Why binsec Uncovers Findings Others Miss

Why binsec Uncovers Findings Others Miss – The Secret Behind PTDocc

Many clients ask us why our penetration tests consistently uncover vulnerabilities that other providers have overlooked. The answer is no coincidence – it’s called PTDoc.

PTDoc is an internal tool developed by binsec systems GmbH and maintained within the binsec group. It was created during a key growth phase of our team: How can quality remain consistently high when the team grows and every tester has different personal focus areas? And how can we ensure that results are identical and reproducible – no matter which senior penetration tester performs the engagement?

The solution: a structured methodology that integrates well-established standards such as the OWASP Testing Guide, MASVS, and OSSTMM. PTDoc guides our testers step by step through each assessment – whether Active Directory, mobile apps, or networks. This creates a level of depth and completeness that ad-hoc checklists can never achieve.

But PTDoc goes beyond methodology: it covers all phases of documentation – from the execution itself to the creation of findings (including management summary, technical analysis, risk assessment with traffic-light rating or CVSS, and evidence management) all the way to the final report. Even retesting is seamlessly integrated: once a client has fixed a vulnerability, the tester documents the proof, and the report automatically updates to reflect the remediation.

The result:

• Testers can fully focus on their core work – finding vulnerabilities.
• Reports are fast and consistent – clients receive a professional PDF shortly after the engagement.
• Most importantly: We uncover vulnerabilities that other penetration tests missed.

As one client put it: “Since working with binsec, I don’t even consider the previous tests from other providers to have been real penetration tests.”
