Pentest for Colleges and Universities
Offensive security in academic systems, online learning, research, digital library and teaching-hospital records.
Why now
The real pain
Higher-ed institutions hold data on thousands of students, confidential research, IP and — in some cases — teaching-hospital records. A breach hits financials, ProUni/FIES, the Ministry of Education and research partners.

Academic system (SIE)
Enrollment, transcripts, grade entry, FIES/ProUni integration.

Institutional repository, research data, private datasets.
Digital library

/methodology
Genuinely manual pentest
Automated scanners find what's documented. Real attackers find what isn't. 90% of the work is manual — performed by specialists holding OSCP, CISSP, CRTO and GPEN.
01 · Reconnaissance
Target mapping, OSINT, footprint, sector-specific threat modeling.
02 · Discovery
Deep enumeration, complementary scanning, manual exposure identification.
03 · Exploitation
Manual validation with controlled PoC, finding chaining, escalation.
04 · Report
Executive + technical, step-by-step replication, mapped to applicable regulation.
