Penetration Testing
Advanced Penetration Testing By Certified Experts
Stay ahead of your attackers
Validate Security Controls & Identify Vulnerabilities
Identify network weaknesses within your IT infrastructure that may lead to data compromise in the same way that a cyber criminal would, through vulnerability and penetration testing. Validate internal/external security controls, including protections around high-value systems
Comply with Standards and Regulations
Industry standards and regulations, such as PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard), HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act), and ISO/IEC 27001, mandate regular penetration testing as part of their compliance requirements
Satisfy Requirements in Cyber Security Frameworks
Leading frameworks provide structured guidelines and best practices around penetration testing including:
- NIST
- ISO 27001
- COBIT
- CMMC
- OSSTMM
Comprehensive Approach
We approach each penetration test as unique to every organization by leveraging our proprietary tactics guided by top network security experts.
Both vulnerability and penetration tests are designed to demonstrate how an attacker would gain unauthorized access to your systems through vulnerable or compromised in-scope systems and highlight further opportunities from exposed hosts.
Based on these findings, we will provide a customized report including recommended course of action for both leadership and technical staff.

Our Testing Methodology
Key steps to systematically identify and address security vulnerabilities within an organization's systems, networks, and applications
1. Planning and Preparation
- Define the Scope: Determine the scope of the penetration test, including the systems, networks, and applications to be tested. This step involves discussions with stakeholders to understand the goals and boundaries of the test.
- Gather Information: Collect relevant information about the target environment, such as IP addresses, domain names, network topology, and software versions. This phase is also known as reconnaissance or footprinting.
2. Information Gathering
- Passive Reconnaissance: Gather information without directly interacting with the target systems. This can include searching public records, social media, and other publicly available sources.
- Active Reconnaissance: Interact with the target systems to collect information. This may involve techniques such as network scanning, port scanning, and enumeration to identify open ports, services, and potential entry points.
3. Vulnerability Assessment
- Identify Vulnerabilities: Use automated tools and manual techniques to identify vulnerabilities in the target systems. This can include scanning for outdated software, misconfigurations, weak passwords, and known vulnerabilities.
- Analyze Findings: Review the results of the vulnerability scans to determine which vulnerabilities are most likely to be exploitable and prioritize them based on their potential impact.
4. Exploitation
- Exploit Vulnerabilities: Attempt to exploit the identified vulnerabilities to gain unauthorized access to the target systems. This step simulates real-world attacks and can involve techniques such as SQL injection, cross-site scripting (XSS), buffer overflows, and password cracking.
- Gain Access: Once a vulnerability is successfully exploited, the tester tries to gain deeper access to the system, elevate privileges, and move laterally within the network to access sensitive data and critical systems
5. Reporting
- Gather Evidence: Collect evidence of the successful exploitation, including screenshots, logs, and data extracted from the target systems. This helps demonstrate the impact of the vulnerabilities
- Document Findings: Create a detailed report that includes an overview of the testing methodology, a summary of findings, and specific vulnerabilities identified. Each vulnerability should be accompanied by an explanation of its potential impact, the method used to exploit it, and evidence of exploitation.
- Provide Recommendations: Offer actionable recommendations for mitigating the identified vulnerabilities. This may include patching software, reconfiguring systems, improving password policies, and implementing additional security controls.
6. Review & Remediation
- Post-Test Review: Conduct a debriefing session with stakeholders to review the findings, discuss the impact of the vulnerabilities, and outline the remediation efforts.
- Fix Vulnerabilities: Work with the organization’s IT and security teams to address the identified vulnerabilities. This step involves implementing the recommended remediation measures and ensuring that they are effective in mitigating the risks.
- Retesting: Conduct follow-up testing to verify that the vulnerabilities have been successfully remediated and that no new issues have been introduced.
