PENETRATION TESTING AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
You want to secure your business effectively, but you first need to identify where its vulnerabilities are. This is where Penetration testing and Vulnerability Assessments come in. Want to find out more?
PEN-TESTING, PEN-TESTING, ONE, TWO, THREE
It's important to keep testing your business' vulnerabilities because cybercrime is ever-evolving. But what's this about testing pens?
From imposters in Hi-Vis to in-depth analysis of your network and firewalls, our specialists are here to help you gain a complete understanding of your estate and how secure it is. The vulnerabilities we identify will mean you’ll be able to strengthen the gaps in your network defences before cybercriminals can access your business, protecting you from disruption, exploitation, and losing integrity.
There are a few different ways we can accomplish this, whether it be through the full-scale, holistic analysis of Penetration Testing (otherwise known as ‘pen-testing’), or a health check in the form of a Vulnerability Assessment. The information and data these tests gather will help us understand how to make your organisation more secure.
IS PENETRATION TESTING OR A VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT RIGHT FOR YOUR BUSINESS?
TEST YOUR ORGANISATION AT EVERY LEVEL
PENETRATION TESTING
When was the last time you questioned whether a worker in Hi-Vis was authorised to be in a certain area? What about someone you didn’t recognise with a company lanyard? Penetration testing takes the assumptions you and your teams make about security and tests how far this allows them to access your business.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ON PENETRATION TESTING AND VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENTS
What is penetration testing, and how does it differ from a vulnerability assessment?
A PEN-TEST SPOTS VULNERABILITIES, BUT IT ISN'T THE SAME AS A VULNERABILITY ASSESSMENT
Penetration testing, often referred to as pen-testing, is a simulated cyberattack on a system, network, or application to identify and exploit vulnerabilities. Vulnerability assessments, on the other hand, involve identifying, classifying, and prioritising vulnerabilities without actively exploiting them.
Why is penetration testing and assessing vulnerabilities essential for my business's security?
IS YOUR SECURITY REALLY AS GOOD AS YOU THINK IT IS?
Penetration testing helps uncover potential weaknesses in your security measures by simulating real-world attacks. Vulnerability assessments can also analytically reveal gaps in your security. This allows you to proactively identify and address vulnerabilities before malicious actors can exploit them, enhancing your overall security posture.
How can penetration testing benefit my organisation's cybersecurity strategy?
DON'T WAIT FOR CYBERCRIMINALS TO COME KNOCKING BEFORE YOU LOCK THE DOOR
Penetration testing provides a proactive approach to security by uncovering vulnerabilities that might be overlooked. It helps in understanding potential risks, improving security controls, and ensuring that your organisation is well-prepared against cyber threats.

Do the pen-tests and assessments only look at web applications, or can they cover other aspects of my infrastructure?
PENTESTERS WILL ATTEMPT TO ACCESS YOUR BUSINESS IN A NUMBER OF WAYS, SUCH AS WITH A RED TEAM ASSESSMENT
Penetration testing and vulnerability assessments can assess various aspects of your digital infrastructure, including web applications, networks, systems, and cloud environments. Pen-tests also apply to your physical security, such as your guards, lanyards, and social engineering with pentesters attempting to access your business from all angles. They can also test your entire network with simulated attacks, known as red-teaming.
With this comprehensive approach, we're able to ensure that all potential entry points are thoroughly examined.
What type of organisations can benefit from vulnerability assessments and penetration testing?
AS CYBERCRIME IS EVOLVING, BUSINESSES MUST MONITOR AND EVOLVE THEIR SECURITY TO KEEP UP
Penetration testing is valuable for businesses of all sizes and industries. Whether you operate in healthcare, finance, or any other sector, a pen test helps identify and mitigate potential vulnerabilities that could be exploited by cyber threats.
How often should penetration testing be conducted?
AS CYBERCRIME IS EVOLVING, BUSINESSES MUST MONITOR AND EVOLVE THEIR SECURITY TO KEEP UP
The frequency of penetration testing depends on factors such as changes in your IT environment, regulatory requirements, and the nature of your business. We would recommend regular testing, at least annually or after significant changes, to ensure ongoing reliable security.
Is penetration testing compliant with industry regulations and standards?
WE HAVE OUR OWN BUSINESS PEN-TESTED TO TEST OUR SECURITY, AND WE HAVE A CYBER ESSENTIALS PLUS AND A HOST OF ISO ACCREDITATIONS TO SHOW FOR IT
Yes, penetration testing is often a requirement for compliance with industry regulations such as PCI DSS, DPA, and others. Regular testing helps organisations meet and maintain these standards, demonstrating a commitment to data security and privacy.

Can vulnerability assessments and penetration testing help prevent data breaches?
DATA BREACHES ARE YOUR PARTNERS' AND CUSTOMERS' WORST NIGHTMARE, SO DO SECURITY TESTS PREVENT THEM?
Absolutely. By identifying and addressing vulnerabilities before they can be exploited, penetration testing plays a crucial role in preventing data breaches. It helps you safeguard sensitive information and maintain the trust of your customers and partners.
