Penetration testing
Understand how an attacker could compromise your systems, with hands-on testing and validated findings.
Explore service: Penetration testingSecurity assessments
Understand where your security programme stands, identify material gaps, and build an improvement plan grounded in your organisation.
What we do
A clear picture of your security posture.
An assessment brings together technical checks, control reviews, and business context. We tailor the scope to the question you need answered, rather than treating every environment as the same checklist.
When this service fits
When you need a baseline, are planning security investment, or want an independent review of a specific area.
Every engagement starts with a conversation about your environment, objectives, and constraints.
What we can assess
Vulnerability assessment
Identify and review weaknesses in the agreed assets, with validation and prioritisation appropriate to the scope.
Control review
Examine selected safeguards, operating practices, and the evidence behind your security controls.
Attack surface review
Build a view of agreed internet-facing assets, their exposure, and areas requiring deeper investigation.
Security gap analysis
Compare current practices with agreed security objectives and identify practical improvements.

Before we begin
How is this different from penetration testing?
An assessment can cover broader posture and control questions. Penetration testing focuses on demonstrating exploitable weaknesses through authorised, hands-on testing. The right approach depends on your objectives.
Will the assessment certify compliance?
An assessment provides findings against the agreed scope. Certification, formal audit, and regulatory attestations are separate activities and require a specifically agreed engagement.
