Security assessment and advisory services

Eight core service areas, plus three controlled exercise scopes.

LuxlyNight provides application, network, cloud, GenAI, threat-modeling, attack-path, purple-team, detection-capability, and product-security advisory engagements. Phishing Resilience Assessment and Malware Defense Validation are available as separately authorized scopes under Purple Team. A Physical Security Control Assessment may be offered only when the qualified delivery team and the additional facility, insurance, legal, authorization, and safety gates are confirmed. GenAI agent authority remains the signature specialty. Every engagement is qualified around the actual system, decision, access, and evidence boundary—there is no catalog price, preset duration, or one-size-fits-all package.

Recognizable entry points. One disciplined operating model.

The service names match the problems buyers already recognize. The work remains deliberately bounded around applications, networks, APIs, identity, cloud delivery, GenAI systems, attack paths, architecture, detection, controlled human, endpoint-defense, and physical-control exercises, and practical remediation—not a claim to cover every cybersecurity problem.

Test the application, network, cloud, or GenAI boundary that carries the decision.

These assessments follow defined systems, workloads, identities, roles, and paths. They combine human-led analysis with safe, authorized validation and reproducible evidence.

01 / Assess systems and controls

Application Security Assessment

Assess a defined application or API for exploitable weaknesses in authentication, authorization, business logic, sessions, tokens, data handling, and tenant isolation.

Use this whenWeb applications, customer portals, internal platforms, APIs, enterprise-deal reviews, and high-impact product releases.

You receive

  • Application, role, tenant, object, session, and API boundary inventory
  • Manual abuse cases for authorization, business logic, identity, and data flows
  • Reproducible evidence with prioritized remediation guidance
  • Engineering closeout and bounded remediation verification when scoped

BoundaryMobile, source-code, internal-network, denial-of-service, and other specialist coverage is not implied. Phishing requires its own separately authorized Phishing Resilience Assessment.

02 / Assess systems and controls

Network Security Assessment

Evaluate an approved external or internal network boundary for exposed services, unsafe trust relationships, segmentation gaps, weak access controls, and material attack paths.

Use this whenDefined office, data-center, hybrid, or product-supporting network segments where a release, customer, or risk decision depends on validated exposure.

You receive

  • Authorized range, service, trust, and access-path inventory
  • Selected exposure, segmentation, protocol, and configuration review
  • Manual validation of material paths using agreed safe methods
  • Prioritized findings, control recommendations, and bounded retest when scoped

BoundaryOffered only when the proposed delivery personnel and methods are confirmed for the named environment. Not an unbounded enterprise scan, covert red team, wireless assessment, destructive test, denial-of-service test, or OT assessment. Phishing and physical-security testing require separate written scopes.

03 / Assess systems and controls

Cloud Security Assessment

Assess the identities, privileges, trust relationships, secrets, containers, Kubernetes controls, deployment boundaries, and exposed paths behind an important cloud workload.

Use this whenCloud-hosted products, containerized workloads, Kubernetes platforms, privileged service identities, and complex access paths.

You receive

  • Identity, privilege, secret, and trust-path map
  • Selected configuration and control-effectiveness review
  • Approved abuse-path and deployment-boundary scenarios
  • Prioritized findings and a practical validation plan

BoundaryThe engagement follows selected products, workloads, identities, and paths; it is not an estate-wide cloud audit, managed cloud operation, or automatic broad cloud red team.

07 / Assess systems and controls

GenAI Security Assessment

Assess an LLM application or tool-using agent for prompt and tool abuse, unsafe data access, trust-boundary failures, and authority that exceeds the intended user, tenant, task, or action.

Use this whenProduction-bound agents, copilots, RAG applications, AI-enabled workflows, and GenAI features that retrieve sensitive data, call tools or APIs, or change state.

You receive

  • Intended authority, delegation, data, tool, and action model
  • Prompt, retrieval, output, tool, API, identity, and workflow abuse scenarios
  • Reproducible intended-versus-observed evidence
  • Prioritized findings, decision brief, and bounded retest when scoped

BoundaryNot model-quality, accuracy, bias, governance, privacy-program, or compliance certification—and not a continuous AI gateway or monitoring service.

Make threats, attack paths, detection capability, and next decisions concrete.

These engagements connect design intent, current-state exposure, plausible attacker movement, defensive evidence, and practical advisory to the decisions engineering and security teams must make and close.

04 / Map, validate, and advise

Threat Modeling

Challenge system design, data flows, identities, trust boundaries, abuse cases, failure modes, and operating assumptions before they harden into production risk.

Use this whenNew products, material architecture changes, sensitive-data workflows, AI integrations, and pre-launch security decisions.

You receive

  • System, identity, dependency, and data-flow decomposition
  • Threat, abuse-case, failure-mode, and trust-boundary analysis
  • Prioritized security requirements and design decisions
  • Testable validation backlog for engineering and assessment

BoundaryNot architecture certification, legal or compliance advice, a complete engineering design, or a guarantee that every possible threat has been identified.

05 / Map, validate, and advise

Attack Path Mapping

Map how an attacker could move across exposed services, applications, identities, network trust, cloud permissions, and control seams to reach a critical asset or action.

Use this whenTeams that have many controls and diagrams but still cannot explain which realistic paths reach a crown-jewel system, privilege, dataset, or business action.

You receive

  • Critical-asset, identity, privilege, exposure, and trust-path map
  • Plausible multi-step paths across the agreed application, network, and cloud boundary
  • Controlled validation of selected path assumptions when authorized
  • Prioritized control breaks, evidence gaps, and validation plan

BoundaryA scoped map is not continuous attack-surface management, an exhaustive enterprise attack graph, covert persistence, or proof that no other path exists.

