Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Test
Find what attackers would find, before they do.
OSCP · CREST
NIST 800-115
A penetration test is a controlled, human-led attempt to break into your systems the way a real attacker would to find what is exploitable, prove it, and tell you how to fix it before someone else uses it against you. Manual-first. Certified operators. Every finding human-verified with reproducible proof.
Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Test
Simulated attack scenarios designed to uncover exploitable security weaknesses.
Systems
The Challenge
Most organisations only learn they have an exploitable gap after the fact.
Security is not a scanning problem, it is an exploitation problem. A vulnerability scanner will tell you what might be wrong, but it will never tell you that an outdated component, a misconfigured service account, and an over-permissive share combine into a path to domain administrator.
The controls that should prevent these chained failures are usually weaker, more fragmented, and harder to evidence than expected. The assumption that a clean scan means a secure environment is one of the most consistent gaps between documented security posture and operational reality.
Our penetration testing engagements replace assumption with evidence, giving your organisation a defensible answer to what an attacker can actually accomplish, starting from where they would actually start.
“Security you can stand behind,
not just describe.”
From “we run scans and trust the output” to tested, evidenced, and remediated.
Operator Certifications

Executive Report · Technical Report · Free Retest
Reproducible proof-of-exploit for every finding, a prioritised remediation roadmap, and a formal attestation letter once your fixes are confirmed.
What We Test
Eight testing types. Scoped to how attackers actually operate.
We scope each engagement to how an attacker would approach your environment and select the knowledge model (black-box, grey-box, or white-box) that best matches the threat we are simulating.
External Network Penetration Testing
Simulating an internet-based attacker with no prior access, perimeter services, VPN and remote access gateways, internet-facing applications, email infrastructure, DNS, and exposed cloud assets.
Internal Network Penetration Testing
Modelling the post-breach attacker, the malicious insider, or the compromised workstation, Active Directory, credential abuse, lateral movement, privilege escalation, and the reachability of business-critical systems.
Web Application Testing
Black-box and grey-box assessment aligned to OWASP Top 10 and ASVS, including authentication, session management, access control, SSRF, deserialisation, and the business-logic flaws automated tools cannot find.
Mobile Application Testing
iOS and Android assessment against OWASP MASVS and MSTG, static analysis, dynamic analysis, runtime manipulation, transport security, and platform-specific abuse patterns.
Cloud Security Assessment
Configuration review, IAM hardening, and cloud-native attack-path analysis across AWS, Azure, and GCP, including misconfigurations that expose data without triggering conventional alerts.
Wireless (WiFi) Penetration Testing
Encryption strength, 802.1X / Enterprise authentication, segmentation between guest and corporate networks, evil-twin and rogue-AP scenarios, and client-device security posture.
Red Team Operations
Objective-driven adversary simulation mapped to MITRE ATT&CK, designed to test detection and response capability, not only prevention. Simulates a persistent, motivated attacker pursuing a specific objective.
Social Engineering
Phishing, vishing, and physical intrusion assessments that measure the human layer of the defence, the vector that bypasses technical controls entirely when left untested.
Manual-First. Standards-Grounded.
Every finding is human-verified with a reproducible proof-of-exploit.
A real penetration test cannot be performed against scanner output alone. Our methodology is manual-first: every engagement is led by certified security professionals who validate vulnerabilities through controlled exploitation, attack-path analysis, and real-world testing methodologies that reflect how attackers actually operate.
Critical findings discovered during the engagement are escalated immediately and communicated directly, not delayed until final reporting. At the conclusion of the assessment, environments are returned to their original operational state, test accounts are removed, and temporary configurations are restored.
PCI DSS • ISO 27001 • SOC 2 • NIST CSF • DORA – Engagements designed to satisfy technical-testing requirements where compliance evidence is needed.
What You Gain
A defensible security posture, not just a list of vulnerabilities.
Penetration testing done properly closes the loop the way auditors and regulators expect to see it closed from tested exposure to evidenced remediation, with proof at every step.
Visibility
Evidence-based clarity on what an attacker can reach, exploit, and accomplish in your environment, not theoretical exposure from a scanner report.
Prioritisation
A remediation roadmap ranked by what actually reduces risk for your business, not by what scored highest on a generic CVSS scale in an isolated test environment.
Reporting for Both Audiences
An executive summary leadership can act on without translation, and a technical report engineers can remediate from without guesswork, including reproducible steps, evidence, and specific fix guidance.
Verified Remediation
A free remediation retest and a formal attestation letter once your fixes are confirmed, closing the loop the way auditors and regulators expect to see it done.
Compliance Evidence
Documentation aligned to PCI DSS, ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIST CSF, and DORA testing requirements, ready to present to auditors, customers, and regulators.
Confidence
A defensible position you can take to your board, your customers, your auditors, and your regulators, backed by what was tested, what was found, and what was fixed.
Complete the Picture
Combine penetration testing with our other security services.
Penetration testing proves resilience under real-world attack. IT Audit establishes the control baseline. Threat Modeling identifies what needs defending before it is exploited.
