Sleep Better Knowing Your Data's Protected

You’re running a business, not a cybersecurity company. But every day, hackers are probing for weak spots in networks just like yours. They’re looking for easy targets – businesses that think their current security is “good enough.”

Penetration testing shows you exactly where those weak spots are before the bad guys find them. You get a clear picture of what needs fixing, what’s working well, and how to prioritize your security investments. No more guessing whether your firewall is actually protecting you or if that new software created a backdoor you don’t know about.

The result? You can focus on running your business instead of worrying about whether tomorrow’s the day you get hit. Your customers’ data stays safe, your reputation stays intact, and you sleep better at night knowing you’ve done your homework.

Our Penetration Testing Process

Straightforward Testing, Clear Results

First, we sit down and understand your business, your systems, and your concerns. No two companies are identical, so we tailor our approach to what matters most to you. We schedule testing during hours that won’t disrupt your operations.

During the actual penetration testing, we use the same techniques hackers use – but safely and ethically. We probe your network security, test your web applications, and look for vulnerabilities in your systems. You’ll know we’re testing, but your customers and daily operations won’t be affected.

After testing, you get a detailed report that makes sense. Not technical jargon, but clear explanations of what we found, how serious each issue is, and exactly what steps to take next. We’ll walk through everything with you and help you prioritize fixes based on your budget and timeline.

How long does penetration testing take for a typical small business?

Most small business penetration tests take 3-5 business days to complete, depending on the size of your network and number of applications we’re testing. We schedule the work during your preferred hours to minimize any impact on daily operations. The actual testing is just part of the timeline – we also spend time upfront understanding your systems and afterward preparing your detailed report. From start to finish, you can expect the entire process to take about 2 weeks, including our initial consultation and final report presentation.
Professional penetration testing should not cause downtime or disrupt your business operations. We use controlled, ethical testing methods designed to identify vulnerabilities without damaging systems or interrupting services. Before we begin, we work with you to understand your critical business hours and any systems that are particularly sensitive. We can schedule testing during off-hours if needed, though it’s typically not necessary. Our goal is to test your security defenses, not stress-test your patience or your operations.
A basic security scan is like checking if your doors are locked. Penetration testing is like having a professional locksmith actually try to get in using every technique they know. Automated scans can find obvious vulnerabilities, but they miss the complex attack chains that real hackers use. Penetration testing combines automated tools with human expertise to find vulnerabilities that scanners miss, test how different weaknesses can be combined, and determine what an attacker could actually accomplish if they got in. You get a realistic assessment of your security, not just a list of potential issues.
Penetration testing costs vary based on the size of your network, number of applications, and scope of testing needed. For most Knox area small businesses, expect to invest between $3,000 and $8,000 for comprehensive testing. This might seem significant, but consider that the average cost of a data breach for small businesses exceeds $100,000 when you factor in downtime, notification costs, legal fees, and lost customers. We provide detailed quotes upfront with no surprises, and we can work with you to prioritize the most critical testing if budget is a concern.
Antivirus and firewalls are important basic protections, but they’re not enough on their own. Think of them as locks on your front door – essential, but you still want to know if someone can get in through a window you forgot about. Penetration testing finds the gaps that traditional security tools miss, like misconfigured systems, weak passwords, unpatched software, or social engineering vulnerabilities. Many successful cyber attacks bypass antivirus and firewalls entirely by exploiting these other weaknesses. Testing shows you the complete picture of your security posture.
If we find serious vulnerabilities, we’ll alert you immediately rather than waiting for the final report. We provide clear guidance on which issues need immediate attention and which can be addressed over time. Our report includes step-by-step remediation instructions, and we’re available to help you implement fixes or work with your IT team. Finding vulnerabilities isn’t a failure – it’s exactly why you’re doing the testing. Better to discover and fix these issues in a controlled environment than to learn about them during an actual attack. We’ll help you prioritize repairs based on risk level and your available resources.
