IT Security
ServicesAssess · Harden · Monitor · Respond
Miracuves reviews the systems you already run, finds what an attacker would reach first, and fixes it in priority order. Engagements start with a written scope and an NDA, and end with a report your team can act on: findings ranked by real exploitability, the fix for each one, and what we changed ourselves. No retainer required to start, and no scan output dumped on you without interpretation.
What a security review actually produces
A Miracuves security engagement looks at the systems you are actually running: the applications, the servers behind them, the admin surfaces, the third-party integrations, and the accounts that can reach all of it. We work from a written scope agreed before payment, under NDA, against the environments you nominate. The output is a findings report, a fix for each finding, and a retest once you have remediated.
This is deliberately not a scanner run with the output forwarded to you. Automated tools are part of the work, but a report that ranks by CVSS score alone tells you nothing about which door is actually open. We rank by what is reachable in your specific setup, which regularly puts a forgotten staging login or an over-permissive API key above a headline CVE. Where a finding sits outside what we do, we say so rather than stretch: hardware forensics, legal response to an active breach, and formal certification audits are specialist work and we will point you to it. For build work see software development, and for ongoing engineering capacity see dedicated teams.
How findings get ordered
"The highest-scoring vulnerability is often not the one that gets you breached. We order findings by what an attacker reaches first from where they actually start, which is usually an exposed admin surface or a credential with more access than anyone remembers granting."

Every security engagement includes this - no add-on tiers
Written Scope Before Payment
What is in scope, what is explicitly out, and what access we need. Agreed in writing first, so nobody discovers a boundary mid-engagement.
NDA Before Any Access
A bilateral NDA is signed before we are given a credential, a repository, or a network diagram. Nothing is discussed in detail before that.
Findings Ranked by Exploitability
Not a raw scanner export sorted by CVSS. Findings are ordered by what an attacker actually reaches first in your setup, which is rarely the highest-scoring item.
A Fix for Every Finding
Each finding carries the specific remediation for your stack, not a link to a generic advisory. Where you want it, we apply the fix ourselves.
A Report Non-Engineers Can Read
One version for the people who will patch it and one for the people who have to approve the budget. Both describe the same findings.
Retest After You Remediate
We re-check the findings you fixed and confirm in writing what is closed. A review that never verifies the fix has not finished.
Miracuves vs a scanner, a big-four audit, and doing it in-house
Each of these is the right answer sometimes. A scanner is cheap and finds the obvious. A big-four audit produces the certificate a regulator or enterprise buyer asks for. In-house is best if you already employ the skill. Use this when someone asks why not just run a scan.
| Factor | Miracuves | Automated scanner | Big-four audit | In-house only |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Finds logic flaws | Tested by hand | Rarely | Usually | Depends on skill |
| Ranked by real reach | Yes, in your setup | Score order only | Yes | Varies |
| Fix supplied per finding | Yes, for your stack | Generic advisory link | Recommendations | You write it |
| Applies the fix | If you want us to | No | No | Yes |
| Retest after remediation | Included in scope | Re-run the scan | Usually chargeable | Yes |
| Produces a certificate | No | No | Yes | No |
| Best for | Finding and closing real gaps | Continuous cheap coverage | Regulatory sign-off | Ongoing hygiene |
What a Miracuves review actually covers
These are the areas we examine. Which of them are in scope for your engagement is agreed in writing first, along with what is explicitly excluded, so there is no argument later about whether something was meant to be covered.
What every engagement examines
Seven areas, each checked by hand rather than only by tool.
Scope Agreed
Systems, environments, and explicit exclusions written down before payment.
NDA Signed
Bilateral, before a single credential or diagram is shared.
Automated Sweep
Tools run first to clear the obvious and cheap ground quickly.
Manual Testing
A person tries the things scanners cannot: logic, roles, and chained steps.
Report Delivered
Findings, ranked, each with the fix for your stack, in two readable versions.
Retest
After you remediate, we verify and confirm in writing what is closed.
What a Miracuves security review runs on
Tools find the obvious. People find the rest.
Four ways to engage Miracuves on security
Pick the shape that matches what you actually need. Scope, systems in and out, access required and timeline are written into the engagement letter before payment, so nobody discovers a boundary halfway through.
Review
Security Review
A point-in-time assessment of the systems you nominate, with a ranked findings report and fixes.
Best for: A first look, or an annual check
Application
Application Testing
Focused manual testing of one application: auth, roles, business logic and the endpoints behind them.
Best for: Before a launch or a big release
Infrastructure
Cloud & Infrastructure
Accounts, permissions, network exposure, logging and backups across the cloud estate you run.
Best for: Cloud sprawl or an inherited estate
Hardening
Review Plus Fix
The review, then we apply the remediation ourselves alongside your team and retest it.
Best for: Small teams with no security staff
From signed NDA to a retested fix list
Nothing starts until scope and exclusions are agreed in writing and the NDA is signed. You always know which systems are being touched, when, and by whom.
