Penetration testing

Move beyond a vulnerability scan. Understand what can be exploited, how weaknesses connect, and where to focus your remediation.

What we do

Understand the paths an attacker could take.

A penetration test investigates the security of an agreed set of systems through controlled, hands-on testing. We validate findings, consider how weaknesses can combine, and translate the results into a practical remediation plan.

When this service fits

Before a significant launch, after infrastructure changes, or when you need independent assurance about systems you rely on.

Every engagement starts with a conversation about your environment, objectives, and constraints.

What we can assess

External infrastructure

Assess agreed internet-facing assets, exposed services, and the routes that could lead to unauthorised access.

Internal networks

Examine internal trust relationships, segmentation, access controls, and opportunities for lateral movement.

Identity & access

Evaluate authentication, privilege boundaries, and credential handling within the authorised environment.

Focused validation

Test a particular system, major change, or previously reported weakness against clearly defined objectives.

Your deliverables

Results your
teams can use.

We agree the deliverables before work begins. Our focus is clear evidence, realistic impact, and the next actions your teams need to take.

  • Executive summary that explains business exposure
  • Validated findings with evidence and severity rationale
  • Affected assets and reproducible technical details
  • Prioritised remediation recommendations
  • Results walkthrough and an agreed plan for retesting

Before we begin

Will testing affect our operations?

We agree testing windows, constraints, escalation contacts, and stop conditions before work begins. Production testing is planned carefully, and disruptive activity requires explicit agreement.

Is retesting included?

Retesting scope, timing, and commercial terms are agreed in the proposal. We can validate specific fixes and document any remaining exposure.
