Apply for a free pentest pilot from Excession Labs: a small written scope, real testing under written authorization, and every finding with evidence and a fix.

> **Short answer:** The pilot is a small, real penetration test at no cost. We agree a narrow written scope, such as one critical user flow or a group of API endpoints, test it under written authorization, and give you every finding in that scope with evidence and fix guidance. Places are limited and reviewed by hand.

## What the pilot includes

A short call to agree what matters most in your application
A narrow written scope: for example sign-up and login, one critical workflow, or a set of API endpoints
Written authorization signed by the system owner before any testing
Testing with test-owned accounts and data, under agreed limits
Every finding in scope with evidence, reproduction steps and a fix
Controls that held, and limitations of the pilot scope

## Who it is for

The pilot fits a team with a real application, in production or in a matching staging environment. Someone on the team must be able to authorize testing, usually the CTO, founder or head of engineering. If a hosting provider or a customer owns part of the system, they may need to agree too. The team should also have a use for the result, such as a customer security review, an audit, a launch or a round of fixes.

The pilot does not cover systems you do not own, tests of a third party, networks or physical security.

## Questions

### Is the pilot really free?

Yes. You receive the full findings for the agreed scope, with evidence and fixes. There is no paywall on the results. Wider scope or later work is a separate, optional proposal.

### Why do you offer it?

A sample report shows our format. Your own application shows our judgment. The pilot lets you compare our work with what you have seen before, on a scope small enough to do well.

### What is out of scope for a pilot?

Anything outside the written scope, usually networks and cloud accounts, social engineering, denial-of-service testing and any system you cannot authorize. AI assistants and agents are assessed through [airedteamingservices.com](https://airedteamingservices.com/).

### How do you choose pilots?

We look for a real application, a person who can authorize testing, and a clear use for the result. We reply to every application.
