ReelCiety Penetration Testing & Red-Team Disclosure Statement
This Penetration Testing & Red-Team Disclosure Statement outlines how ReelCiety and its parent company, Nexa-Group, conduct authorized security testing, adversarial simulations, and controlled attack exercises to proactively identify, assess, and mitigate risks across infrastructure, applications, and organizational processes.
1. Purpose & Security Philosophy
ReelCiety operates at scale in a hostile digital environment where threats evolve continuously. To protect users, creators, partners, and corporate assets, Nexa-Group employs a layered security strategy that includes proactive offensive security testing.
Penetration testing and red-team exercises simulate real-world attack scenarios to identify weaknesses before malicious actors can exploit them. These activities form a critical component of our enterprise security governance framework.
2. Scope of Testing
Authorized testing may include, but is not limited to:
- Web and mobile application security
- APIs, authentication, and authorization layers
- Cloud infrastructure and network segmentation
- Data storage, encryption, and access controls
- Account recovery and identity workflows
- Internal tools and administrative interfaces
- Operational processes and human factors
3. Penetration Testing Program
Penetration tests are conducted regularly by:
- Internal security teams
- Approved third-party security firms
- Specialized compliance and audit partners
Testing methodologies may include black-box, gray-box, and white-box assessments depending on risk profile, regulatory requirements, and system criticality.
4. Red-Team Operations
Red-team exercises simulate advanced persistent threats (APTs) and sophisticated attackers. These engagements are designed to test not only technical defenses, but also detection, response, and decision-making processes.
Red-team activities may assess:
- Incident detection and alerting effectiveness
- Cross-team communication and escalation
- Access control enforcement
- Resilience to social engineering attempts
- Containment and recovery capabilities
5. Authorization & Control
All penetration testing and red-team activities are explicitly authorized by Nexa-Group leadership and executed under strict legal, ethical, and operational controls.
Unauthorized testing, scanning, or probing of ReelCiety systems by external parties is strictly prohibited and may result in legal action.
6. Safety & Non-Disruption Principles
Testing activities are designed to minimize impact on users and platform availability. Production systems are protected through:
- Defined testing windows
- Controlled payloads
- Real-time monitoring
- Immediate abort procedures
7. Data Protection During Testing
Penetration testing must never intentionally access, copy, or exfiltrate user data beyond what is strictly required to demonstrate risk. All test artifacts are handled under strict confidentiality and data-minimization principles.
8. Findings, Reporting & Remediation
Identified issues are documented, prioritized, and tracked through Nexa-Group’s secure risk management systems. Each finding includes:
- Severity and impact assessment
- Exploitability analysis
- Recommended remediation steps
- Verification and closure tracking
9. Integration with Compliance & Risk Programs
Results from penetration tests and red-team exercises inform:
- Enterprise risk assessments
- Regulatory compliance programs
- Security architecture decisions
- Training and awareness initiatives
10. External Disclosure & Transparency
Specific details of testing activities are confidential. High-level summaries may be disclosed in transparency or compliance reports where legally required, without exposing sensitive security details.
11. Prohibited Activities
The following actions are strictly prohibited without written authorization:
- Independent penetration testing
- Network scanning
- Social engineering of staff
- Automated exploitation attempts
- Denial-of-service simulations
12. Legal Protections & Liability
Nexa-Group reserves all legal rights to pursue action against unauthorized testing or misuse. Participation in approved testing does not grant ownership of findings or systems.
13. Program Evolution
Penetration testing and red-team programs are continuously refined to reflect evolving threat landscapes, regulatory expectations, and platform growth.
