Our Penetration Testing Process

Thorough Testing Without Business Disruption

We start by understanding your business, your systems, and your concerns. No cookie-cutter approach here. Every test is designed around your specific environment and risk profile.

During testing, we probe your networks, applications, and systems using the same methods hackers would use. But we do it carefully, documenting everything without causing damage or disruption to your operations.

You receive a detailed report that cuts through technical jargon. We explain what we found, why it matters to your business, and exactly what steps to take next. Priority rankings help you tackle the most critical issues first, and we’re available to guide your remediation efforts.

Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment Coverage

Complete Security Testing That Covers Everything

Our penetration testing covers your entire attack surface. Network infrastructure, web applications, wireless systems, and even social engineering vectors that could give attackers a foothold in your organization.

We test from both external and internal perspectives because threats come from multiple directions. External testing simulates internet-based attacks, while internal testing shows what happens if someone gets past your perimeter defenses.

Every test includes detailed documentation of vulnerabilities, proof-of-concept demonstrations where appropriate, and specific remediation guidance. You also get retesting services to verify that fixes actually work, because closing vulnerabilities properly is just as important as finding them.

How long does a penetration test take to complete?

Most penetration tests take between one to three weeks, depending on the scope and complexity of your systems. We work around your business schedule to minimize any potential impact. The actual testing phase typically involves a few days of active assessment, followed by analysis and report preparation. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront based on your specific environment, and we stick to our commitments because we understand you need to plan around the testing schedule.
Our testing is designed to be non-disruptive to your daily operations. We coordinate timing with your team and use techniques that don’t interfere with normal system performance. If there’s any risk of impact, we discuss it with you first and get approval before proceeding. Most clients find that their employees don’t even notice the testing is happening. We’re professionals who understand that your business can’t stop running just because we’re evaluating your security.
You receive a comprehensive report that includes an executive summary for leadership, detailed technical findings for your IT team, and prioritized remediation recommendations. Every vulnerability is explained in plain language with business impact assessment, not just technical jargon. We include proof-of-concept evidence where appropriate and specific steps to fix each issue. The report also provides risk ratings to help you prioritize your security investments and timeline for addressing different vulnerabilities.
Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, but the frequency depends on your industry, compliance requirements, and how quickly your environment changes. Companies in healthcare, finance, or those handling sensitive data often need more frequent testing. If you’re making significant system changes, adding new applications, or expanding your network, additional testing makes sense. We help you determine the right schedule based on your specific risk profile and regulatory requirements rather than pushing unnecessary services.
Yes, we provide guidance and support throughout the remediation process. While we don’t typically perform the actual fixes ourselves, we explain exactly what needs to be done and can recommend trusted local partners if you need additional technical support. We also offer retesting services to verify that vulnerabilities have been properly addressed. Our goal is making sure you actually improve your security posture, not just generating a report that sits on a shelf.
Automated scans are useful but limited. They find obvious vulnerabilities but miss the creative attack paths that real hackers use. Our penetration testing combines automated tools with human expertise and creativity. We think like attackers, chaining together multiple smaller issues to create significant security risks. We also test business logic flaws, social engineering vectors, and complex attack scenarios that automated tools simply can’t identify. You get the depth and insight that only comes from experienced security professionals who understand both technology and attacker psychology.
