Our Services

Two complementary services.
One resilient web presence.

Whether you need to discover unseen vulnerabilities or lock the doors that are already there, Guardrootspace pairs offensive intelligence with disciplined defensive engineering.

Offensive Security

Web Application VAPT Audit

I simulate the tactics of real-world attackers to find security flaws before they can be exploited — beyond what scanners can ever see.

  • Deep Manual HackingHands-on testing of OWASP Top 10 — SQL Injection, XSS, broken authentication and more — far beyond automated scans.
  • Business Logic ReviewI analyze how your site processes data and workflows, surfacing structural flaws that tools cannot detect.
  • API & Endpoint MappingEvery hidden connection and entry point is located and tested to prevent unauthorized access and data leaks.
  • Clear Remediation ReportA comprehensive PDF outlining where the flaws live with step-by-step instructions on how to patch them.
Defensive Hardening

Website Security Hardening

A defensive lockdown — technical configurations applied across your infrastructure to seal entry points and raise the cost of every attack.

  • Platform-Specific LockdownHardening configurations purpose-built for your stack — WordPress, Shopify, cPanel, or static sites.
  • Server & File HardeningTight file permissions, blocked unauthorized code execution and disabled dangerous server functions.
  • Advanced Access ControlBrute-force protection, secured login paths and multi-factor authentication frameworks to stop password attacks.
  • Defensive Security HeadersBrowser-level protections — CSP, HSTS and X-Frame-Options — to block injection and clickjacking attempts.

Frequently Asked

Questions teams ask before
working with Guardrootspace

A VAPT audit is offensive — I attack your application like a real adversary to surface flaws and prove their impact. Hardening is defensive — I apply concrete configurations to your server, platform and headers so that those flaws are far harder to reach in the first place. Most clients benefit from both, in that order.
Scanners are used only to support reconnaissance. The actual vulnerability validation, business-logic review and exploitation are done manually. This is the only way to confirm real impact and to find issues that scanners physically cannot detect.
Most small-to-mid web applications complete in a focused testing window followed by hardening. Larger applications with many roles and APIs naturally take longer. After a short discovery call I share a clear scope and timeline before any work begins.
A clean, executive-friendly PDF report covering every finding, its risk rating, proof-of-concept and step-by-step remediation. For hardening engagements, you also receive the applied configurations, documentation and a verification check.
Testing is performed with safety in mind — non-destructive techniques are used by default, and any active exploitation is scheduled with you in advance. If a staging environment is available, that is the preferred target.
Yes. Every engagement starts with a mutual NDA. All evidence, credentials and findings are handled confidentially and securely deleted on request once the engagement ends.
WordPress, Shopify, custom PHP / Node / Python / Java backends, cPanel-hosted sites and static sites. If you are unsure whether your stack is in scope, just reach out and we will confirm quickly.
