Know Your Real Security Posture

You’re running a business, not a cybersecurity lab. But every day, your systems face potential threats that could compromise customer data, disrupt operations, or trigger compliance violations.

Penetration testing gives you the complete picture. Instead of wondering whether your defenses actually work, you get a thorough assessment that identifies real vulnerabilities across your network, applications, and systems.

The result is straightforward: you know exactly what needs attention, how urgent each issue is, and what steps to take. No guesswork, no false sense of security, just clear insight into where you stand and how to improve your security posture before problems become breaches.

Our Penetration Testing Process

Thorough Testing, Clear Results

We start with a detailed discussion about your systems, business requirements, and any compliance needs. This helps us design testing that focuses on your actual environment and concerns, not a generic checklist.

The testing phase involves systematic attempts to identify vulnerabilities across your network infrastructure, web applications, and other digital assets. We use the same techniques that real attackers would use, but with your permission and careful controls to avoid disrupting your operations.

Throughout the process, we document everything we find and test. You receive a comprehensive report that explains each vulnerability, its potential impact, and specific steps to address it. We also walk through the findings with you, ensuring you understand the priorities and have a clear path forward for improving your security posture.

What Our Testing Includes

Our penetration testing covers network infrastructure, web applications, and wireless systems. We test for common vulnerabilities like unpatched software, weak authentication, and configuration issues that attackers typically exploit.

You get detailed documentation suitable for compliance requirements, insurance purposes, or internal security planning. The reports include executive summaries for leadership and technical details for your IT team or vendors.

We also provide remediation guidance that prioritizes fixes based on risk level and business impact. Many Crawfordsville businesses appreciate that we can recommend local resources or vendors when additional expertise is needed to implement security improvements.

How long does penetration testing take for a typical business?

Most small to medium businesses can expect penetration testing to take one to two weeks from start to finish. The actual testing phase usually runs three to five days, depending on the scope of your systems and applications. We schedule testing during times that minimize impact on your operations, often conducting much of the work outside normal business hours. The timeline also includes time for report preparation and a walkthrough session where we explain the findings and recommendations in detail.
We design our testing approach to minimize operational disruption. Before starting, we discuss your business schedule, critical systems, and any timing constraints. Most of our testing methods are passive or use techniques that don’t interfere with normal system function. When we do need to perform tests that could potentially impact operations, we coordinate timing with your team and have safeguards in place. Our goal is to assess your security thoroughly while keeping your business running smoothly.
Vulnerability scanning is automated and identifies potential security issues, but it can’t determine if those issues are actually exploitable in your specific environment. Penetration testing goes further by manually testing whether vulnerabilities can be exploited and what an attacker could actually accomplish. Think of vulnerability scanning as getting a list of possible problems, while penetration testing tells you which problems are real threats and how serious they are. For compliance and genuine security insight, penetration testing provides the depth and validation that scanning alone cannot deliver.
Security software like firewalls and antivirus provides important protection, but it doesn’t tell you about configuration weaknesses, unpatched systems, or how an attacker might combine multiple small issues into a successful breach. Penetration testing evaluates your entire security posture, including how well your existing security tools actually perform under real-world attack scenarios. Many businesses discover that their security investments are working well in some areas but leaving gaps in others that only comprehensive testing can reveal.
Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, though some industries or compliance requirements call for more frequent assessments. You should also consider testing after major system changes, new application deployments, or significant infrastructure updates. The key is maintaining current knowledge of your security posture as your technology environment evolves. For many Crawfordsville businesses, annual testing strikes the right balance between staying informed about security risks and managing testing costs effectively.
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 the issue, its potential impact, and any urgent steps you should take. For less critical findings, everything is documented in the comprehensive report with clear prioritization based on risk level. We also provide specific remediation guidance and can recommend next steps or local resources to help address the issues. Our goal is ensuring you have actionable information, not just a list of problems.
