Penetration Testing

Find your weaknesses
before attackers do.

We evaluate your IT security by safely exploiting real vulnerabilities — in your network, your applications, and your people. Then we sit down and walk you through exactly what we found and how to fix it.

What We Test

Every angle of attack,
covered

Vulnerabilities exist in operating systems, services, applications, configurations, and — most often — in human behaviour. We test them all.

External Network Testing

We attack your perimeter from the outside — the same way a real threat actor would. Firewall rules, exposed services, VPN configurations, DNS, email gateways, and anything internet-facing gets probed for weaknesses.

Internal Network Testing

What happens once someone is inside? We test lateral movement, privilege escalation, Active Directory weaknesses, network segmentation, and how far an attacker could get from a single compromised workstation.

Web Application Testing

Your customer portals, internal apps, and APIs are attack surfaces. We test for injection flaws, authentication bypasses, session management issues, and data exposure — aligned to the OWASP Top 10.

Social Engineering

Your people are your biggest attack surface. We run targeted phishing campaigns, pretexting calls, and physical access tests to measure how your team responds to real-world social engineering tactics.

Egress Testing

Can an insider or compromised machine exfiltrate data? We test data loss prevention controls, outbound filtering, DNS tunnelling, encrypted channel abuse, and removable media policies to find out.

Cloud & Hybrid Testing

Azure, AWS, Microsoft 365 — cloud misconfigurations are the fastest-growing attack vector. We test IAM policies, storage permissions, tenant isolation, and the integration points between your cloud and on-prem environments.

Our Process

Structured, transparent,
no surprises

Every engagement follows a clear process so you know exactly what's happening, when, and what to expect in the report.

1

Scoping

We define what's in scope, rules of engagement, testing windows, and success criteria. You know exactly what we'll test and what we won't.

2

Reconnaissance

Passive and active information gathering — mapping your attack surface the same way an adversary would before launching an attack.

3

Exploitation

Controlled exploitation of identified vulnerabilities. We prove impact without causing damage — demonstrating exactly what an attacker could achieve.

4

Reporting

Detailed report with every finding, severity rating, evidence, and specific remediation steps. Executive summary for leadership, technical detail for your IT team.

5

Walkthrough

We sit down with your team and walk through every finding. No jargon dumps — we explain what we found, why it matters, and exactly how to fix it.

6

Retest

After remediation, we retest critical and high-severity findings to verify they're properly fixed. You get a clean validation report for your records.

What You Get

A complete
game plan

A pen test without actionable remediation is just a list of problems. We don't just find vulnerabilities — we tell you exactly how to fix them, prioritized by risk and effort.

Ingress findings — every way we got into your network from outside, with proof of exploitation
Egress findings — how data could be extracted by an insider or compromised device
Prioritized remediation — each finding rated by severity (Critical/High/Medium/Low) with step-by-step fix instructions
Executive summary — board-ready overview of your risk posture, suitable for leadership and cyber insurance carriers
Compliance evidence — documentation suitable for IATF 16949, TISAX, SOC 2, ISO 27001, and cyber insurance requirements

Why It Matters

Vulnerability scans aren't
penetration tests

VULNERABILITY SCAN

Automated tool runs a checklist
Finds known CVEs and misconfigurations
Can't chain vulnerabilities together
High false positive rate
Doesn't test human factors

PENETRATION TEST

Human testers think like attackers
Proves real-world exploitability
Chains low-risk issues into critical paths
Zero false positives — every finding is verified
Tests social engineering and physical access
FAQ

Common questions

Will a pen test disrupt our operations?
No. We design every engagement to avoid operational impact. Testing windows are agreed in advance, and we use controlled techniques that prove exploitability without causing damage. We carry professional liability insurance and sign NDAs before every engagement.
How long does a penetration test take?
Typically 1 to 3 weeks depending on scope. A focused external test might take 5 business days. A comprehensive internal + external + social engineering engagement runs 2 to 3 weeks. Reports are delivered within a week of testing completion.
How often should we do a pen test?
At minimum annually, or after significant infrastructure changes (cloud migration, new application launch, network redesign). Many compliance frameworks require annual testing. If you're in a high-risk industry like automotive or financial services, semi-annual is recommended.
Do you provide remediation or just findings?
Both. Every finding includes specific, actionable remediation steps. And because we're also a managed IT provider, we can implement the fixes for you — not just point out the problems. Retesting of critical and high findings is included at no additional cost.
Is this useful for cyber insurance?
Absolutely. Many cyber insurance carriers now require or incentivize regular penetration testing. Our reports are formatted to satisfy insurance audit requirements and can help reduce your premiums by demonstrating proactive security management.
