The penetration testing engagement with Trana Infosec successfully achieved all objectives defined in the Statement of Work (SOW) and demonstrated measurable improvements in InnDex’s security posture.

100% of High-Severity Vulnerabilities Fixed: All five high-severity findings from the initial test -including multiple IDOR flaws, file access exposure, and excessive error message disclosure - were fully remediated and verified as closed in the October 2025 retest.

Improved Security Baseline: Medium and low issues were reduced from five to two, both of which were formally accepted as managed business risks.

Operational Efficiency: The testing and remediation cycle - from kickoff to validated closure - was completed within the scheduled 8-week period, demonstrating strong coordination between InnDex’s engineering and security teams.

Key Deliverables:

• A comprehensive technical report with prioritized vulnerabilities, risk impact, and actionable remediation steps
• An executive summary tailored for leadership
• Raw findings in Excel for engineering integration
• Proof-of-concept evidence where applicable
• A dedicated Slack channel for direct collaboration and rapid response

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

Right before working with Trana, we did a pentest with a highly respected firm, and they found no vulnerabilities that actually mattered. Then we worked with Trana and they found multiple real vulnerabilities, some of them critical. They were super easy to work with and competent. We'll 100% be using them for our next pentest as well. If you want to actually concerned about security and want to find your holes, I highly recommend Trana.
