We need functional QA as well as penetration testing. Do the alternatives cover both?

Most of the alternatives sell functional QA as well. Two of the eight candidates publish a narrow list of three or four services, all security work such as penetration testing, red teaming and attack surface management, the same specialization Berezha Security Group carries. The other six list between six and fifteen services, adding manual testing, test automation, API testing or mobile app testing alongside penetration testing and security testing. A buyer who needs one supplier for both kinds of work is choosing among those six.

Berezha Security Group publishes no case study. What do the alternatives put on record instead?

The published case studies cover two kinds of engagement. Some of them describe security work with a named scope: a penetration test across a stated number of applications, API services and public addresses, closing on a count of the issues it found. Others describe ordinary QA programmes and close on a coverage figure, a regression cycle time or a release cadence. Not every candidate publishes one either. Every figure inside a case study is the vendor's own published claim about its own project, recorded here with the source it was read from.

Berezha Security Group publishes no engagement model at all. Do the alternatives say how the work would be structured?

Every alternative publishes at least one engagement model. A dedicated team, staff augmentation and managed testing service each appear among the alternatives, and so do project work, a continuous testing programme, on-demand testing and crowdtesting, seven different models between the eight profiles. One profile names a single model and the rest name two or three. Managed testing service, defined in this catalog as the vendor owning the test process and reporting against agreed service levels, is the one that appears most often. The subject's own field is empty, so nothing on record says which shape its work would take.

Founding era and headquarters geography

Berezha Security Group was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine. The eight candidates on this page span a wider range: the oldest was founded in 1989, 25 years before Berezha Security Group, and the youngest was founded in 2019, five years after it. Headquarters cluster in four countries: the United States accounts for four of the eight, Poland for two, and the United Kingdom and Ireland for one each. None of the eight candidates is headquartered in Ukraine.

Security service overlap and framework disclosure

Berezha Security Group's service list runs to Penetration testing, Security testing, Secure code review and Red teaming. Among the eight candidates, one also offers both Secure code review and Red teaming alongside Penetration testing, the same three-service combination. The remaining seven offer Penetration testing or Security testing without that specific pair. On test automation frameworks, Berezha Security Group's own profile names none. Three of the eight candidates name at least one framework: the widest list on this page runs to eight named frameworks, and two other candidates name six and five. The other five candidates, like Berezha Security Group, name none.

Engagement models and the minimum project size

Berezha Security Group's profile carries no published engagement model. All eight candidates publish at least one: the counts run from a single model up to three, and four of the eight publish three each. On minimum project size, Berezha Security Group publishes a $5,000 floor. Two candidates publish that same $5,000 figure. One candidate publishes a lower floor of $1,000, the smallest on this page, and one publishes $75,000, the highest. Three of the eight candidates publish no minimum project size at all.

Client stages and named clients

Berezha Security Group's profile carries no published client stage. Four of the eight name at least one: two of those four publish the same pair, Startups and Enterprises, one publishes Enterprises and Scaleups, and one publishes Enterprises alone. The other four, like Berezha Security Group, publish none. Berezha Security Group itself names three clients: Auditi, Unifonic and Demio. Seven of the eight candidates name at least one client of their own, two of them naming five each, the most on this page. Two candidates name three each, matching Berezha Security Group's own count. One candidate names none.

Applicability conditions beyond Nearshore for the EU

Nearshore for the EU is the only applicability tag on Berezha Security Group's own profile, and all eight candidates share it. Beyond that shared tag, one candidate meets four further conditions, the widest spread on this page: Automation first, Security focus, Embedded team model and Device lab coverage. Two candidates each meet three further conditions of their own, one combining Automation first, Security focus and Nearshore for the USA, and the other combining Embedded team model, Automation first and Security focus. Four candidates each meet exactly one further condition: two of them share Crowdtesting at scale, one carries Security focus alone, and one carries Embedded team model alone. One candidate meets no condition beyond the shared tag, the same single-tag position as Berezha Security Group itself.

The rule behind this list and the basis of its order are on the methodology page. Every fact about a company comes from a listed source. A field without a source stays empty. A certificate counts as confirmed only when a registry, certificate or auditor report backs it; a certificate the company only claims about itself is published separately, under that label. Vendors can request a correction at hello@qa-rating.com. A correction is applied when it comes with a public source.
