What happens after you place your order
Preparation
We set the date for the project.
If not already done, we will discuss your motivation and project goals. Based on that, we design the project together.
You will receive a preparation checklist, which also serves as an agenda for the kick-off. We will discuss all technical and organizational preparations 1–3 weeks before the project. We are particularly interested in your worst-case scenarios so we can focus on them during the pentest.
One week before the project starts, we’ll let you know whether everything is ready for a smooth start.
Execution
If it makes sense, we’ll start with an onboarding call, where you walk us through the (technical) details for complex test scenarios.
We start the pentest, find vulnerabilities for you, and immediately inform you of any critical findings.
We will contact you no later than when the tests have been completed. If you wish, we can also keep you up to date during the test.
Follow-up
You will receive the results report no later than 5 business days after the engagement is completed.
In the final meeting, we will present the results to you in detail and clarify any questions you may have.
Optionally—but always included—we offer a 15-minute management presentation.
If you need support after the pentest, we’ll be happy to connect you with a suitable partner.
After remediation, a retest is usually useful to verify that the measures are effective.

What our customers say
Both my colleagues and I were amazed by how many issues Nina was able to identify—even in functionality that hasn’t been developed for several years and that other penetration testers have reviewed over the years (and found nothing 😉). Kudos.
We had a comprehensive penetration test carried out on our infrastructure. Christian gave us a new perspective on our IT. With his support, we were able to improve our IT security sustainably and in a structured way.
MindBytes is a partner that can handle more complex pentests of desktop clients and Citrix as well. The cooperation worked very well: We received an exceptionally detailed report that not only clearly described the problems, but also went into detail about specific possible solutions.
The collaboration was pleasant and extremely well organized.
We are very satisfied with the preparation, execution and discussion of the results. The documentation was very clear and well explained, and we also appreciate the additional documents we received.
Communication and planning were very clear and pleasant, and the presentation of the findings was structured and understandable—even for me as a non-IT person.
It was good for me to see again that things can be quick and uncomplicated. It only took a few days—two, to be exact—from the offer to filling out the self-disclosure form and the final assignment. We were always in contact, and you always had an open ear. The tests showed that there is always something to do in IT security, as attackers’ approaches—in this case, yours—can be quite creative. We had already done a lot of homework from previous tests, but new systems are added and new attack vectors emerge. Thank you for pointing this out and for the exciting two weeks!
The project collaboration with MindBytes GmbH was extremely positive and focused. The team was professional, committed and creative. The pentest analyses were clear and meaningful. We will be very happy to come back to MindBytes GmbH for further needs.
In principle, I’d always felt the need to have a pentest done. However, I was never really comfortable with it, as I always pictured some kind of weirdos rummaging around in our system. Fortunately, I was able to change my mind. Nina and Simon, who worked with us on the project, were very accommodating, responded to our wishes and deadlines, and advised us on a sensible scope for the first test right from the early stages of the project.
The reports we reviewed together were very detailed. The solutions for each point were also presented at the same time. I also liked the graphical representation of the MindBytes score for impact and likelihood.
