Offensive Security

Penetration testing and security assessments led by experts and powered by agentic AI. We find out what an attacker would discover on your systems, before they do.

01 · Why

Today, “running a scan” is no longer enough. Nor is a traditional pentest.

A website, web app, SaaS platform or API may look fine while hiding unauthorised access, exposed data and business logic that can be bypassed. The point is not to raise alarms: it is to find what really matters and prove it.

Automated scanners

Cheap, but blind

It cannot see business logic and is full of false positives. It leaves hundreds of alerts and zero certainty about what is actually exploitable

Manual pentesting

Thorough, but slow

Expensive and hard to scale. It depends on rare expertise and timelines few organizations can afford.

Magellano · the third way

Thorough and scalable

The depth of an expert team, with the speed and coverage that agentic AI makes possible. Every finding is validated by a human.

02 · Our method

Human command. A red team at scale.

Every penetration test is led by human command, under the technical responsibility of our security team. The expert decides what to test and signs off on the results; AI agents work in parallel across the entire attack surface.

Human command

The penetration tester in command

Sets the strategy, decides what to test, interprets the context, separates real vulnerabilities from noise, and signs the report. The machine explores; the human decides.

An AI coordinator translates strategy into operations, directs the specialized agents, filters out noise, and reports back to human command.
Advanced

Advanced agents

Exploit chaining, impact analysis, multi-step scenarios, cloud and multi-tenant environments, complex APIs, and critical functions.

Senior

Senior agents

Authorization, authentication, business logic, BOLA / IDOR, workflow abuse, and signal correlation.

Junior

Junior agents

Reconnaissance, mapping, endpoints and parameters, OWASP checklists, known misconfigurations, and recurring patterns.

AI

Why agentic AI

Independent studies on real-world networks show that agentic AI frameworks match certified human pentesters on coverage while still lagging behind on judgment — which is why the final call always rests with a person. Reference: J. W. Lin et al., arXiv:2512.09882.

03 · Scope

One service, your entire attack surface

From web apps to infrastructure, from AI models to source code: one method, six areas of coverage, sized to the scope we agree on with you.

01

Web & SaaS

Websites, portals, web apps, and SaaS platforms: authentication, authorization, business logic, data exposure.

02

APIs

REST, GraphQL, and machine-to-machine services: BOLA / IDOR, workflow abuse, input validation, and rate limiting.

03

Mobile apps

iOS and Android, following OWASP MASVS: local storage, communications, client-side hardening, and the connected backend.

04

Infrastructure & network

External and internal perimeter, cloud and multi-tenant surfaces, segmentation, misconfigurations, and exposures.

05

AI / LLM security

AI models and AI-powered applications: prompt injection, data leakage, agent abuse, inference controls.

06

Secure code review

Attacker-driven code review: source-level vulnerabilities, dependencies, and the build pipeline.

04 · Trust and control

Maximum depth, zero improvisation

We use advanced AI models without ever letting your data leave in plain text. Every engagement follows a closed loop: data comes in protected, lives in isolation, and is gone when the work is done. Under no circumstances is client data used to train models.

01 · Intake

De-identification

Hosts, credentials, identifiers, and sensitive references are pseudonymized before any external processing. The models only ever see the anonymized version.

02 · Processing

Dedicated encrypted environment

Each client gets its own encrypted, isolated environment, hosted on ACN-qualified cloud infrastructure in Italy. Access is via session tokens only — never persistent credentials.

03 · Closure

Destruction at end of engagement

Once report delivery is confirmed, the environment is destroyed along with all data, logs, and tokens. Only a minimal execution record is retained for the traceability required by DORA and NIS2.

05 · What you get

A report your management can read and your tech team can act on

  • Every vulnerability backed by evidence: request and response, screenshots, timestamp, severity (CVSS 3.1), and impact.
  • A clear line between what’s confirmed and what still needs validation. No noise.
  • Remediation priorities and a concrete foundation for your remediation plan.
  • Retesting and recurring assessment plans available to verify fixes over time.

06 · Engagement models

Three models. One method.

The same chain of command, sized to your attack surface and the risk you need to cover. The final quote is based on the agreed scope.

Small Business

Scope-based quote

Brochure websites, landing pages, WordPress sites, small e-commerce stores, simple applications, or lightweight APIs.

The team: human command coordinating a compact core of agents (senior and junior) on the main attack surface.
Most popular

Mid-size Business

Scope-based quote

Digital platforms, complex e-commerce, customer portals, web-based business management systems, and authenticated corporate APIs.

The team: human command with a coordinating agent and multiple agents exploring the entire application in parallel.

Enterprise

Scope-based quote

Corporate groups, complex infrastructures, multi-tenant SaaS, API ecosystems, and organizations subject to NIS2 or DORA requirements.

The team: a war room with multiple high-ranking agents and an extended squad of specialized agents under human command.

No fixed price list: every engagement is quoted on its actual scope (perimeter, depth, constraints). Contact us for a quote.

07 · Compliance and assurance

Regulations don’t ask whether you have the tools. They ask for proof.

NIS2, DORA, ISO/IEC 27001, and GDPR all require evidence, control, and risk management. A documented penetration test is one of the most concrete forms of proof you can provide.

NIS2

Testing and risk assessments supporting security and incident management obligations.

DORA

Digital operational resilience: regular testing and full activity traceability for the financial sector.

ISO/IEC 27001

Evidence supporting management system controls and certification processes.

GDPR

Verification of technical measures protecting personal data and reduced risk of data breaches.

Our method, in one line: an expert leads AI agents explore the method brings order evidence confirms the report turns risk into action
08 · The team

People who decide, technology that scales

The service is delivered by a team of penetration testers and security engineers holding offensive security and audit certifications, coordinated by an ISO/IEC 27001 Lead Auditor. It’s the same culture of security and compliance that led Magellano Tech to achieve a certified integrated management system.

ISO/IEC 27001:2022 ISO/IEC 27017 & 27018 UNI CEI ISO/IEC 42001:2024 ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 UNI EN ISO 22301:2019
HTB COAE

Certified Offensive AI Expert (Hack The Box)

Our team holds one of the first HTB COAE certifications issued worldwide, and one of the first in Italy: the AI red teaming credential earned through a 7-day hands-on engagement on real AI infrastructure, culminating in a commercial-grade technical report. This is the expertise that drives our testing of AI and LLM systems and the orchestration of our offensive agents.

Why Magellano Tech

A software house, not just auditors

We build software, SaaS platforms, and AI solutions. We know code from the inside: when we test an application, we know where to look, because we build applications like it every day.

Infrastructure on ACN-qualified cloud in Italy, with certified information security and AI management systems. Compliance isn’t an add-on: it’s how we work.
