Find the vulnerabilities before attackers do

Penetration testing simulates real-world attacks against your systems to identify exploitable weaknesses. Unlike automated scanning, skilled human testers chain weaknesses together, test business logic, and demonstrate the actual impact of a successful breach.

We test black-box (no prior knowledge — the truest simulation of an external attacker), grey-box (limited credentials — an insider or informed attacker), and white-box (full access — maximum coverage for compliance). Our methodology aligns with CREST, the OWASP Testing Guide, and PTES.

Every engagement ends with a CVSS-scored report your board, auditors, and insurers can rely on — and a free retest of critical findings after remediation.

Why Test Now

Common reasons businesses commission a pen test

Unknown Attack Surface

Systems grow organically and no one knows what an attacker could reach. External and internal testing maps your true exposure.

Compliance Requirement

ISO 27001, PCI DSS, SOC 2, and enterprise contracts mandate annual testing — our reports provide the required evidence artefact.

Pre-Launch Validation

A new application or infrastructure change is going live. Pre-launch testing finds critical vulnerabilities before real users — and real attackers — do.

Post-Breach Assurance

After an incident, stakeholders need proof that remediation worked and no residual access remains. A targeted retest validates the fix.

Supply Chain Assessment

Suppliers with access to your systems are part of your attack surface. We test supplier-facing interfaces and integration points.

Board Risk Reporting

Audit committees need evidence of security testing. Our executive summaries present risk-rated findings with clear business impact.

What We Test

Our penetration testing services

External Network Testing

Simulate an internet-based attacker against firewalls, VPNs, exposed services, and internet-facing applications.

Internal Network Testing

Lateral movement, privilege escalation, and Active Directory attack paths from an assumed-breach position.

Web Application Testing

OWASP Top 10 and beyond — injection, XSS, broken authentication, IDOR, and business logic flaws.

API Security Testing

REST and GraphQL APIs tested for authentication bypass, authorisation flaws, and excessive data exposure.

Social Engineering

Targeted phishing simulations and pretexting to measure and baseline your organisation's human risk.

Cloud Configuration Review

AWS, Azure, and GCP assessed for misconfiguration, overpermissive IAM, exposed storage, and insecure networking.
