Penetration Testing Services
Simulate real-world attacks before they happen. Our certified ethical hackers conduct deep penetration tests to help you secure your systems, applications, and networks — with actionable remediation guidance.
What is Penetration Testing?
Ethical hacking that finds vulnerabilities before attackers do.
Penetration testing — also known as ethical hacking or pen testing — is a simulated cyberattack performed against your systems to evaluate their security. Unlike automated vulnerability scans, pentests involve skilled security professionals actively attempting to exploit weaknesses, just like a real attacker would.
The result is a comprehensive understanding of your actual security posture, with proof-of-concept exploits demonstrating real risk, prioritized findings, and clear remediation steps your team can follow.
Find Real Vulnerabilities
Discover exploitable weaknesses that automated scanners miss — including business logic flaws and chained attacks.
Validate Your Defenses
Test whether your security controls actually work under attack conditions — not just on paper.
Meet Compliance Requirements
Satisfy PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, and other frameworks that require regular penetration testing.

Our Penetration Testing Methodology
A structured approach based on industry standards.
Scoping & Recon
Define test boundaries, gather intelligence, and identify potential attack vectors through passive and active reconnaissance.
Exploitation
Attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to gain access, escalate privileges, and demonstrate real-world impact.
Report & Retest
Deliver detailed findings with proof-of-concept, prioritized risks, and remediation guidance. Free retesting included.
Testing Approaches
We offer flexible testing models based on your needs.
Black Box Testing
No prior knowledge. We attack your systems like a real external threat actor would — with zero inside information.
Best for: Realistic external threat simulation
Gray Box Testing
Partial knowledge. We test with limited credentials or documentation to simulate an insider threat or compromised account.
Best for: Comprehensive coverage with efficiency
White Box Testing
Full access. We review source code, architecture diagrams, and credentials to find the deepest vulnerabilities.
Best for: Maximum depth and code-level issues

Penetration Testing FAQ
Common questions about our pentest services.
How long does a pentest take?
Most engagements take 1-2 weeks for testing, plus a few days for reporting. Timeline depends on scope — a single web app is faster than a full network assessment.
Will pentesting disrupt our systems?
We coordinate testing windows and use safe exploitation techniques. Denial-of-service attacks are not performed unless specifically requested in a controlled environment.
How often should we pentest?
Annually at minimum, plus after significant changes (new features, infrastructure updates). High-risk environments may need quarterly testing.
What’s the difference vs. vulnerability scanning?
Vulnerability scanners automate detection. Pentests go deeper — we manually exploit vulnerabilities, chain attacks, and test business logic that scanners miss.
Do you offer retesting?
Yes, free retesting is included with every engagement. Once your team remediates findings, we verify the fixes at no additional cost.
What certifications do your pentesters hold?
Our team holds OSCP, CEH, GPEN, GWAPT, CRTP, and other industry certifications with real-world offensive security experience.
