We define the scope, identify potential threats, and set a tailored cyber security penetration testing plan.
02
Intelligence gathering
We gather information about the target through reconnaissance and enumeration to identify potential vulnerabilities.
03
Vulnerability analysis
We identify vulnerabilities by analysing configuration weaknesses, validating exposures, and benchmarking against industry standards (NIST CSF 2.0, OWASP Top 10).
04
Exploitation
We simulate real‑world attacks using the PTES methodology, including privilege escalation, to confirm which risks can be exploited in practice.
05
Impact assessment
We test data access and analyse potential impact to understand the real business consequences of successful attacks.
06
Reporting
We deliver a report following CREST standards, highlighting actionable findings and providing clear remediation guidance.

FAQ
How much does penetration testing cost?
The cost of cyber security penetration testing varies depending on the scope, complexity, and type of systems tested. Factors include the size of your infrastructure, the depth of testing, and whether you require specialised ethical hacking services.
What is the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan identifies potential weaknesses in systems automatically, while a penetration test involves ethical hacking services to actively exploit vulnerabilities and assess their real-world impact. Penetration testing provides a deeper, more practical insight into security risks.
How often should penetration testing be performed?
Penetration testing services should be performed at least once a year, or after significant changes to your systems, applications, or infrastructure. Regular cyber security penetration testing helps identify and address vulnerabilities before they can be exploited.
