Penetration testing

Penetration testing services that show where an attacker would get in

We attack your application, APIs and infrastructure the way an outsider would, with permission and an agreed scope. You get every finding ranked by risk, and help fixing it.

What we test

What our penetration testing services cover

A penetration test is a controlled attack on your systems. Our ethical hackers look for vulnerabilities and try to exploit them, so you see what a real attacker could reach: which data, which permissions, how far in.

Unlike an automated scan, it doesn't stop at a list of possible issues. It confirms which ones can be exploited and what they mean for your business.

Tell us what you want tested

Web applications

Authentication, user-to-user permissions, session handling and injection flaws. We test what a malicious user could do inside your product.

APIs

Exposed endpoints, object-level authorization and data that leaks more than it should. This is where modern applications usually break.

External network

Everything your company exposes to the internet: servers, services and remote access someone could find from outside.

Internal network

What happens once someone is in: how far they can move, which credentials they get and which critical systems they reach.

Cloud

AWS, Azure and Google Cloud configurations: permissions, exposed storage and services left open by mistake.

When to test

When do you need penetration testing?

  • An enterprise customer asks for a recent pentest report before signing.
  • A SOC 2, ISO 27001 or PCI DSS audit is coming up.
  • You shipped a major feature or opened an API to third parties.
  • You moved to the cloud or changed your product's architecture.
  • It's been more than a year since your last test and the product has changed.
Process

How our penetration testing works

Agreed scope, no disruption to your operations

Let's scope your pentest
Phase 1

Scoping

We define what gets tested, with what level of access and when.

Everything is written down and authorized before we start.

Phase 2

Reconnaissance

We map what's exposed: domains, services, endpoints and technologies.

It's what an attacker does before trying to get in.

Phase 3

Exploitation

We try to exploit what we found, without damaging data or services.

That's how we separate real issues from false positives.

Phase 4

Report

Every finding comes with its risk level, steps to reproduce and how to fix it.

An executive summary for leadership, technical detail for your engineers.

Phase 5

Remediation

We build a remediation plan ordered by priority.

If you need it, our development team helps you implement the fixes.

A pentest that ends in fixes

Most providers hand you a PDF. We also build software, so we can help you close what we find.

  • +40 audit, pentesting and compliance projects
  • Team certified in CEH, CompTIA Security+ and ISO 27001
  • Findings ranked by risk, written for your engineering team
  • In-house developers to fix the vulnerabilities
  • Aligned with SOC 2, ISO 27001, NIST and PCI DSS

Better we find it than someone else

A pentest costs far less than an incident. And a clear report helps you close deals with customers who ask for proof of security.

Penetration testing services FAQs

01 What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?

A vulnerability assessment uses automated tools and returns a list of possible issues. A penetration test goes further: it confirms which ones can be exploited and what an attacker could reach. Many teams combine both, which is often called VAPT.

02 What types of penetration testing do you offer?

It depends on how much information you give us. Black box means no information, like an outside attacker. Gray box means a test account, like a customer or an employee. White box means access to code and architecture. For SaaS products, gray box usually gives the best balance of realism and coverage.

03 How often should we run a penetration test?

At least once a year, and whenever something big changes: a new feature, a public API or a migration. SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS all expect regular testing. We help you meet them as part of our cybersecurity company services.

04 How much do penetration testing services cost?

It depends on scope: how many applications, APIs and IPs, and what level of access. A pentest of one web app and its API doesn't cost the same as testing your whole network. After a first call we define the scope and send you a proposal.

05 Can a penetration test affect production?

We plan it so it doesn't. We agree on time windows, avoid tests that could take services down and, if you prefer, work on a staging environment that mirrors production.

06 How do I choose among penetration testing companies?

Look at certifications, a sample report, and whether they help after the report. A list of findings is only useful if your team can act on it. If you need a broader review that also covers policies and processes, see our cybersecurity audit.

Knowing which application, APIs or infrastructure you want tested is enough for a first call. We define the scope together.
