Security & Compliance

Penetration Testing

Authorised testing of applications, APIs, cloud environments and networks, with retesting included.

Overview

A penetration test answers a specific question: what could an attacker actually achieve against this system today? It is not a vulnerability scan with a nicer cover page, and its value lies in the exploitation chain rather than the raw finding count.

All testing is conducted under a signed authorisation with agreed scope, rules of engagement, testing windows and escalation contacts. Anything critical is reported immediately rather than held until the report is finished.

What you get

Findings that are proven

Each issue comes with reproduction steps and demonstrated impact, so nothing is dismissed as theoretical.

Ranked by real risk

Prioritised by exploitability and business consequence rather than by scanner severity alone.

Critical issues escalated

Anything genuinely dangerous is reported the moment it is confirmed, not weeks later.

Retesting included

Once you have remediated, we verify the fixes and issue an updated report you can share with customers.

How we work

  1. 01

    Authorise

    Scope, rules of engagement, testing windows, escalation contacts and written permission agreed before anything begins.

  2. 02

    Test

    Reconnaissance, manual testing and controlled exploitation within the agreed boundary, with activity logged throughout.

  3. 03

    Report

    A technical report with reproduction steps, plus an executive summary the board can read.

  4. 04

    Retest

    Remediated findings verified and the report reissued, suitable for customers and auditors.

Common questions

Do you need our permission in writing?

Always, and from someone authorised to give it for the systems in scope. We will not test third-party platforms without the platform owner’s consent as well.

Black box or white box?

White or grey box usually delivers more value per dollar — credentials and architecture detail let us spend the time finding real issues rather than on reconnaissance.

How often should we test?

Annually for most organisations, plus after any significant architectural change. Customer contracts sometimes set the frequency for you.

Vulnerability Assessment

Continuous scanning across infrastructure, containers and dependencies — with triage so the list stays actionable.
