Our Penetration Testing Process

Thorough Testing, Clear Results

The process starts with understanding your specific environment and concerns. What systems are most critical? What compliance requirements do you need to meet? What keeps you up at night?

Next comes the actual testing. Our ethical hackers use the same techniques real attackers would use, but safely and systematically. We test your network perimeter, internal systems, web applications, and wireless networks.

You receive a detailed report that explains exactly what was found, how serious each issue is, and specific steps to fix problems. No technical jargon that leaves you confused. Clear explanations that help you make informed decisions about your security investments.

Comprehensive Vulnerability Assessment

Complete Security Testing Coverage

Network penetration testing examines your firewalls, routers, servers, and internal systems. Web application testing focuses on your customer-facing applications and databases. Wireless testing checks for vulnerabilities in your WiFi and mobile device access.

Each test follows established industry frameworks but adapts to your specific technology stack. Whether you’re running modern cloud infrastructure or managing legacy manufacturing systems, our testing approach fits your environment.

You’ll understand not just what’s vulnerable, but why it matters to your business. Some vulnerabilities need immediate attention. Others can wait. Our reporting helps you prioritize based on actual risk to your operations.

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 environment. The actual testing phase typically runs three to five days, followed by analysis and report preparation. Larger networks or those requiring extensive web application testing may need additional time. You’ll get a clear timeline upfront based on what systems need testing and any compliance deadlines you’re working toward.
Penetration testing is designed to minimize business disruption while still providing thorough security assessment. Most testing happens during off-hours or low-activity periods when possible. Our testing team coordinates closely with your IT staff to avoid conflicts with critical business processes. However, some tests may intentionally stress systems to identify performance-related vulnerabilities, which is why timing and communication are carefully planned beforehand.
Vulnerability scanning uses automated tools to identify known security weaknesses, like missing patches or misconfigurations. Penetration testing goes much deeper by actually attempting to exploit vulnerabilities to see what an attacker could access. Think of vulnerability scanning as checking if your doors and windows are locked, while penetration testing actually tries to break in using various techniques. Both have value, but penetration testing provides a more realistic assessment of your actual security posture.
Security software like firewalls and antivirus are essential defensive tools, but they don’t tell you how effective your overall security posture really is. Penetration testing validates whether your security controls actually work against real attack techniques. It often reveals configuration issues, policy gaps, or human factors that automated security tools miss. Many businesses discover that their security investments aren’t providing the protection they expected until they undergo proper penetration testing.
Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, but the frequency depends on your risk profile and compliance requirements. Companies in regulated industries may need testing every six months or after significant infrastructure changes. High-risk environments or those handling sensitive data often test quarterly. The key is testing frequently enough to catch new vulnerabilities from system changes, software updates, or evolving attack techniques, but not so often that it becomes disruptive or redundant.
The report includes specific remediation steps prioritized by risk level, so you know what to fix first. Many clients schedule a follow-up consultation to discuss findings and develop an implementation plan. Some vulnerabilities can be addressed immediately, while others may require budget planning or vendor coordination. Retesting of critical vulnerabilities is often included to verify that fixes were implemented correctly. The goal is ensuring you have a clear path forward, not just a list of problems.
