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 organization’s security controls. It involves simulating real-world attack scenarios to evaluate the security posture of an organization’s networks, systems, applications, or infrastructure.

Penetration testing is a vital tool for organisations as it uncovers security weaknesses in an organization’s infrastructure, applications, or network configurations. It tests for vulnerabilities, like software flaws or misconfigurations, providing insights into potential entry points for attackers. Critically, it assesses the effectiveness of security controls such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and access controls, weaknesses or gaps can be identified and addressed to strengthen overall security.

How does penetration testing identify and exploit vulnerabilities?

Penetration testing systematically identifies vulnerabilities through planning, scanning, and enumeration, ethical hackers exploit these vulnerabilities in a controlled manner to gain unauthorised access. Post-exploitation, a detailed report is provided with recommendations for improving security. This entire process is conducted ethically and responsibly to strengthen an organisations defenses and prevent harm from a real attack.

What are the costs typically associated with penetration testing?

The cost of penetration testing in the UK can vary depending on several factors, including the scope of the test, the complexity of the systems being tested and the duration of the engagement.

Generally, for a standard penetration test, prices can range from a few thousand pounds to tens of thousands of pounds. More extensive or specialized tests, such as those targeting critical infrastructure or complex enterprise environments, may cost significantly more.

Can penetration testing help my business become compliant with data protection regulations?

According to the ICO, complying with the GDPR entails regularly testing, assessing, and evaluating the effectiveness of implemented security measures. This typically involves conducting vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. The frequency of these tests may vary based on your organisation’s risk appetite, ranging from at least once a year to potentially once a quarter or even weekly. And so, investing in regular penetration tests can support your business in complying to data protection regulations.

What kind of reporting and communication can I expect from a penetration testing service?

When engaging a penetration testing service, you can expect clear communication and comprehensive reporting. The team will discuss your objectives and gather information before conducting the test, provide updates during the testing phase and deliver a detailed report with findings, vulnerabilities, and recommended actions. You can expect follow-up discussions and ongoing support to address the identified vulnerabilities effectively.

How often would you recommend doing penetration tests?

Regular penetration testing, conducted at least annually, is essential to maintain consistent IT and network security management, however many larger organisation carry this out on a quarterly basis. Additionally, it should be performed whenever significant upgrades or modifications are made to infrastructure and applications. This proactive approach helps uncover potential risks posed by newly discovered threats and emerging vulnerabilities, ensuring that malicious hackers cannot exploit them.
