Trust portal

Check our work. Then check us.

Verify a DXCL certificate, see what our reports look like, and read exactly how we test. Everything an investor, buyer or auditor needs before trusting a certificate with our name on it.

Verify a certificate.

Type the ID printed on the certificate, or scan its QR code with your phone camera. You will see who it was issued to, what was tested, and whether it is still valid today.

Looks like DCL-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Spaces and lower case are fine.

No certificate to hand?

How the check works

The check runs in your browser. Each record is encrypted with its own certificate ID, so only someone holding the ID can read it, and we never publish a list of the companies we test. If a check fails, email [email protected] with the ID and a person will confirm it.

What a certificate means, and what it does not.

A certificate is a dated record of one engagement. It is useful because it is specific. Read it the way you would read an audit opinion: scope first, then dates.

It confirms

  • DXCL tested the systems listed in the scope, in the testing window shown.
  • Testing combined automated attacks with manual testing of every page and endpoint in scope.
  • Every finding was reported to the holder with its impact and a fix.
  • When the fix check is complete, the date it was done.
  • The date it stops counting as evidence: 3 to 6 months after the report, set per engagement.

It does not claim

  • That the system has no vulnerabilities. No honest test can promise that.
  • Anything about systems outside the listed scope.
  • Anything about changes shipped after the testing window.
  • To be a CERT-In audit certificate, an ISO 27001 certification or a SOC 2 report. It complements those; it does not replace them.
  1. Issued

    On the day we deliver the report.

  2. Fix check

    We confirm your fixes hold, and the record shows the date.

  3. Valid

    For 3 to 6 months, depending on what we found and how fast fixes can land.

  4. Expired or renewed

    When it lapses, a full retest renews it with a new ID.

  5. Revoked

    If a certificate is misused or the scope was misrepresented, we revoke it and the check says so.

See a report before you buy one.

Every engagement ends with two documents and a call. The sample shows both for a fictional company, with one finding written out in full.

Managerial report
For founders and leadership: overall risk in plain words, findings by severity, what to fix first and why it matters to the business.
Technical report
For your engineers: each finding with the affected endpoint, the request that proves it, the impact, a severity rating and the fix.
Walkthrough call
The testers who found each issue explain it live and answer your developers’ questions.
Fix check
Included. We re-test what you fixed and record the result before the certificate is final.

How we test.

Tools find the known patterns quickly. People find the logic flaws tools miss. We use both on every engagement, and our test plans follow public standards your auditors already recognise.

Web applications

OWASP Web Security Testing Guide (WSTG) and Application Security Verification Standard (ASVS).

APIs

OWASP API Security Top 10.

Mobile apps

OWASP Mobile Application Security Verification Standard (MASVS) and Testing Guide (MASTG).

AI and LLM systems

OWASP Top 10 for LLM Applications and MITRE ATLAS.

Network and cloud

NIST SP 800-115 and the Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES).

IoT devices

OWASP IoT Security Testing Guide (ISTG).

On request, we map findings to the controls your auditors ask about, such as ISO/IEC 27001 Annex A, SOC 2, PCI DSS and the reasonable security safeguards required by India’s DPDP Act.

How findings are rated.

Each finding gets a CVSS base score and a severity, then we adjust for what the issue means for your business. The report explains every adjustment.

Severity levels used in DXCL reports
SeverityWhat it usually meansTypical example
CriticalDirect path to sensitive data or full control, with little effort or skill.Unauthenticated access to every customer’s records.
HighSerious impact that needs some access or a specific condition.One logged-in customer can read another customer’s invoices.
MediumReal weakness with limited impact, or one that needs chaining with others.Missing rate limits that make password guessing practical.
LowSmall risk on its own; worth fixing in normal work.Detailed error messages that reveal software versions.
InformationalNo direct risk; a hardening step or good practice.Security headers that could be tighter.

Rules of engagement.

The commitments behind every test, written down before anything starts.

Written approval first.

We test only after you approve the scope, the environment and the testing window in writing. Nothing outside that scope is touched.

Certified people, named to you.

Every engagement is run by certified security testers. You meet them on the scoping call and talk to them directly throughout.

Your data stays yours.

We use what we see only to test and report. Findings go to the people you name, and we never share your results without your consent.

Found a vulnerability in DXCL?

We test other people’s systems for a living, so we expect ours to be tested too. Tell us and we will look into it.
