Find out how an attacker would get in, before one tries
A penetration test is a controlled, authorized attempt to break into your systems. We perform or coordinate testing scoped to your business and deliver a clear report of what was found and how to fix it.
You can't fix what you haven't found
Security settings look fine on paper until someone tries to get around them.
Hidden weaknesses
Small configuration mistakes can combine into a real path into your network.
Requirements from others
Insurers, clients, and regulations increasingly ask for proof that your security has been tested.
False confidence
Having security tools in place doesn't confirm they're set up to stop a determined attacker.
Testing with clear boundaries and clear results
Every test is planned with you, authorized in writing, and focused on findings you can act on.
Scoping and authorization
We agree in writing on what will be tested, when, and how, before any testing begins.
External testing
We test what attackers can reach from the internet, like remote access, websites, and email systems.
Internal testing
We test what an attacker could do after getting inside, such as reaching sensitive files or admin accounts.
Prioritized findings
Each issue is ranked by risk and explained in plain language with recommended fixes.
Executive summary
A short overview for leadership explains what the results mean for the business.
Retesting
After fixes are in place, we confirm the issues have been closed.
A careful, controlled process
Testing is planned to avoid disruption to your business.
Scope
We define goals, systems, timing, and rules of engagement with you in writing.
Test
Authorized testing is performed or coordinated within the agreed boundaries.
Report
You receive findings ranked by risk, with clear steps to fix each one.
Retest
We verify that fixes worked and update the report.
Results that turn into real fixes
A report full of findings doesn't help if nobody acts on it. Because we manage IT and security, we can help you fix what the test uncovers.
Testing projects are quoted as a written estimate. You pay only for hours actually worked, and the estimate is a ceiling we won't exceed without your approval.

What's the difference between a penetration test and a vulnerability scan?
A vulnerability scan is an automated check for known weaknesses. A penetration test goes further, with a tester actively trying to use weaknesses to see how far an attacker could get.
Will testing disrupt our business?
Testing is scoped and scheduled with you in advance. We avoid disruptive techniques unless you approve them, and sensitive tests can be run after hours.
How often should we test?
Many businesses test once a year and after major changes, such as a new office network or a move to the cloud. Your insurer or industry requirements may set a schedule.
Who performs the testing?
We perform or coordinate testing depending on the scope. Either way, we manage the project, explain the results, and help you fix the findings.
