Our Penetration Testing Process

Straightforward Process, Clear Results

We start with a conversation about your systems, your concerns, and what you’re trying to protect. This helps us design a testing approach that makes sense for your business and won’t disrupt your operations.

The actual testing involves our certified ethical hackers attempting to find vulnerabilities in your network, web applications, and other systems. We use the same techniques real attackers would use, but with your permission and with safeguards in place.

You get a detailed report that explains what we found in plain language, ranks issues by severity, and provides specific recommendations for fixing each problem. We also walk through the findings with your team to make sure everything makes sense and you know exactly what to do next.

What's Included in Your Assessment

Your penetration testing engagement covers network security, web application vulnerabilities, and wireless network assessments. We test both external-facing systems and internal network security to give you a complete picture.

You receive detailed documentation that works for both technical teams and executive presentations. The report includes executive summaries, technical findings, risk ratings, and step-by-step remediation guidance that your IT team can actually use.

We also provide a follow-up consultation to answer questions and help prioritize fixes based on your risk tolerance and budget. Many Bloomington businesses appreciate having local experts they can call when questions come up during the remediation process.

How long does a penetration test take to complete?

Most penetration tests take between one and three weeks, depending on the scope of your systems and the depth of testing required. We work with you to schedule the testing during times that minimize any potential impact on your operations. The actual hands-on testing might only take a few days, but we also need time for reconnaissance, analysis, and report preparation. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront so you know exactly what to expect and when you’ll receive your results.

Will penetration testing disrupt our business operations?

Professional penetration testing is designed to minimize disruption to your business. We coordinate with your team to understand critical business hours and processes, then plan our testing accordingly. Most of our reconnaissance and analysis work happens without any impact on your systems. When we do perform active testing, we use controlled techniques and can pause immediately if any issues arise. We also provide you with direct contact information so your team can reach us instantly if they notice anything unusual during the testing period.

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

Vulnerability scanning is automated and identifies potential security issues, while penetration testing involves skilled professionals actually attempting to exploit those vulnerabilities to see if they’re real threats. Think of vulnerability scanning as getting a list of possible problems, while penetration testing shows you which problems actually matter and how an attacker could use them. Penetration testing also tests your detection and response capabilities, showing you not just what vulnerabilities exist, but whether you’d notice if someone was exploiting them. Both have their place, but penetration testing gives you the real-world perspective you need.

How often should we have penetration testing performed?

Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, but the right frequency depends on your industry, compliance requirements, and how often your systems change. If you’re in healthcare or finance, you might need testing more frequently due to regulatory requirements. Companies that frequently update their applications or network infrastructure often test every six months. We recommend starting with a comprehensive baseline test, then determining ongoing frequency based on your risk profile, compliance needs, and budget. We can help you develop a testing schedule that makes sense for your specific situation.

What happens if you find serious vulnerabilities during testing?

If we discover critical vulnerabilities during testing, we’ll contact you immediately rather than waiting for the final report. We understand that some findings require immediate attention to protect your business. We’ll provide you with enough information to take protective action right away, then include the full technical details in your final report. Our goal is to help you stay secure, not to create unnecessary anxiety. We’ll work with your team to understand the urgency of each finding and help you prioritize your response based on actual risk to your business.

Do you provide help with fixing the issues you find?

Yes, we provide detailed remediation guidance for every vulnerability we identify, including specific steps your IT team can take to address each issue. We also offer follow-up consultations to answer questions and help prioritize fixes based on your risk tolerance and available resources. While we focus on testing rather than implementation, we can provide guidance and recommendations for addressing complex security issues. Many of our Bloomington clients appreciate having local experts they can contact when questions arise during the remediation process. We’re here to help you actually improve your security, not just point out problems.
