Ensure your infrastructure is safe from unwelcome visitors

Uncover your vulnerable side

You may think your systems are secure. We’ll put it to the test. Our security practice has the people, expertise and methods to simulate a full-scale hack attack on your IT. If we can breach your infrastructure, then we can patch the weaknesses to make sure nobody else gets through.

Our methodology

Our penetration testing methods are based on the internationally-recognised Open Source Security Testing Methodology Manual and Open Web Application Security Project standards.

And for the very highest security levels, we can provide you with testing which complies with the Communications Electronic Security Group IT Health Check. Starting with just your web site address or an employee’s basic log in details, we will go through the following processes:

  • Network reconnaissance: building a picture of your organisation’s network, operating systems and services, which gives us an understanding of where your potential vulnerabilities may lie.
  • Penetration attempts: based on our reconnaissance, we will carry out a series of manual and automated attacks to probe every single area of potential weakness thoroughly and exhaustively.
  • Exploitation measurement: if we can breach your security then we will tell you exactly how and where, as well as alerting you to what data has been exposed and what other areas we may have been able to gain access to.
  • A dedicated hacker won’t throw up their arms and give up after a single attempt. Neither do we. So with us you can be assured your security has been tested to its absolute limits and we haven’t just gone through a box-ticking exercise.

    Reporting and recommendations

    We’ll start out by finding out how well you expect your security to work and tailor our reports to reflect the needs of your business. Our summary is detailed but non-technical, giving you an at-a-glance graphical overview of problems. Plus we’ll tell you how to solve them, of course.
