Penetration Test
Penetration Test
We offer professional Penetration Testing Services that safeguard your organization’s sensitive data and digital assets. Our proactive approach identifies vulnerabilities, fortifies defenses, and enhances security posture.
With our certified ethical hackers simulating real-world scenarios, we assess networks, applications, and systems to uncover weaknesses and provide actionable recommendations for risk mitigation. Our services go beyond traditional security assessments, providing practical solutions that address real-world risks and offer peace of mind against evolving cyber threats.
Comprehensive Assessments
We comprehensively assess your IT environment, covering networks, servers, cloud environments, web and mobile applications, leaving no potential vulnerabilities undiscovered.
Carried out by Experts
Our experts assess vulnerabilities, considering their impact on your operations and data security. Following recognized guidelines like OWASP and PTES, we prioritize fixing critical issues for optimal protection.
Tailored Testing Approaches
Our testing methodologies are tailored to your business requirements, industry standards (e.g., PCI DSS), and compliance regulations, ensuring assessments align with your specific risk profile.
Real-World Scenarios
By simulating real-world cyber-attacks, including social engineering, phishing, and vulnerability exploitation, our ethical hackers provide insights into your organization’s resilience against actual threats.
Actionable Recommendations
Our reports detail identified vulnerabilities, explaining their impact and why they pose a risk. Alongside the penetration testing results, we offer practical recommendations to address these issues effectively.
Ongoing Support
Security is an ongoing process. Our commitment extends beyond testing, providing continuous support, clarifications, and emphasizing the importance of re-testing to check if vulnerabilities are remediated.
Different Types of Penetration Tests
External Penetration Test
Our penetration testers mimic real-world cyberattacks targeting your public-facing systems like websites, servers, and cloud environments. We actively test for vulnerabilities that could allow unauthorized access, data theft, or service disruption. By taking an attacker’s perspective, we help you strengthen your digital perimeter, protect sensitive assets, and reduce the risk of exploitation.
Internal Penetration Test
Our team conducts in-depth testing within your internal network to identify vulnerabilities from the perspective of a malicious insider or a compromised device. We evaluate misconfigurations, outdated software, and poor access controls that could lead to unauthorized access or data loss. This testing ensures your internal defenses are prepared for insider threats or malicious actors gaining unauthorized access to your internal network.
PCI DSS Penetration Test
We perform penetration tests specifically designed to meet PCI DSS compliance standards. Our testers focus on securing your cardholder data environment (CDE) by identifying vulnerabilities in payment systems, validating network segmentation, and uncovering risks in applications that handle payment card information. By testing against PCI DSS requirements, we help you secure transactions and avoid compliance penalties.
Mobile App Penetration Test
Our testers evaluate the security of your mobile applications across Android and iOS platforms. We examine authentication mechanisms, data storage practices, API communications, and potential vulnerabilities that could lead to unauthorized access or data exposure. Through this process, we ensure your mobile apps are safe for end users and resilient against evolving threats.
Whitebox Penetration Test
In our whitebox testing approach, we collaborate closely with your development team to review application source code for security vulnerabilities. After identifying potential issues in the code, we actively test the application to validate and address these risks. This combined method ensures comprehensive coverage and helps fix issues early in the software development lifecycle.
Red Teaming
Our red team simulates advanced, persistent threats targeting your organization’s people, processes, and technology. This includes phishing, social engineering, and physical intrusions, alongside technical attacks on your systems. We don’t just identify vulnerabilities but also test your ability to detect and respond to these attacks, providing actionable insights to improve your overall resilience.
Penetration Testing Process: Step-by-Step
1
Consultation and Proposal
We discuss your specific needs and identify which systems or applications should be tested. Based on this, we provide you with a tailored proposal outlining the scope and approach.
2
Kick-Off and Test Preparation
We define the prerequisites for the test and create a detailed plan tailored to your environment. Together, we ensure everything is in place for a smooth and effective testing process.
3
Pentest Execution
Our security experts simulate real-world cyberattacks on your systems to identify vulnerabilities. We conduct controlled testing to uncover weak points without impacting your operations.
4
Report and Results
You receive a comprehensive report detailing all identified vulnerabilities, their risks, and actionable recommendations to fix them. We’re happy to go over the results with you.
5
Re-Testing
After you’ve implemented the recommended fixes, we re-test your systems to confirm all vulnerabilities have been resolved. This ensures your IT infrastructure is fully secure and resilient.

The duration of a penetration test depends on the scope, complexity, and size of your environment. Smaller tests, like a basic external assessment, can take a few days, while more comprehensive tests, such as internal or red team exercises, may take several weeks. We’ll provide a clear timeline during the planning phase based on your specific requirements.
We recommend performing penetration tests at least annually or after significant changes to your systems, such as deploying new applications, infrastructure, or updates. Regular testing ensures your security posture keeps up with evolving threats and helps you stay compliant with industry standards.
A vulnerability scan is an automated process that identifies known vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications by scanning for outdated software, misconfigurations, or weak security controls. While it provides a broad overview of potential issues, it cannot detect complex vulnerabilities like business logic flaws or improper authorization mechanisms, which require manual testing to uncover.
A penetration test, on the other hand, involves skilled testers simulating real-world attacks to actively exploit vulnerabilities. This method not only validates the severity of issues identified by scans but also uncovers deeper risks, such as application-specific logic flaws or authorization bypasses, that automated tools cannot detect.
While penetration testing is designed to identify vulnerabilities without causing harm, there is a small risk of disrupting production environments. Tests like exploit execution or misconfiguration validation could inadvertently impact system performance, data integrity, or availability. For this reason, penetration tests are carefully planned and executed to minimize disruption.
Certain types of tests, such as Denial of Service (DoS) or stress testing, are typically excluded or conducted in non-production environments due to their potential to disrupt services. Whenever possible, penetration tests should be carried out in test environments that mirror production to reduce the risk of unintentional downtime. However, if testing in production is necessary, it should be closely coordinated with stakeholders, performed during low-traffic periods, and backed by thorough risk assessments and contingency plans.
If our testers identify critical vulnerabilities during the penetration test, we immediately notify your team to ensure quick action. Depending on the severity, we can pause the test and work with you to mitigate the issue. After the test, you’ll receive a detailed report with recommendations to address all identified vulnerabilities and improve your security posture.
Yes, penetration tests can be tailored to meet specific compliance requirements, such as PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, or ISO 27001. Our team ensures the testing scope aligns with regulatory needs and provides documentation to support your compliance efforts.
