Our Penetration Testing Process

Thorough Testing, Clear Results

We start by understanding your business and what you need to protect. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. We tailor our testing to your specific environment, compliance requirements, and business priorities.

The actual testing phase involves systematic probing of your networks, applications, and systems. We use the same techniques real attackers would use, but with your permission and with safeguards to protect your operations. You’ll know exactly what we’re doing and when.

After testing, you get a detailed report that makes sense. We explain what we found, why it matters, and what to do about it. The recommendations are prioritized so you can tackle the most critical issues first. We’re also available to walk through the findings and help you understand the next steps.

Comprehensive Security Assessment Coverage

Complete Picture of Your Security

Our penetration testing covers all the areas where attackers typically focus. Network penetration testing examines your perimeter defenses, internal network segmentation, and wireless security. Web application testing looks for vulnerabilities in your customer-facing and internal applications.

We also test your physical security controls and social engineering susceptibility when relevant. The goal is to give you a complete view of how an attacker might gain access to your systems and data.

Each test includes detailed documentation suitable for compliance audits, insurance requirements, or board presentations. You get technical details for your IT team and executive summaries for leadership. Everything is designed to help you make informed decisions about your security investments.

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. A basic network and web application test for a small business might be completed in a week, while comprehensive testing for larger organizations with multiple locations and complex applications can take several weeks. We’ll give you a clear timeline upfront based on your specific needs. The actual testing phase is typically just a few days – most of the time goes into planning, analysis, and report preparation.
We design our testing to minimize business disruption. Before starting, we work with you to understand your critical systems, peak business hours, and any scheduled maintenance windows. Most of our testing can be performed during normal business hours without affecting your operations. When we do need to test critical systems, we coordinate timing with your team and use techniques that won’t cause outages. Our goal is to find vulnerabilities without creating the problems we’re trying to prevent.
Vulnerability scanning is automated and identifies potential security issues, like missing patches or misconfigurations. It’s like getting a list of possible problems. Penetration testing goes deeper – we manually verify those vulnerabilities and attempt to exploit them safely to see what an attacker could actually accomplish. Think of vulnerability scanning as identifying unlocked doors, while penetration testing involves actually walking through those doors to see what’s inside. Both are valuable, but penetration testing gives you a more realistic picture of your actual risk.
Most businesses benefit from annual penetration testing, but the right frequency depends on your industry, compliance requirements, and how quickly your environment changes. Healthcare and financial organizations often need testing more frequently due to regulatory requirements. If you’re making significant changes to your network or applications, it’s smart to test after major updates. We can help you determine the right schedule based on your specific situation and budget. The key is consistency – regular testing helps you track improvements and catch new vulnerabilities as they emerge.
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 what we found and provide immediate recommendations to reduce your exposure. This might involve temporarily blocking certain network access or taking specific systems offline until patches can be applied. We understand that some vulnerabilities can’t wait for a formal report process. Our goal is to help you stay secure throughout the testing process, not just at the end.
Yes, we provide detailed remediation guidance with every penetration test report. This includes specific steps to address each vulnerability, recommended patches or configuration changes, and priority levels to help you focus on the most critical issues first. While we don’t typically perform the actual remediation work ourselves, we can recommend trusted local partners or work with your existing IT team to ensure fixes are implemented correctly. We’re also available for follow-up calls to clarify recommendations and answer questions as you work through the remediation process.