06 / Map, validate, and advise

Purple Team & Attack Detection Capability Assessment

Run a narrow, threat-informed exercise to determine whether selected adversary behaviors—including separately scoped phishing, malware-like, or physical-access scenarios—are prevented, reported, observed, alerted on, investigated, and contained.

Use this whenTeams with deployed preventive and detective controls, usable telemetry, defined critical workflows, and defenders ready to observe a collaborative exercise.

You receive

  • Detection hypotheses and an approved ATT&CK-aligned test plan
  • Bounded execution of selected behaviors across authorized assets
  • Prevention, telemetry, alert, and investigation evidence
  • Control-gap and tuning backlog with a bounded retest when scoped

BoundaryNot a covert persistent red team, destructive activity, emergency response, or a continuous SOC service. Phishing, malware-defense, and physical-security validation require their own separately authorized scopes; live-malware deployment and unsafe physical intrusion are never included.

Separately scoped options

06A

Phishing Resilience Assessment

Assess whether a defined population and supporting controls can recognize, report, contain, and investigate an authorized phishing scenario without collecting real credentials or delivering harmful payloads.

Use this whenOrganizations validating workforce resilience, email security, identity safeguards, reporting channels, and response coordination before a customer review, control investment, or material change.

You receive
  • Approved population, scenario, message themes, safeguards, stop conditions, and communications plan
  • Controlled campaign execution with aggregate delivery, interaction, and reporting outcomes
  • Evidence across email controls, user reporting, identity safeguards, triage, and escalation
  • Prioritized control, training, and playbook improvements with a bounded retest when scoped

Hard boundaryQualification-gated and limited to the named population, approved domains, scenario, telemetry, and test window. No real credential or MFA-code collection, payment requests, malicious attachments, malware delivery, unauthorized third-party targeting, high-risk personal themes, public shaming, or employment conclusions.

06B

Malware Defense Validation

Use safe, reversible adversary emulation to determine whether selected malware-like behaviors are prevented, contained, logged, alerted on, and investigated across an approved environment.

Use this whenTeams with endpoint controls, EDR or XDR, SIEM, and response playbooks that need evidence for a defined malware-defense scenario rather than a broad or covert red-team engagement.

You receive
  • Threat-informed scenario, expected controls, authorized assets, safeguards, and stop conditions
  • Controlled execution using benign, reversible, customer-approved simulation techniques
  • Prevention, telemetry, alert, containment, and investigation evidence
  • Prioritized control-tuning and playbook backlog with a bounded retest when scoped

Hard boundaryQualification-gated safe emulation only. No malware development, sale, distribution, real credential theft, destructive or encrypting activity, uncontrolled command-and-control, covert persistence, data exfiltration, evasion development, live-malware deployment, real-sample detonation, or production disruption.

06C

Physical Security Control Assessment

Evaluate whether approved facility-access, visitor-management, monitoring, reporting, and response controls prevent, detect, and contain defined physical-access scenarios.

Use this whenOrganizations that need evidence about selected office, data-center, restricted-area, badge, visitor, monitoring, or response controls before a move, customer review, control investment, or material operational change.

You receive
  • Approved facilities, zones, participants, scenarios, methods, safeguards, communications, stop conditions, and emergency contacts
  • Review of selected perimeter, entry, badge, key, visitor, monitoring, alarm, and reporting controls
  • Customer-approved walkthroughs and non-destructive validation of named controls, with customer-run demonstrations where appropriate
  • Prioritized control, process, training, and response improvements with a bounded retest when scoped

Hard boundaryQualification-gated and offered only after named practitioners, applicable licensing, insurance, and methods are confirmed. Limited to named facilities, zones, participants, controls, and test windows under written authorization from every required facility, property, and system owner. No covert or forced entry, lock picking or bypass, tailgating, social engineering or impersonation, after-hours access, weapons, threats, theft, trespass, planted devices, property damage, residential targeting, covert surveillance, interference with life-safety, emergency, or security operations, contact with unapproved people, or unnecessary personal-data collection.

Product Security Advisory

Give product and engineering leaders bounded, practitioner-led support for a specific security decision, remediation program, delivery-control gap, or security roadmap.

Use this whenTeams that need senior security judgment and practical follow-through but do not need a managed program, generic retainer, or permanent executive role.

You receive

  • Decision framing, risk prioritization, and a written action roadmap
  • DevSecOps and secure-delivery control-effectiveness review when relevant
  • Finding closure, remediation verification, and engineering working sessions when scoped
  • Tailored secure-coding or threat-model workshops tied to the actual system

BoundaryNot vCISO service, managed AppSec, continuous vulnerability management, staff augmentation, legal or compliance advice, or an accredited training program.

Environment + access
Representative environments, approved identities, domains, populations, systems, sites, data constraints, production parity, facility authority, and available evidence
Test depth
Critical assets, roles, tenants, threats, attack paths, simulated messages or behaviors, physical-control scenarios, control seams, and required manual validation
Deliverables

Security judgment backed by engineering context.

The delivery model combines client-facing offensive-security and assessment leadership with supporting experience in application and network security, attack-path analysis, purple-team design, DevSecOps, cloud and Kubernetes controls, CI/CD security, GenAI and backend engineering, API design, validation, observability, technical QA, and secure-engineering enablement.

Public profiles remain role-based. The proposed delivery roles, relevant qualifications, access needs, and any additional practitioners or subcontractors are identified privately before sensitive access or active testing begins.

Phishing, malware-defense, and physical-security scopes proceed only when the proposed practitioners, applicable licenses, methods, infrastructure, insurance and legal requirements, data handling, facility authority, and customer approvals are confirmed in the signed engagement documents.
