CREST Certified Penetration Testing Services
Our pen tests are offensive cyber security assessments conducted by CREST certified ethical hackers. These tests are carried out to discover and exploit potential vulnerabilities in an organisation’s business systems.
Our
Awards
This web app assessment has been vital to our business. Not only were we taken through any potential risks, but we were also given thorough guidance on how to mitigate them, in a language we were able to understand. Being given this information has been invaluable in ensuring our data is protected.

What are Penetration Testing SErvices?
Penetration Testing Services are crucial for organisations that want to take their cyber security seriously.
A penetration testing service, also known as a pen test, is a type of offensive security test carried out to discover and exploit potential vulnerabilities in an organisation’s technical systems. These tests involve scrutinising internal IT systems and exploring anything from an organisation’s network infrastructure to its web applications, all with the intention of identifying vulnerabilities.
Penetration tests blend automated and manual techniques to simulate real-world attacks and discover active security weaknesses.

Penetration Testing Methodology
1
Reconnaissance & Information Gathering
We start by collecting detailed information about your environment to identify potential targets and vulnerabilities.
2
Scanning & enumerations
Using advanced tools, we scan your systems to enumerate services, applications and underlying infrastructure, pinpointing areas for deeper analysis.
3
ACCESS & EXPLOITATION
Our team simulates real-world attack scenarios to access and exploit identified vulnerabilities, assessing the potential impact on your infrastructure.
4
EXPANSION & ACCESS MAINTENANCE
We explore the extent to which the breach can be expanded and how long unauthorised access can be maintained, revealing the depth of potential security issues.
5
SYSTEM CLEANUP & REPORTING
After testing, we ensure all systems are returned to their original state. A detailed penetration test report outlines our findings and recommends actionable steps for remediation and enhancement.

Penetration Testing FAQs
What is penetration testing and how can it protect my business?
Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking or pen testing, is a proactive security assessment technique conducted to identify vulnerabilities and assess the effectiveness of an organisation’s security controls. It involves simulating real-world attack scenarios to evaluate the security posture of an organisation’s networks, systems, applications or infrastructure.
Penetration testing is a vital tool for organisations as it uncovers weaknesses in infrastructure, applications or network configurations. It tests for vulnerabilities such as software flaws or misconfigurations, providing insights into potential entry points for attackers. Critically, it also assesses the effectiveness of security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems and access controls. Weaknesses or gaps can then be identified and addressed to strengthen overall security.
As penetration testing is key to securing your systems, be sure to choose tried and tested providers – particularly CREST-accredited ones – as they deliver backed services and have the technical expertise to uncover the complex vulnerabilities that modern attackers exploit.
