Penetration Testing
You can’t patch what you don’t know about. A vulnerability assessment gives you a complete, prioritised inventory of every known weakness across your infrastructure — so your team can fix what matters most, first.
About This Service
A systematic, comprehensive scan and manual review of your IT infrastructure to identify, classify, and prioritise security vulnerabilities — giving you a clear, actionable risk register.
The gap between your assumed security posture and your actual posture grows every time new software is deployed or a configuration changes. Without regular assessment, unpatched vulnerabilities accumulate — and attackers actively scan for exactly these gaps.
CVSS v3.1, NIST NVD, CIS Benchmarks
Typical Timeline: 3–7 days depending on scope
Report: Executive summary + full technical findings
Retest: Complimentary, included in every engagement
NDA: Signed before any technical discussion

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, systems, and environments to be assessed.
Run industry-standard vulnerability scanners across all in-scope systems.
Manually review scanner output to eliminate false positives and confirm real findings.
Classify all findings by CVSS score, exploitability, and business impact.
Deliver a clear vulnerability register with prioritised remediation guidance.
Verify critical and high vulnerabilities have been resolved.
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. Your developers and your board both get a report they can use.
We sign a formal NDA before any technical discussion begins. Your vulnerabilities, your architecture, and your engagement findings are treated with the same confidentiality as attorney-client communications. We have never disclosed client information.
Every engagement includes a complimentary retest once your team has addressed the findings. We verify that the vulnerabilities are genuinely closed — not surface-patched — and issue a formal retest certificate you can share with clients and auditors.
Every vulnerability scanner produces false positives. Our consultants manually review every finding before it goes in your report — confirming it is real, understanding its actual exploitability in your environment, and removing the noise that wastes your IT team’s time. You receive findings you can act on immediately.

FAQ
A vulnerability assessment identifies and prioritises weaknesses but does not actively exploit them. Penetration testing goes further — an expert attempts to exploit vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact. For organisations new to security testing, a vulnerability assessment is often a good starting point.
Best practice is quarterly assessments at minimum, with continuous monitoring for high-risk environments. Many compliance frameworks including PCI DSS and ISO 27001 require regular vulnerability assessments.
Yes. Our assessments cover on-premise infrastructure, cloud environments (AWS, Azure, GCP), and SaaS configurations.
You receive a prioritised vulnerability register with CVSS scores, descriptions of each finding, affected systems, and step-by-step remediation guidance.
