Why Choose SEVN-X?
Skip the Jargon
The 500-page reports of unformatted tool output are hard to read, hard to understand, and ultimately hard to use.
SEVN-X’s hand-crafted reports contain clean, simple—but detailed—explanations with actionable recommendations.

No Bait-and-Switch
Your projects will be evaluated and scoped by the same experts who lead those projects.
Communication Before, During, and After an Engagement
Gain clarity and certainty on all levels of the engagement. Our highly-communicative approach means you’re never wondering about progress or next steps.
Close the Skills Gap
Up-skill your team by putting them in the same room as our experts. Your team can ask questions and test controls in real time. The exposure to our experts, processes, and tools will leave your team better equipped to handle security without third-party resources.

Red Team Methodology
Leveraging our contacts in the attack community, we understand the approach of modern attackers. We apply that same approach to every engagement we do.
One Team, One Dream
Our experts hold many security certifications but also draw on the expertise of our entire team to assist in building a cybersecurity program or help in solving technical problems.

Skip The Jargon
Anybody else dislike 500 pages of raw tool output in a report as much as we do? Sure, it may look cool (and like you did something), but who is this really helping?
Our reports are clean, simple, and packed with details, explanations, and most importantly, actionable remediation guidance. Take a look for yourself...

No Bait-and-Switch here. Your projects will be evaluated and scoped by the same practitioners who lead and have led those projects. We provide clear and supportive communication before, during, and after each engagement—that's our promise. So if you're not happy by the end, we'll keep at it till you are. —Matt Barnett, CEO
