Penetration testing will ensure that your IT systems, applications and information are secure.
Penetration testing is the process of attempting to gain access to computer systems, networks or applications without knowledge of usernames, passwords or any other normal means of access. Ultimately, to find vulnerabilities that a hacker could exploit.
The aim is to identify vulnerabilities, unpatched software, unsecure coding practices and weak encryption algorithms. All penetration tests are conducted by a Certified Ethical Penetration Tester (Up to CHECK technical competancy), who use their expertise to identify specific weaknesses within an organisation’s security. This involves simulating a malicious attack on an organisation’s information security arrangements, often using a combination of methods and tools.

- Websites can be infected by code injection, cross-site scripting and other similar black-hat hacking techniques.
- Your website traffic can be hijacked.
- Reduce security risk.
- Uncover lesser-known risks that automated tools are unable to detect
- Blacklisting by major search engines can cause you to lose business.

Our Approach
Scoping & Information gathering
We gather publicly available information using open source techniques and leading security exchanges to build intelligence to combat methods that could be used to compromise your business.
Application analysis
We conduct a full assessment of network infrastructure and applications to obtain a complete picture of the organisation.
Attack
We attack identified vulnerabilities to gain access to target systems and data. We attempt to compromise a privileged account holder, such as a network administrator.
Reporting and debrief
We provide a manually-written report that includes an executive summary and recommendations on how to effectively address identified risks and impacts.
