Penetration Testing

Penetration testing is used to test and find security exploits within systems and applications to ensure your organisation has a strong defence against real-world hacking techniques.

Why:

  • Penetration testing can be key to compliance with industry standards and legal requirements.
  • Our expert testers will identify potential weaknesses and recommend protecting you against common attacks.
  • Provide confidence to your customers that their data is safe with you.
  • Comply with industry and government contracts to gain access to more work.

Penetration tests are the ideal way for organisations to understand their threat landscape and begin implementing controls to reduce the risk of a cyber security breach. 

Types of testing:

  • Network Infrastructure Testing—This test involves examining Internal or External devices to ensure they cannot be exploited to access your data. It also includes examining router and firewall configurations and IP addresses.
  • Web Application—Web application testing protects your web applications to prevent exploitation. We will also identify potential flaws in the application logic and prevent common hacking techniques such as SQL injection and cross-site scripting from being run. 
  • Mobile Application Testing – Mobile applications are consistently on the rise. We conduct thorough tests using the latest development frameworks and security testing tools.
  • Cloud Service Testing – Understanding your techniques to secure cloud infrastructures to ensure they are configured according to industry standards or the CIS Benchmarks. Our testing will identify unsecured policies or configurations that leave your organisation's data vulnerable.

Vulnerability management

Vulnerability Management preparation

To ensure you receive appropriate preparation for a vulnerability management programme, we’ll implement a five-step cycle that’ll help:

1. Establish the scope of the programme

2. Allocate roles and responsibilities based on knowledge and capabilities

3. Choose the ideal vulnerability assessment tools

4. Create correct policies and procedures

5. Determine asset content sources

Vulnerability Management Lifecycle

Vulnerability Management applies a five-stage cyclical lifecycle to stop threats at the source and ensure vulnerabilities don’t become risks. Our consultants provide the following:

1. Assessment

2. Prioritisation

3. Action

4. Reassessment

5. Improvement

Our ongoing, regular process for identifying, assessing, and reporting cyber vulnerabilities helps ensure your organisation operate with a peace of mind. We will scan your IT infrastructure through automated applications to identify vulnerabilities and provide recommendations using a risk-based approach.

We tailor our approach to vulnerability management around your requirements. Whether you need a one-off, weekly, monthly, or quarterly scan, we can ensure that the results meet the organisation's needs.

All of our scanning and vulnerability management is conducted using PCI-approved security tools.

Cyber Maturity Reviews

Cyber Maturity reviews and assessments take an in-depth look at your organisation's cyber security posture, including policies, processes, technologies, and practices. Our Cyber Maturity Reviews are conducted against industry standards and best practices.

Key Components of Our Review:

  • Risk Assessment - Identify potential threats and vulnerabilities that could impact your organisation.
  • Policy Evaluation - Review and analysis of your existing security policies and procedures to ensure they are effective and up to date.
  • Technical Assessment - Examine your IT infrastructure, including networks, systems, and applications, to identify technical weaknesses.
  • Employee Awareness - Evaluate the level of cybersecurity awareness among your staff and recommend training where necessary.
  • Compliance Check - Ensure your organisation meets regulatory and industry compliance requirements.

Our Cyber Maturity Reviews will provide you with practical and prioritised recommendations to improve your security. This will help enhance your resilience and provide continuous improvement to keep compliant with industry standards.

Penetration Testing

What will be delivered at the end of the penetration test?

How often should a penetration test be performed?

Generally, it is recommended to conduct a penetration testing at least annually or after significant changes to systems or applications being developed.

What's the difference between an internal and external penetration test?

An internal penetration tests involve testing the security measures of an organisation’s internal network and systems often with some level of access to the network, whereas an external penetration test involves testing from the outside and often with no predefined access. Both forms of testing are essential for mitigating security risks and identifying vulnerabilities in organisations IT infrastructure or applications.

How long does a penetration test take?

The duration of a penetration test varies depending on the scope and complexity of the assessment. Typically it can range from a few days to a couple weeks.

Vulnerability Management

What is the vulnerability management lifecycle?

Within cyber security, the vulnerability management lifecycle contains five key steps:

Assess | Prioritise | Act | Reassess | Improve
