PROTECT YOUR BUSINESS WITH CONTINUOUS CYBERSECURITY MONITORING

In today’s threat-filled digital landscape, securing your network is vital. Our Comprehensive Cybersecurity Package offers Monthly Penetration Testing, helping your business stay ahead of threats, remain compliant, and prevent costly breaches. It also ties in seamlessly with Cyber Essentials Plus and IASME Cyber Assurance Compliance.

Penetration testing is a key tool in ensuring the ongoing security of your systems. Independent security penetration testing provides robust assurance to your board, customers, and your data subjects that your systems are securely implemented and free from known vulnerabilities.

For Critical or high-risk systems for regulated industries, we recommend monthly testing – we can also provide through our delivery partners “Crest accredited” or CHECK where required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Penetration testing, or pen testing, involves a cyber-security expert attempting to find and exploit vulnerabilities in a computer system to determine its security.

Penetration testing goes beyond identifying vulnerabilities by attempting to exploit them to assess what actual damages could occur, unlike vulnerability assessments that mainly catalog potential vulnerabilities.

It helps identify exploitable security flaws from an attacker’s perspective, providing a realistic assessment of an organization’s defense capabilities.

Includes external, internal, blind, double-blind, and targeted testing, each serving different security objectives and perspectives.

The frequency depends on various factors including regulatory requirements, changes to infrastructure, the sensitivity of data, and the organization’s exposure to dynamic threats. Typically, annual testing is recommended, with more frequent testing for critical systems.

Tools like Metasploit, Burp Suite, OWASP ZAP, and Nessus are popular, automating certain tasks and effectively simulating various attack scenarios.

It typically involves planning and reconnaissance, scanning, gaining access, maintaining access, and analysis, followed by a detailed report of findings and recommendations.

Yes, especially if the testing involves exploiting vulnerabilities, it can be intrusive and potentially disruptive. Tests should be planned carefully to minimize operational impact.

Penetration testing must always be authorized by top management, and proper contracts must be in place to ensure legality and prevent misunderstandings.

Results are documented in a comprehensive report detailing vulnerabilities, exploitation methods, potential impacts, and remediation strategies.

Factors to consider include the organization’s objectives, available resources, regulatory demands, prevalent threats, and prior security incidents. Each factor can influence the choice of test type and frequency.

Black Box Testing: Simulates an external attack with no prior knowledge.

Gray Box Testing: Simulates an attack by someone with limited insider knowledge.

White Box Testing: Comprehensive test where the tester has full system knowledge.

This approach involves crafting specific scenarios to simulate particular types of attacks or threats that are most relevant to the organization, based on intelligence or industry trends.

Consider change management, compliance standards, the criticality of assets, and the findings from previous tests to tailor the testing schedule and type effectively.
