Sleep Better Knowing Your Systems Are Secure

You’re running a business, not a cybersecurity company. But every day, hackers are probing your network, looking for that one weakness that gets them inside your systems.

Our penetration testing gives you the complete picture of your security posture. We think like attackers, test like hackers, but work for you. You’ll know exactly where your vulnerabilities are and how to fix them before the wrong people find them.

The result? Your customer data stays protected, your reputation remains intact, and you meet compliance requirements without the guesswork. No more wondering if your current security measures are actually working.

Our Penetration Testing Process

Straightforward Testing, Clear Results

We start with a detailed discussion about your systems, compliance requirements, and specific concerns. No two businesses are identical, so your testing approach shouldn’t be either.

Next, we conduct comprehensive vulnerability assessments using the same tools and techniques that real attackers use. We test your network security, web applications, and any other systems you specify. Everything is documented as we go, so nothing gets missed.

Finally, you receive a detailed report that explains what we found, how serious each vulnerability is, and exactly how to fix it. We don’t just hand you a technical document and disappear—we walk through the findings with you and help prioritize your remediation efforts based on your specific risk profile and budget.

Every Attack Vector Gets Tested

Your penetration test covers network infrastructure, web applications, wireless networks, and social engineering vulnerabilities. We don’t just run automated scans—our certified ethical hackers manually verify every finding and test for complex attack scenarios that automated tools miss.

You’ll receive detailed vulnerability reports with risk ratings, proof-of-concept demonstrations, and step-by-step remediation instructions. We also provide executive summaries that translate technical findings into business impact language your leadership team can understand.

Many Munster businesses use our testing to meet PCI-DSS, HIPAA, or other compliance requirements. We understand these frameworks and can structure our testing to address specific regulatory needs while providing maximum security value for your investment.

How long does a penetration test take to complete?

Most penetration tests take 1-3 weeks depending on the scope and complexity of your systems. We’ll give you an accurate timeline during our initial consultation based on what you need tested. Simple web application tests might be done in a few days, while comprehensive network and application testing for larger organizations typically takes 2-3 weeks. We work around your business schedule and can conduct testing during off-hours if needed to minimize any potential impact on your operations.

Will penetration testing disrupt our business operations?

Our testing is designed to minimize business disruption. We coordinate all activities with your IT team and can schedule testing during off-peak hours or maintenance windows if needed. Most of our testing methods are non-intrusive and won’t affect normal business operations. When we do need to test something that could potentially cause disruption, we discuss it with you first and get explicit approval before proceeding. Your business continuity is always our priority.

What's the difference between vulnerability scanning and penetration testing?

Vulnerability scanning is automated and identifies potential security issues, but it can’t determine if those issues are actually exploitable or how serious they really are. Penetration testing goes much deeper—we manually verify vulnerabilities, chain them together to simulate real attack scenarios, and determine what an actual attacker could accomplish. Think of vulnerability scanning as a security checklist, while penetration testing is like having a professional burglar test your locks, alarms, and security procedures to see what really works.

How often should we conduct penetration testing?

Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, but the frequency depends on your industry, compliance requirements, and how often your systems change. If you’re in healthcare or financial services, you might need testing twice per year. Companies that frequently update applications or network infrastructure should test more often. We also recommend testing after major system changes, new application deployments, or if you’ve had any security incidents. We’ll help you determine the right schedule based on your specific risk profile and budget.

What happens if you find serious vulnerabilities during testing?

If we discover critical vulnerabilities that pose immediate risk, we’ll contact you right away rather than waiting for the final report. We’ll explain what we found, how serious it is, and provide immediate recommendations to reduce your risk. Our goal is to help you stay secure, not to create unnecessary panic. We’ll work with your team to understand the findings and develop a practical remediation plan that fits your resources and timeline. You’ll never be left wondering what to do next.

Do you provide ongoing support after the penetration test is complete?

Absolutely. We don’t just deliver a report and disappear. We’ll walk through all findings with your team, help prioritize remediation efforts, and answer questions as you work through fixes. Many clients also schedule follow-up testing to verify that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed. We’re local to Munster, so ongoing support and consultation is easy to arrange. Think of us as an extension of your security team, available when you need expertise but without the overhead of hiring full-time security staff.
