What is penetration testing?
See your business through an attacker’s eyes
A penetration test, or pen test, is a controlled, authorised attack on your systems. Our testers look for weaknesses the way a real attacker would, then safely try to exploit them to show what could actually happen, from stolen data to a full network compromise.
Unlike an automated vulnerability scan, a pen test shows how individual weaknesses can be chained together, which risks really matter, and how to fix them. It is a common requirement for cyber insurance, client security questionnaires and certifications like ISO 27001.
Independently certified
We understand the importance of protecting data, and we set ourselves apart through our ISO 27001 certification and SMB1001 Gold (Level 3) certification with CyberCert. From safeguarding company data to client information, we’re dedicated to upholding the highest standards of information security.
What we test
Penetration testing services
Internal network testing
We simulate an attacker who is already inside, such as a compromised laptop or a malicious insider, to see how far they could get.
Web application testing
We test your websites, portals and web apps for flaws like weak authentication, injection and exposed data.
Wireless testing
We check your Wi-Fi for weak encryption, rogue access points and paths from guest networks into your business systems.
Phishing simulation
We test how your team responds to realistic phishing emails, and use the results to target security awareness training.
Retesting
Once fixes are in place, we retest to confirm each issue is resolved, so you have evidence for insurers, clients and auditors.
Our process
How a pen test works
Scope
We agree what is in scope, the type of testing, timing and rules of engagement, so testing is safe and controlled.
Test
Our in-house testers combine automated tools with manual techniques to find and safely exploit weaknesses.
Report
You get a clear report with an executive summary, each finding rated by risk, and practical steps to fix it.
Fix and retest
We walk you through the results, help remediate the issues, and retest to confirm they are closed.
