Penetration testing

Find the holes before someone else does.

Expert penetration testing by senior security consultants — not automated scanners. We think like an attacker so you can defend like one.

Manual, methodical, and tailored to your environment.

Types of testing

Every engagement is scoped to your threat landscape. We cover the full spectrum of offensive security testing.

Infrastructure testing

Internal and external network testing, firewall bypass, privilege escalation, and lateral movement across your infrastructure.

Web application testing

OWASP Top 10, authentication flaws, injection vulnerabilities, session management, and API security testing.

Cloud security testing

Azure, AWS, and Microsoft 365 configuration review, IAM assessment, storage exposure, and privilege escalation paths.

Wireless penetration testing

Rogue access point detection, WPA/WPA2 attacks, SSID analysis, and wireless network segmentation review.

Social engineering

Phishing simulations, pretexting, vishing, and physical security assessments to test your human attack surface.

Red team exercises

Full-scope adversarial simulation combining digital and physical attack paths — testing your detection, response, and resilience.

Methodology

Our methodology

A rigorous, repeatable process grounded in industry standards — OWASP, PTES, and OSSTMM — adapted to your specific environment.

01

Scoping

We define targets, rules of engagement, and success criteria together. You know exactly what will be tested, when, and how — before anything begins.

02

Reconnaissance

Passive and active information gathering. We map your external footprint, identify entry points, and build an attack surface profile.

03

Exploitation

Manual and tool-assisted vulnerability exploitation by senior consultants. We chain vulnerabilities together — just as a real attacker would.

04

Post-exploitation

Lateral movement, data access, and persistence testing. We determine how far a compromised foothold can take an attacker inside your environment.

05

Reporting

Executive summary for leadership plus full technical detail — every finding risk-rated with CVSS scores, evidence, and clear remediation guidance.

06

Retest

We validate your fixes and confirm remediation. A full retest within 30 days is included in every engagement — no additional cost.

2026 adversary model

We test against the attacker who has AI tools

The reconnaissance and exploitation phases of every modern penetration test assume the adversary is using LLM-augmented tooling — automated recon scripts, AI-generated phishing pretexts, agent-assisted post-exploitation. Our methodology calibrates against that adversary, not a 2020 one.

Note: AI penetration testing as a service (red-teaming AI systems themselves) is not currently in our service catalogue.

Deliverables

What you get

Every penetration test delivers a complete package — not just a vulnerability list, but a clear path to resolution.

Executive summary

A concise, non-technical overview for board and leadership — risk posture, key findings, and strategic recommendations.

Technical findings with evidence

Every vulnerability documented with proof of exploitation, CVSS risk ratings, and step-by-step reproduction details.

Remediation roadmap

Prioritised by business impact, not just severity. A clear action plan your team — or ours — can execute immediately.

Retest within 30 days

Once you have applied fixes, we retest to validate remediation and confirm the vulnerabilities are resolved. Included at no extra cost.

Debrief with your consultant

A live walkthrough of findings with the senior consultant who ran your test — not a junior reading someone else's notes.

"An automated scan tells you what's wrong. A penetration test tells you what an attacker can actually do with it."
