Penetration testing uses controlled techniques to establish whether weaknesses can be exploited and what their business impact could be. It differs from automated scanning, which identifies potential issues, and vulnerability assessment, which validates and prioritizes exposure without necessarily demonstrating exploitation.
An engagement can cover web applications, APIs, internal and external networks, cloud configuration and access controls, authentication and authorization, and secure development validation. Coverage is selected against the assets and objectives agreed in writing. We do not test third-party infrastructure without permission from the party authorized to grant it.
What we focus on
- Web application and API testing
- Internal and external networks
- Cloud access controls
- Authentication and authorization
- Remediation retesting
Clear, useful deliverables.
The final scope determines the deliverables included in your engagement.
- Executive summary
- Risk-rated technical findings
- Reproducible evidence with sensitive data minimized
- Remediation guidance
- Retest results and closure status
A considered engagement process.
- 01Obtain written authorization and define scope
- 02Agree rules of engagement and testing windows
- 03Conduct controlled reconnaissance and testing
- 04Collect evidence and rate risk
- 05Report findings and recommendations
- 06Retest agreed remediations
Your questions, answered.
What will we agree before work begins?
We define objectives, assets and data involved, access requirements, deliverables, exclusions and acceptance criteria. Availability and the delivery team are confirmed before a written scope is agreed.
What can our team expect to receive?
The agreed deliverables can include executive summary, risk-rated technical findings, reproducible evidence with sensitive data minimized, remediation guidance, retest results and closure status. Recommendations identify priorities and next steps; implementation and follow-up are scoped separately unless included in the agreement.
How do we start?
Book an initial consultation to discuss penetration testing. The consultation clarifies needs and scope; it does not constitute a completed assessment, certification or implementation.
