Penetration testing find the gaps before someone else does.
A vulnerability scan tells you what might be exposed. A penetration test tells you what an attacker could actually do with it. We test your perimeter, internal network, and applications under a scope agreed in writing, then hand you findings ranked by real-world impact rather than raw scanner severity.
Testing is carried out by our own engineers rather than subcontracted, and every engagement ends with remediation support and a retest, so you finish with evidence the issues are actually closed. Testing is commonly required for PCI-DSS, and increasingly asked for in cyber insurance renewals and client security reviews.
How an engagement runs
Nothing is touched before the scope and rules of engagement are signed. You know what is being tested, when, and who to call if something needs to stop.
Scope & authorization
Targets, timing, and limits agreed and signed before any testing begins.
- Written rules of engagement
- Named contacts and escalation path
- Agreed testing window
- Out-of-scope systems documented
Discovery
Mapping what is actually reachable, which is often more than the documentation says.
- External footprint and exposed services
- Internal network and share enumeration
- Authentication surfaces
- Configuration and patch gaps
Testing & validation
Findings are proven rather than reported from a scanner, and anything high risk is raised immediately.
- Manual verification of each finding
- Chained attack paths where they exist
- Critical issues reported same day
- Non-disruptive by default
Report & retest
A report your team can act on and your auditor can read, then a retest of the fixes.
- Findings ranked by business impact
- Reproduction steps and evidence
- Prioritized remediation plan
- Retest to confirm closure
What we test
External / perimeter
What an attacker on the internet can reach and do without credentials.
- Exposed services and open ports
- VPN and remote access
- Firewall rule review
- Email and DNS security records
Internal network
What someone who is already inside could reach, whether an intruder or a compromised laptop.
- Lateral movement and privilege escalation
- Active Directory configuration
- Network segmentation validation
- Credential and share exposure
Web applications
Testing your public sites and portals against the common classes of application flaw.
- Authentication and session handling
- Access control and privilege boundaries
- Injection and input handling
- Business logic abuse
People & phishing
A controlled phishing simulation on the Barracuda platform, showing how staff actually respond. Run only with your approval.
- Barracuda phishing simulation
- Reporting and click-through rates
- Findings fed into awareness training
- No naming or blaming individuals
A test you can act on
The value of a penetration test is not the report length, it is whether anything gets fixed. Findings are written so an engineer can reproduce them and a director can understand the risk, prioritized so the work is achievable, and retested so closure is evidenced rather than assumed.
- Scope and authorization agreed in writing
- Delivered in-house, never subcontracted
- Every finding manually verified, not scanner output
- Critical issues escalated during testing, not held for the report
- Findings ranked by business impact
- Remediation support, not just a list
- Retest included to confirm fixes
- Plain-English executive summary alongside technical detail
- Evidence suitable for auditors and insurers
