Penetration testing

Network and infrastructure penetration testing

We provide thorough, independent examinations of your IT infrastructure and systems. Our expert team identifies software and configuration vulnerabilities within your critical infrastructure through comprehensive internal and external testing.

Internal – We assess all components of your internal corporate networks, including physical assets (computers, workstations, on-premises servers, USB devices and hard drives) and networked systems (keycard systems, reader networks and printer infrastructure).

External – We evaluate your internet-facing assets, including firewalls, web servers, email servers, public IP addresses and WiFi networks.

Application, API & code review testing

Applications and APIs present attractive targets for cybercriminals. Our penetration testing assesses security vulnerabilities, weaknesses and technical misconfigurations across your entire application estate.

We test the following:

• Web applications and interactive platforms.
• Backend API services and tasks.
• Mobile applications (Android and iOS).
• Desktop clients interacting with backend services or databases.
• Custom applications and proprietary interfaces.
• Third-party integrations and authentication mechanisms.

Secure Code Review – We conduct thorough source code examinations to identify security flaws early in your development lifecycle. Our expert analysis uncovers vulnerabilities that dynamic testing might miss, including logic errors, insecure programming practices and embedded credentials. This proactive approach strengthens your security from the foundation up.

Cloud penetration testing and configuration reviews

We deliver comprehensive security assessments of your cloud environments and their configurations. Our expert team identifies vulnerabilities and misconfigurations across your cloud infrastructure through a meticulous testing and review processes.

Cloud Penetration Testing – We thoroughly evaluate your cloud-hosted systems and applications, including cloud storage, virtual machines, containerised applications and serverless functions. Our testing identifies security gaps in your cloud deployment before attackers can exploit them.

Configuration Reviews – We assess the configuration of your cloud environments, examining identity and access management, network security controls, encryption implementation and security logging. We identify security hardening opportunities and compliance gaps in your cloud setup.

Configuration and hardening reviews

System configurations often contain security gaps that attackers can exploit. Our comprehensive configuration reviews assess vulnerabilities and security weaknesses across your entire technology estate.

We evaluate the following:

• End-user devices (workstations, laptops and mobile devices).
• Server environments (on-premises, cloud and hybrid).
• Network infrastructure (routers, switches and firewalls).
• Wireless networks and access points.
• Virtualisation platforms and containers.
• Identity and access management systems.
• Security monitoring and logging configurations.

Security Baseline Alignment – We compare your current configurations against industry best practices, vendor security recommendations and compliance frameworks. Our detailed analysis identifies any deviations from secure baselines and provides practical hardening recommendations tailored to your operational requirements.

Hardware security testing

Physical security devices can present unique vulnerabilities that malicious actors can exploit. Our hardware penetration testing assesses security weaknesses in your physical security infrastructure and electronic devices.

We test the following:

• Physical access control systems (readers, controllers and locks).
• IoT and embedded devices.
• Network appliances and hardware.
• RFID and NFC implementations.
• Kiosks and point-of-sale systems.
• Custom hardware solutions.
  .

Hardware Analysis – We employ both non-invasive and invasive techniques to evaluate hardware security. Our testing identifies vulnerabilities in hardware components, firmware, communication protocols and physical tamper resistance. This detailed examination uncovers security gaps in your hardware infrastructure that could lead to unauthorised access or data breaches.

Adversary emulation (“Red Teaming”)

Our Red Team operations simulate sophisticated real-world attacks against your organisation’s people, processes and technology. These objective-focused engagements test your security controls and response capabilities under realistic conditions.

We conduct the following:

• Full-scope attack simulations.
• Social engineering campaigns.
• Targeted phishing attacks (email, voice and SMS).
• Physical security assessments.
• Targeted cyber operations.
• Adversary emulation exercises.
• Threat intelligence-based scenarios.
• Detection and response evaluations.

Advanced Adversary Simulation – We employ tactics, techniques and procedures used by genuine threat actors targeting your industry. Our skilled operators work covertly to achieve specific objectives while evading detection, providing a genuine test of your security effectiveness against determined adversaries.
