Vulnerability found in production.Patched this session.

PM assigned in 10 minutes. Security engineer starts remediating within the hour. Most pen test findings SQL injection, XSS, insecure direct object reference, broken authentication, sensitive data exposure are fixable within a Starter or Full Day session. The engineer reads your pen test report, reproduces the vulnerability in your staging environment to confirm the finding, implements the fix (parameterised queries, output encoding, proper authorisation checks, secure cookie flags), and verifies the fix closes the vulnerability using the same attack vector the pen tester used. PM delivers a remediation report documenting what was fixed, how, and evidence that the vulnerability is closed formatted for your client or compliance auditor.

Yes. Remediation report is a standard deliverable for every security engagement. The report includes: vulnerability description in plain English (what it is, why it is dangerous, CVSS severity score), the specific code or configuration change made to close it, evidence the fix works (screenshot of the attack failing after the patch, or automated scanner output showing the vulnerability no longer present), and recommendations for preventing recurrence (code review checklist item, security test added to CI pipeline). The report is formatted for your audience a technical appendix for your engineering team and an executive summary for your client or board that explains business risk and resolution in non-technical language.

The OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities we remediate most frequently: A01 Broken Access Control adding proper authorisation checks so users can only access their own data; A02 Cryptographic Failures upgrading from MD5 or SHA1 password hashing to bcrypt or Argon2, enforcing HTTPS, and fixing hardcoded secrets in environment variables; A03 Injection replacing string concatenation with parameterised queries for SQL injection, and implementing context-aware output encoding for XSS; A05 Security Misconfiguration removing unnecessary API endpoints, setting secure HTTP headers (CSP, HSTS, X-Frame-Options), and disabling directory listing; A07 Identification and Authentication Failures implementing rate limiting on auth endpoints and fixing session management issues.

Yes. A security engineer in a Sprint Pack engagement (2 weeks) can close the most common SOC 2 Type II evidence gaps: access control evidence (documented IAM policies, access review procedures, role-based access control implementation with audit logs), change management evidence (branch protection rules, mandatory code review configuration in GitHub or GitLab, deployment approval workflow), encryption evidence (data-at-rest encryption confirmed in your database and storage configuration, TLS 1.2 or higher enforced on all endpoints), and logging and monitoring evidence (centralised log aggregation with appropriate retention, alerting on authentication failures and privilege escalation). PM delivers a gap-to-evidence mapping document for each SOC 2 control addressed.

Every QuickHire security engineer holds at least one recognised security credential CEH (Certified Ethical Hacker), OSCP (Offensive Security Certified Professional), or equivalent and passes a live penetration testing exercise on a deliberately vulnerable web application. The candidate must find and document at least three OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities within a time limit, then write a remediation recommendation for each. The written assessment covers: web application security testing methodology, network security fundamentals, cloud security configuration (AWS IAM, S3 bucket policies, security groups), and compliance frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA). Portfolio review focuses on real pen test reports and remediation projects with documented impact. Only the top 3% of applicants pass all stages.

QuickHire Instant is built for immediate engineering execution - book a vetted developer and dedicated PM in under 10 minutes, pay per session with no contracts. QuickHire Enterprise is for long-term team partnerships: dedicated developers, managed engineering pods, staff augmentation at scale, and enterprise-grade contracts (MSA, NDA, SLA) with a dedicated account manager. Both models use the same vetted talent network. Visit enterprise.quickhire.services to explore Enterprise engagements.
