PENETRATION TESTING
Our pen-testing experts will assist you in managing and mitigating cybersecurity risks. By safely simulating the latest threats and cyberattacks, we'll identify your weaknesses and help you understand your security vulnerabilities.
Why you should use penetration testing to protect your business
Penetration testing, also known as "pen testing" or ethical hacking, is a crucial component of any organization's cybersecurity strategy.
Unfortunately, no business is immune to cyberattacks.
Cybercriminals often exploit vulnerabilities like unpatched systems and software to bypass corporate defences.
Zero-day threats are particularly dangerous as hackers seek out new vulnerabilities to exploit. Regular assessments and penetration testing are essential for businesses to avoid these threats.
Our penetration testing services, developed by our top cybersecurity specialists, identify even the most minor security gaps so they can be addressed before exploitation. Our expert testers simulate real-world cybercriminal tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) in a safe and controlled manner, ensuring no damage to your systems. This comprehensive testing covers your devices, servers, hosts, and network services.
Penetration testing allows organizations to address specific vulnerabilities while gaining valuable insights to continually improve their cybersecurity strategy. It is a proactive measure extending beyond routine security checks, helping organizations avoid potential cyber threats.
What is pen testing?
Penetration or pen tests are intended to identify weaknesses in your IT systems that attackers could exploit.
While a vulnerability scan relies on automated tools to detect potential security issues, a penetration test is a dynamic process. It is conducted by a professional who ethically replicates the diverse tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) used by malicious cybercriminals to exploit vulnerabilities. This approach demonstrates the real-world impact of vulnerabilities. The role of the specialist penetration tester is crucial in exploring new and innovative methods of compromising a system, making full automation impossible. Through the proactive identification and remediation of security vulnerabilities, we empower you to take control of your security posture. This proactive approach effectively deters attackers and intruders, as it addresses potential security issues before they can be exploited.
Best Practices
Our Penetration Testing services ensure your security controls align with industry best practices. This proactive approach addresses common or publicly known vulnerabilities before testing, boosting confidence in your organization's security measures.
Cost-savings
Utilizing our Penetration Testing service allows you to prevent potential breaches before they happen, saving your organization the substantial costs of recovering from a data breach. Investing in proactive security measures now can significantly reduce financial risks in the future.
Compliance
Our service extends beyond simple testing; we analyze your current security policies and offer expert advice on areas for improvement to ensure full compliance with top security standards. This guarantees that your organization remains aligned with regulatory requirements and industry guidelines.
Expertise
Our specialist teams have an in-depth understanding of cybercriminal tactics, strategies, tools, and motivations. Their expertise allows them to proactively protect your IT infrastructure by addressing potential threats and vulnerabilities. This critical defence helps safeguard your organization’s sensitive data and assets.
Do I need pen testing?
As cyber threats evolve and become more frequent, frequent penetration testing is essential for any business’s cybersecurity strategy.
Organizations that adhere to standards like PCI DSS and ISO 27001 must conduct penetration tests annually. However, testing more frequently is advisable to mitigate risks associated with newly identified vulnerabilities and exploits.

Vulnerability Management & Exploitation
We identify and assess weaknesses and vulnerabilities across your IT infrastructure, including networks, applications, and systems. Our experts actively exploit these vulnerabilities to gauge potential damage or unauthorized access an attacker could achieve, assessing their impact and likelihood of exploitation. After successful testing, we conduct a thorough analysis to understand potential attacker actions, identify additional vulnerabilities exploited, and recommend remedial actions based on risk prioritization.
Risk Analysis & Reporting
Thorough and comprehensive reporting is crucial following simulated cyberattacks. Our team delivers detailed reports highlighting discovered vulnerabilities, assessing potential risks, and offering actionable recommendations to enhance your security posture. These clear insights enable a better understanding of your security environment, empowering strategic actions to strengthen cybersecurity continuously. This iterative approach ensures ongoing improvement of cybersecurity measures, reinforcing a resilient defence against evolving cyber threats.
Risk Analysis & Reporting
Compliance validation and social engineering testing are integral components of our penetration testing services, which enhance your cybersecurity strategy. Our compliance validation ensures adherence to industry regulations and standards, verifying security measures through rigorous examination of policies, procedures, and controls to align with established benchmarks. Meanwhile, our social engineering testing evaluates human vulnerabilities by simulating tactics like phishing and pretexting to assess employee awareness and training effectiveness. Integrating these features comprehensively evaluates your security posture, safeguarding against regulatory risks and bolstering defences against multifaceted cyber threats.
Other pen-testing methods
Upon completing the tests, you'll receive a comprehensive "post-testing report" detailing any identified security vulnerabilities that may be exploited and a list of recommended actions to enhance your cyber security posture.
- Application security testing, uncluding databases
- Simulating phishing attacks
- Multiple network password attacks
- VPN and remote access testing
- Wireless network security and Firewall configuration
- Web server security and infrastructure layer testing
- Portable device (smart phones and tablets) testing
