Real Protection, Not False Security

You know your business data matters. Customer information, financial records, operational systems – losing any of it could shut you down for days or weeks. That’s exactly what penetration testing prevents.

Professional security testing finds the gaps hackers would exploit. You get a clear picture of where you’re vulnerable and exactly what to fix first. No technical jargon, no overwhelming reports – just straightforward answers about your security posture.

The result? You sleep better knowing your defenses actually work. Your customers trust you with their data. Compliance audits become routine instead of stressful. And if someone does try to break in, they hit walls instead of open doors.

Penetration Testing Process

Clear Process, Minimal Disruption

Our process starts with understanding your business and systems. What needs testing? When can it happen without disrupting operations? What compliance requirements matter? This planning phase ensures the testing delivers what you actually need.

During testing, our certified ethical hackers systematically probe your networks, applications, and systems. We use the same techniques real attackers would, but with careful controls to avoid damaging anything. Most testing happens outside business hours or during agreed maintenance windows.

After testing, you receive clear reports at both executive and technical levels. The executive summary explains what was found and what it means for your business. Technical details help your IT team understand exactly how to fix each issue. Follow-up calls ensure you understand the findings and have a clear remediation plan.

Comprehensive Security Assessment

Complete Testing, Clear Results

Network penetration testing examines your internal and external network infrastructure. This includes firewalls, routers, servers, and any system connected to your network. Our testing identifies configuration weaknesses, unpatched vulnerabilities, and access control gaps.

Web application testing focuses on your business applications and websites. Many companies invest heavily in network security but overlook application vulnerabilities. Our testing finds issues like injection flaws, authentication bypasses, and data exposure risks.

Vulnerability assessments provide comprehensive scanning and analysis of your entire environment. You receive prioritized findings based on actual risk to your business, not just technical severity scores. Our documentation supports compliance requirements and provides clear remediation guidance for your team.

How long does a penetration test take for a typical business?

Most small to medium businesses need 3-5 days for comprehensive testing. Network testing usually takes 1-2 days, web applications require 1-2 days depending on complexity, and reporting takes another day. Larger environments or multiple applications extend the timeline. The key is scheduling testing during maintenance windows or off-hours to minimize business impact. You’ll know the exact timeline after the initial scoping discussion based on your specific systems and requirements.
Professional penetration testing is designed to minimize disruption. Most testing happens outside business hours or during scheduled maintenance windows. Network scanning uses controlled techniques that won’t crash systems or slow performance. Application testing focuses on finding vulnerabilities without affecting normal user access. Any testing during business hours is coordinated with your team and uses non-disruptive methods. The goal is finding security issues, not creating operational problems.
Penetration testing supports multiple compliance frameworks including PCI-DSS for payment processing, HIPAA for healthcare data, and SOX for financial reporting. Many cyber insurance policies now require annual security testing. Our testing documentation provides evidence of due diligence for auditors and regulators. Reports include compliance mapping showing how findings relate to specific requirements. This makes audit preparation much easier and demonstrates your commitment to protecting sensitive data.
Penetration testing costs vary based on scope, complexity, and timeline requirements. Network testing for small businesses typically ranges from $3,000-$8,000. Web application testing starts around $2,000-$5,000 per application. Comprehensive assessments combining multiple test types offer better value than separate engagements. The investment is significantly less than the average cost of a data breach, which often exceeds $100,000 for small businesses. Detailed pricing comes after understanding your specific testing requirements and environment.
Serious vulnerabilities get immediate attention through secure communication channels. Critical findings that pose immediate risk are reported verbally within 24 hours, followed by written documentation. We provide clear remediation guidance and timeline recommendations based on risk level. Follow-up support helps ensure fixes are implemented correctly. Re-testing of critical vulnerabilities is often included to confirm remediation was successful. Our goal is helping you address issues quickly and effectively, not just documenting problems.
Minimal preparation is required from your team. You’ll need to provide network diagrams, application URLs, and any special access requirements. Backup verification is recommended before testing begins, though professional testing shouldn’t cause data loss. Your IT team should be available for questions during testing and coordinate any necessary access. Most preparation involves scheduling and communication rather than technical changes. We handle the complex technical setup while you focus on coordinating timing and access.
