Penetration testing
Hands-on testing against real attack paths — not an automated scan with a cover page.
Who this is for
- Companies that need an annual or contractually-required penetration test
- Teams that have addressed known vulnerabilities and want to validate whether the fixes actually hold up
- Organizations preparing for a specific compliance deadline where a pen test report is required evidence
What this addresses
- A customer contract or compliance framework requires an annual penetration test and none is scheduled
- Known vulnerabilities have been remediated, but nobody has validated the fixes under real attack conditions
- There's no confidence in what a motivated attacker could actually achieve against the current environment
Our approach
Testing is scoped to the systems and attack surface that matter most — a specific application, network segment, or cloud environment — agreed upfront rather than an open-ended engagement.
We chain findings together the way a real attacker would, showing actual achievable impact rather than reporting each vulnerability in isolation.
The final report separates what needs to be fixed immediately from what's lower priority, with enough technical detail for engineering to act without back-and-forth.
Every engagement follows the same six-step methodology — see our approach.
What to expect
Scope, duration, and cost depend entirely on what's being tested — a single application looks very different from a full external network test. We agree on rules of engagement and scope before any testing begins.
Frequently asked
How is this different from vulnerability assessment?
Vulnerability assessment identifies and prioritizes known weaknesses; penetration testing actively exploits them to demonstrate real impact and validate whether defenses actually hold. Many frameworks expect both.
Will testing disrupt production systems?
Rules of engagement are agreed before testing starts specifically to manage this — including what's off-limits, testing windows, and how destructive testing (if any) is handled.
Do you provide a retest after fixes are made?
Retesting specific findings after remediation is a common and recommended follow-up, scoped separately from the initial test.
