Penetration Testing
Ransomware, lateral movement, and data exfiltration all start somewhere in your network. We find the exact paths an attacker would use — before they get the chance.
About This Service
Simulate real-world network attacks to identify misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and exploitable weaknesses across your internal and external network infrastructure.
Most network compromises exploit weaknesses that were never properly assessed — misconfigured services, unpatched devices, and insufficient segmentation that make lateral movement straightforward once an attacker has initial access.
NIST SP 800-115, PTES, CIS Controls
Typical Timeline: 3–7 days depending on network size
Report: Executive summary + full technical findings
Retest: Complimentary, included in every engagement
NDA: Signed before any technical discussion
Coverage: Internal + External perspectives
Deliverables
Non-technical overview of risk exposure and key findings for management
All findings with CVE references, CVSS scores, proof-of-concept evidence, and affected IP addresses
Complete inventory of vulnerabilities sorted by severity for easy prioritisation
Step-by-step fix instructions for each finding, written for your IT and network teams
Confirms all critical and high findings have been resolved after remediation
Scope
Comprehensive internal and external coverage of your network attack surface.
External network perimeter — firewalls, routers, exposed services
Internal network segmentation and VLAN boundaries
Open ports and vulnerable services
Default credentials and weak authentication
Unpatched operating systems and network devices
DNS and DHCP configuration issues
Network monitoring and detection gaps
VPN and remote access security
Process
Every engagement follows a defined, transparent process — no surprises, no hidden scope changes, and no invoice for work you did not agree to.
Define IP ranges, target systems, and testing windows.
Passive and active information gathering on exposed infrastructure.
Identify potential weaknesses and eliminate false positives.
Attempt to exploit confirmed vulnerabilities to assess real impact.
Assess what an attacker can reach once they have initial access.
Risk-rated findings with step-by-step remediation guidance, followed by a complimentary retest.
Why Us
Automated tools find known signatures. Our certified consultants find the chained attack paths, logic flaws, and context-specific vulnerabilities that no scanner will surface. Every finding we report is manually verified — zero false positives.
Every finding includes a proof-of-concept, a CVSS risk score, the affected system or endpoint, and step-by-step remediation guidance written for the team that has to fix it.
We test both how an attacker would breach your perimeter from the internet and how far they could move once inside. Most incidents involve lateral movement through internal networks that were never properly segmented. We check both sides.

FAQ
External testing simulates an attacker targeting your organisation from the internet. Internal testing simulates a threat actor who has already breached the perimeter — or a malicious insider. Both perspectives are important for a complete picture of your risk.
Yes. We assess firewall rule sets, router configurations, and network device management interfaces for weaknesses and misconfigurations.
We agree on testing windows in advance, avoid destructive techniques, and use careful rate-limiting on scanning activities to minimise impact on production systems.
