Our Penetration Testing Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we scope out exactly what you want tested – your network, web applications, or both. We schedule everything during your preferred hours to avoid disrupting normal business operations.

Next, we run the actual tests using the same tools and techniques that real attackers use. We probe for weaknesses in your systems, try to gain unauthorized access, and see how far we can get into your network.

Finally, you get a detailed report that explains every vulnerability we found in plain English. No technical jargon that leaves you confused. Each issue gets a risk rating and clear instructions for fixing it. We also provide a summary that you can share with your team or board members.

How long does a penetration test take to complete?

Most penetration tests take between one to three weeks, depending on the scope and size of your systems. The actual testing phase usually runs for several days, but we spend additional time analyzing results and preparing your detailed report. We work around your business hours to minimize any impact on daily operations. For smaller businesses in Fairmount, we can often complete the entire process within a week. Larger organizations with complex networks may need more time for comprehensive testing.
We design our testing approach to minimize disruption to your business. Most of our testing happens in the background without affecting your daily operations. When we need to test systems during business hours, we coordinate closely with your team and can pause testing if needed. We avoid any actions that could cause system crashes or data loss. Many of our Fairmount clients continue working normally while we conduct our security assessments. If we discover critical vulnerabilities during testing, we’ll alert you immediately rather than waiting for the final report.
Vulnerability scanning is like getting a list of unlocked doors, while penetration testing actually tries to walk through those doors to see what’s inside. Automated scanners can find known vulnerabilities quickly, but they miss the creative attack methods that real hackers use. Penetration testing combines automated tools with human expertise to discover complex security weaknesses. We test how vulnerabilities can be chained together for deeper system access. This hands-on approach reveals risks that simple scanning tools cannot detect, giving you a more realistic view of your actual security posture.
Penetration testing costs vary based on the scope and complexity of your systems, but most small businesses in Fairmount can expect to invest between $3,000 and $8,000 for comprehensive testing. This includes network testing, web application assessment, and detailed reporting. The cost is often much less than dealing with a single data breach, which can cost tens of thousands in downtime, recovery, and reputation damage. Many businesses also see reduced cyber insurance premiums after completing regular penetration testing. We provide detailed quotes based on your specific needs rather than one-size-fits-all pricing.
Antivirus and firewalls are important basic defenses, but they don’t catch everything. Modern cyberattacks often bypass these traditional security measures using sophisticated techniques. Penetration testing reveals gaps in your overall security strategy, including misconfigurations, unpatched systems, and social engineering vulnerabilities. Even well-maintained security tools can have blind spots that attackers exploit. Regular penetration testing ensures your layered security approach is actually working together effectively. Think of it as a comprehensive health checkup for your cybersecurity, not just checking if your security tools are running.
Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, but the frequency depends on your industry and risk profile. Healthcare and financial organizations may need testing every six months due to regulatory requirements. Companies that frequently update their systems or add new applications should test more often. After major infrastructure changes, network upgrades, or security incidents, additional testing helps ensure new vulnerabilities haven’t been introduced. Many Fairmount businesses schedule annual comprehensive tests with quarterly focused assessments on critical systems. We can help you determine the right testing schedule based on your specific risk factors and compliance requirements.
