensics. Specialist knowledge is applied where each engagement demands it.
Certifications That Back the Work
Our certifications aren’t decorative. They reflect specific, tested knowledge and directly shape how we approach each engagement — including how we align findings to the compliance frameworks our clients operate under. These are maintained and renewed, not historical credentials.
| Certification | Domain |
|---|---|
| Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) | Offensive security fundamentals |
| Certified API Pentester | API attack surface and authorization flaws |
| API Security for PCI Compliance | PCI DSS-aligned API testing standards |
| Web Application Penetration Testing | OWASP-aligned web security testing |
| Digital Forensics | Evidence collection and incident analysis |
| Windows Security & Forensics | Host-based investigation and hardening |
| Communication & Network Security | Network architecture and protocol security |
| ISO/IEC 27001 Information Security Associate™ | ISMS standards and compliance alignment |
When an engagement requires alignment to PCI DSS API security requirements, ISO 27001 controls, or HIPAA technical safeguards, our team works from certified, current knowledge of those frameworks.
How the Firm Grew
The practice started with web application testing for early-stage SaaS products. Clients returned for follow-on engagements and referred us to their networks. That cycle repeated until the firm had completed over 2,000 assessments across more than 257 organizations in 15+ countries — fintech platforms, healthcare portals, enterprise SaaS products, e-commerce businesses, and regulated organizations all needing the same thing: real findings and a clear path forward.
We’re not a large firm with a revolving cast of junior testers. Every engagement is led by a certified specialist who owns the work from scoping through final delivery. That’s a deliberate choice, not a limitation, and it’s why clients come back.
Who We Work With
Our clients share one characteristic: they need to understand their actual security exposure — not a scan report with a logo on it.
Financial services & fintech
Payment platforms, lending APIs, and transaction systems tested with PCI DSS alignment in scope.
Healthcare & health tech
Patient portals, telehealth platforms, and health data APIs where HIPAA technical safeguards are part of what we test for.
SaaS & multi-tenant platforms
Cloud-native products where BOLA, tenant isolation failures, and insecure object references are prevalent and consistently missed by automated tools.
E-commerce
Checkout flows, vendor-side access controls, and stored payment data pathways.
Agencies & development teams
Firms that need a trusted pentest delivery partner for their clients, under white-label or co-branded arrangements.
Enterprise & compliance-driven orgs
Teams preparing for SOC 2, ISO 27001 certification, or vendor security reviews where the pentest report must function as documented audit evidence.
Why Compliance Teams Trust Our Process
AI penetration testing engagements follow the OWASP LLM Top 10 (2025) framework with hands-on adversarial methodology — not automated scanning. Every engagement begins with a signed NDA, yours or ours, with rules of engagement documented before go-live. Test evidence is encrypted in transit and at rest, and all test data is destroyed or returned upon engagement completion.
Beyond the Engagements
Security is our profession. Responsibility is integral to the company’s structure. We allocate at least 2% of monthly revenue to social impact — supporting underprivileged communities and contributing to disaster relief in Bangladesh. It’s a standing commitment built into how we measure ourselves, not a footnote.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose a penetration testing company?
Look for three things: verified certifications from recognized bodies, a demonstrated methodology (not just a tool list), and sample deliverables you can actually review. A firm that can’t show you what a real report looks like before you hire them is a firm that doesn’t stand behind their output. We publish a sample report openly — you can download it before any conversation.
What certifications should a penetration testing firm hold?
At minimum: Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH), OSCP, or equivalent offensive security credentials. For API-heavy engagements, look for API-specific certifications. For compliance-aligned testing, certifications in the relevant framework (PCI, ISO 27001, HIPAA) matter. Our team holds eight active certifications spanning all of these domains.
What is included in a penetration test report?
A quality report includes an executive summary, individual technical findings with reproduction steps and evidence, severity ratings with business context, remediation guidance specific to your stack, and a prioritized fix roadmap. Our sample report demonstrates the full format.
What is the difference between manual and automated penetration testing?
Automated scanning identifies known vulnerability patterns quickly. Manual testing finds logic flaws, authorization failures, and chained attack paths that automated tools cannot. The most critical vulnerabilities — BOLA, BFLA, business logic abuse, and insecure direct object references — require a human tester to find. We use automation for efficiency, but every finding is manually validated.
What is a BOLA vulnerability in API security?
BOLA stands for Broken Object Level Authorization — OWASP API Security Top 10 #1. It occurs when an API endpoint accepts a user-controlled object identifier (like an account ID) without properly verifying that the requesting user has authorization to access that specific object. It is one of the most prevalent and impactful API vulnerabilities, and consistently missed by automated scanners.