Scope and NDA
You tell us what you run and what worries you. We write down the systems in scope, the ones explicitly excluded, the access required, and the testing window. Bilateral NDA signed before any credential, repository or diagram changes hands. If something you want falls outside what we do, we say so here rather than after payment.
Reconnaissance
We map what is actually reachable: domains, subdomains, open ports, admin surfaces, login pages, and the third parties wired into them. This routinely surfaces systems the team had forgotten were still running, which is often where the real risk sits.
Automated Sweep
Tooling runs first to clear cheap ground fast - known vulnerable versions, weak TLS, missing headers, exposed secrets, dependency advisories. Findings from this stage are verified by hand before they reach your report; scanner output on its own is not a deliverable.
Manual Testing
A person tests the things tools cannot judge: whether one user can read another user data, whether a role check is missing on an endpoint, whether steps can be chained into a path that matters. This is where most of the findings that would actually hurt you come from.
Report and Retest
You get findings ranked by real reachability, each with the specific fix for your stack, in a version engineers can action and a version a non-engineer can approve budget from. Once you remediate, we retest and confirm in writing what is closed and what is not.
What is agreed in writing first
Systems in and out of scope
Named environments and addresses, plus what is explicitly excluded. No assumption that anything reachable is fair game.
Access and testing window
Exactly what access we need and when testing runs, so your team is never surprised by traffic or a locked account.
What you receive
A ranked findings report, a fix per finding, and a retest after remediation. Agreed before payment, not described afterwards.
Other ways Miracuves can help - build, harden, or staff
Not sure staffing is the right model? Miracuves also ships complete products from 90+ clone bases and custom builds - same company, same NDA, same IP ownership. Many clients start with a dedicated practitioner, then expand into a squad or switch to a vertical clone deployment when scope clarifies. Every hire page links to published technology stacks, vertical clone deployments, and sibling engagement models so stakeholders compare staffing versus turnkey product delivery under one NDA counterparty.

What changes the scope
The number of applications and environments, how many distinct user roles exist, whether cloud infrastructure is included, and whether you want us to apply the fixes as well as find them.
What is never charged extra
The retest after you remediate is part of the engagement, not an add-on. So is the second version of the report written for people who are not engineers. A review that never verifies its own fixes has not finished.
Questions about IT security services from Miracuves
What do I actually receive at the end?
A findings report in two versions: one written for whoever will apply the fixes, with reproduction steps and the specific remediation for your stack, and one written so a non-engineer can understand the risk and approve the work. Plus a retest once you have remediated, confirming in writing what is closed.
Is this just a vulnerability scan?
No. Automated tooling runs first because it clears cheap ground quickly, but everything it reports is verified by hand before it reaches you, and the findings that usually matter most come from manual testing. A scanner cannot tell whether one customer can read another customer data; a person has to try it.
How are findings prioritised?
By what is actually reachable in your environment, not by score alone. A critical-rated flaw in a component nobody can route to matters less than a forgotten staging login with a weak password. We order the report the way an attacker would encounter it.
Will testing take our systems down?
The scope agreement names the environments, the testing window, and anything that must not be touched. Where a test carries real risk of disruption we either run it against staging or agree it with you explicitly first. Nothing destructive happens because we assumed it was fine.
Can you fix what you find, or only report it?
Either. Some clients want findings only and remediate in-house. Others want us to apply the fixes alongside their team, which is a separate scope agreed at the same time. If we do the remediation, a different engineer verifies it.
Do you provide a certificate we can show customers?
No, and you should be cautious of anyone who offers one casually. Formal certification against a standard is performed by accredited auditors. What we produce is a technical assessment and evidence of remediation, which is often what an enterprise buyer actually asks for, but it is not a certificate.
What access do you need?
It depends on the engagement type and is written into the scope. A black-box external test may need nothing but your permission. Application testing usually needs accounts at each role level. Cloud review needs read-only access to the relevant accounts. We ask for the least that lets us do the work.
What happens if you find something critical mid-engagement?
We stop and tell you the same day rather than saving it for the report. If something is being actively exploited, that becomes an incident and the priority is containment, which may mean pausing the assessment entirely.
How often should this be repeated?
Most teams run a review annually and after any significant architectural change - a new payment provider, a migration, a major release, or an acquisition. Between reviews, automated scanning and dependency alerts cover the routine ground far more cheaply than a person can.
Do you handle an active breach?
Incident response, legal notification and forensic preservation are specialist work with different obligations, and we will say so rather than improvise. If you are currently compromised, that is the engagement you need first. We can help with hardening and verification afterwards.
Ready to find out what is actually exposed?
Tell us what you run and what worries you. Miracuves comes back with a written scope: the systems in and out, the access needed, the testing window, and what you receive. You can walk away at that point owing nothing.
