STATUS: PILOT
[ Penthera ]
Pilot security assessment workflow for authorized external-surface review and structured reporting.
Staged Assessment Model
Penthera uses a staged workflow designed for clear authorization boundaries and predictable outputs.
| Phase | Allowed | Forbidden | Output |
|---|---|---|---|
| Discovery | External surface mapping and baseline signal collection | Intrusive actions | Prioritized observation set |
| Verification | Evidence validation and triage | Unscoped testing | Validated finding list |
| Validation | Controlled checks within approved scope | Destructive payloads or data tampering | Evidence-backed confirmation |
| Reporting | Remediation guidance and risk communication | Unsupported severity claims | Actionable report package |
Core Capabilities
Scoped Authorization Controls
Workflow gates enforce explicit scope checks before higher-risk validation steps are allowed.
Compliance-Aware Reporting
Findings are organized into clear severity, evidence, and remediation formats to support governance and audit needs.
Reference Architecture
- Intake Layer: authenticated request intake, scope metadata, and workflow state tracking.
- Orchestration: queued task execution for staged analysis and deterministic processing order.
- Evidence Store: structured findings, decision logs, and report artifacts.
- Report Layer: export-ready summaries with remediation priority and traceable evidence context.
Legal & Scope
Penthera is intended only for explicitly authorized environments. Usage must stay within approved scope, legal boundaries, and non-destructive testing policy.
