Penetration Testing

Autonomous, expert-reviewed security testing that finds what attackers find — before they do. Malachi covers your full attack surface: network infrastructure, cloud environments, web applications, and custom APIs, with first findings delivered within 24 hours.

What’s covered

Infrastructure & Network

Port scanning, service enumeration, CVE identification, TLS/SSL analysis, and exposed remote access services across your entire IP footprint.

Cloud Environments

S3, Azure Blob, and GCP storage exposure checks; IAM role and permission analysis; Kubernetes configurations and container registry access.

Web Application & API Security

Full OWASP Top 10 coverage plus deeper business logic testing: IDOR, JWT weaknesses, mass assignment, rate limiting, and undocumented admin endpoints.

Autonomous Discovery

Subdomain enumeration, passive DNS mapping, and endpoint crawling surface assets you may not know are publicly reachable — forgotten staging servers, shadow IT, and exposed integrations.

Expert-Reviewed Reports

Every finding reviewed by a qualified analyst. CVSS scores, business-impact assessments, and prioritised remediation steps — not a raw dump of alerts. Separate technical and executive-summary versions included.

Compliance-Ready Documentation

Reports structured to satisfy POPIA, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, and cyber-insurance auditors — documentation your board and insurers will accept without question.

The Platform

Malachi — Scrutinium, Vigilia, Prudentia

Malachi is SoftSol’s autonomous penetration testing platform. It brings enterprise-grade security testing within reach of every South African business.

Security is not a product — it is a discipline. Malachi was built on the conviction that every organisation deserves the same relentless scrutiny that sophisticated attackers apply daily. It does not merely scan: it investigates, combining autonomous tooling with human expertise to surface what automated platforms miss and deliver clarity where others deliver noise.

Scrutinium

Thorough investigation of every attack surface — infrastructure, cloud, web applications, APIs, and business logic — leaving no layer unexamined.

Vigilia

Managed continuous and scheduled scanning — Malachi handles the cadence, alerting, and reporting so your team receives actionable intelligence without running any infrastructure.

Prudentia

Expert wisdom applied to every finding — eliminating false positives, prioritising by real-world risk, and delivering remediation your team can execute immediately.

  • First report delivered within 24 hours of engagement
  • Over 6,500 vulnerability templates covering current CVEs and novel attack patterns
  • All engagements conducted under a signed scope-of-work with explicit authorisation
  • Direct access to the engineers running the platform — no ticket queues, no offshore centres
