Vulnerability Assessment & Penetration Testing

Identify and validate security weaknesses through a combination of automated vulnerability scanning and manual penetration testing, providing clear evidence of exploitability and risk.

Overview

Vulnerability assessment identifies potential security weaknesses across your environment. Penetration testing validates whether those weaknesses can be exploited and determines the real-world impact of successful attacks. Together, they provide a practical view of your organisation's exposure.

Our approach combines automated discovery with manual testing to identify issues that automated tools alone cannot find, including business logic flaws, chained vulnerabilities, and complex attack paths.

Who This Is For

  • Organisations requiring periodic security testing of their infrastructure
  • Companies meeting compliance or regulatory testing requirements
  • Development teams seeking validation of application security controls
  • Organisations evaluating security posture before or after significant changes

What We Test

  • External and internal network infrastructure
  • Web applications and APIs
  • Mobile applications
  • Cloud environments and configurations
  • Wireless networks
  • Authentication and access control mechanisms
  • Configuration and patch management

Our Approach

Testing follows a structured methodology that includes reconnaissance, enumeration, vulnerability identification, exploitation, and post-exploitation analysis. We use a combination of industry-standard tools and manual techniques, with careful scope management to minimise disruption to your operations.

What You Receive

  • Detailed findings with evidence of exploitation and proof-of-concept
  • Risk-rated vulnerabilities with business impact context
  • Prioritised remediation recommendations
  • Executive summary for non-technical stakeholders
  • Retest support to verify remediation effectiveness
