Penetration Testing Process

Here's Exactly What We Do

First, we sit down with you to understand your business, your systems, and your biggest concerns. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all process—we need to know what matters most to your operation before we start poking around in your network.

Next comes the actual testing phase. We use the same tools and techniques that real hackers use, but obviously with your permission and your protection in mind. We’ll test your network security, web applications, and any other systems you want evaluated. This usually takes a few days to a week, depending on how complex your setup is.

Finally, you get a detailed report that breaks down everything we found. No technical mumbo-jumbo—just clear explanations of what’s vulnerable, how serious each issue is, and exactly what you need to do to fix it. We’ll also walk through the findings with you in person, answer your questions, and help you prioritize which fixes to tackle first.

What You Get With Our Testing

Our penetration testing covers all the entry points hackers typically target. We’ll examine your network infrastructure, test your web applications for common vulnerabilities, and check how well your employees handle social engineering attempts. If you’ve got wireless networks, cloud services, or mobile device policies, we can evaluate those too.

You’ll receive a comprehensive report that ranks every vulnerability we find by severity level. Critical issues get flagged for immediate attention, while lower-priority items get scheduled for future updates. We also include step-by-step remediation instructions, so your IT team knows exactly what to do—or we can help implement the fixes ourselves.

Many Clinton businesses use our testing results to satisfy compliance requirements for their industry or insurance company. We make sure our reports include all the documentation you need for audits, and we’re always available to explain our findings to your compliance officers or insurance representatives.

How long does penetration testing take for a typical business?

Most penetration tests take between three to five business days, depending on the size and complexity of your network. We schedule the testing during times that won’t disrupt your operations—many businesses prefer we work evenings or weekends. Simple setups with basic web applications might only need two days, while larger operations with multiple locations or complex systems could take up to two weeks. We’ll give you an accurate timeline after our initial consultation when we understand your specific environment.
We design our testing approach to minimize disruption to your business. Most of our testing happens in the background without affecting your day-to-day operations. When we do need to test systems during business hours, we coordinate closely with your team and can pause testing if critical business activities are happening. We never perform tests that could crash systems or delete data—our goal is to find vulnerabilities safely, not create problems for your business.
Security scans are automated tools that check for known vulnerabilities—they’re like running a virus scanner on your network. Penetration testing goes much deeper. We manually test your systems the same way a real hacker would, combining multiple vulnerabilities to see if we can actually break into your network. Scans might find individual problems, but penetration testing shows you if those problems can be exploited together to cause real damage. Think of scans as checking if your doors are locked, while penetration testing actually tries to break into your house.
Penetration testing costs vary based on what you need tested and how complex your systems are. For most small Clinton businesses, expect to invest between $3,000 to $8,000 for a comprehensive assessment. That might sound like a lot, but consider that the average data breach costs small businesses over $100,000 in downtime, recovery, and lost customers. We’ll provide a detailed quote after understanding your specific needs, and we can often work within your budget by focusing on your most critical systems first.
Antivirus and firewalls are essential, but they’re just the first layer of protection. Hackers have dozens of ways to get around these basic defenses, and new vulnerabilities appear constantly. Penetration testing finds the gaps that your existing security tools miss—things like misconfigured servers, weak passwords, unpatched software, or social engineering vulnerabilities. Even businesses with good security measures are often surprised by what we find during testing. Your current security is important, but testing shows you where it’s not enough.
Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, but the frequency depends on your industry and how much your technology changes. If you’re in healthcare, finance, or another heavily regulated industry, you might need testing twice a year. Businesses that frequently update their websites or add new systems should test more often. At minimum, you should test after any major system changes, before launching new web applications, and whenever compliance requirements demand it. We can help you develop a testing schedule that makes sense for your business and budget.
