Penetration testing at a glance
Who this is for
CISOs, IT Directors, CTOs and product teams who need independent proof of security for systems, applications or compliance.
When you need this
Annual testing requirements, a new application or major release, compliance (ISO 27001, SOC 2, PCI DSS, HIPAA), customer due diligence or after significant infrastructure changes.
Delivery model
Fixed-scope test with an agreed rules of engagement, a technical and executive report, and a retest of remediated findings.
What is penetration testing?
Penetration testing is an authorised, simulated attack on systems to identify and safely exploit vulnerabilities, showing what a real attacker could achieve. A vulnerability assessment identifies and rates weaknesses, usually with automated scanning plus expert validation. Together they are often called VAPT.
Our testing follows recognized methodologies including the OWASP Web Security Testing Guide, the OWASP Top 10 and NIST SP 800-115.
Types of penetration testing we offer
- External network penetration testing – internet-facing systems, VPNs, firewalls and exposed services.
- Internal network penetration testing – what an attacker or malicious insider could reach from inside, including Active Directory attack paths.
- Web application penetration testing – authentication, authorization, injection, business logic and OWASP Top 10 risks.
- API security testing – REST and GraphQL APIs against the OWASP API Security Top 10.
- Cloud penetration testing – Azure, AWS and Google Cloud configuration and identity attack paths.
- Microsoft 365 and Entra ID testing – identity, Conditional Access and tenant misconfiguration attack paths.
- Vulnerability assessment – scanning with expert validation and prioritization.
Our testing process
- Scoping and rules of engagement – targets, testing windows, contacts and authorization.
- Reconnaissance – map the attack surface.
- Vulnerability discovery – automated and manual testing.
- Exploitation – safe, controlled exploitation to confirm impact.
- Reporting – executive summary, technical findings, risk ratings and remediation guidance.
- Retest – verify that fixes are effective.
What you receive

Penetration testing FAQs
Common questions about penetration testing and VAPT.
What is the difference between a vulnerability assessment and a penetration test?
A vulnerability assessment identifies and rates weaknesses, mostly with scanning. A penetration test goes further by safely exploiting weaknesses to show real-world impact and attack paths.
How often should we run a penetration test?
At least annually and after significant changes such as new applications, major releases or infrastructure changes. Some standards and customers require specific frequencies.
Will penetration testing disrupt our systems?
Testing is planned to minimize risk, with agreed windows and safe techniques. Potentially disruptive tests are only performed with explicit approval.
How long does a penetration test take?
Most tests take 1 to 3 weeks of testing depending on scope, followed by reporting. A focused web application test can be shorter.
Do you retest after we fix issues?
Yes. Each engagement includes a retest of remediated findings within an agreed period.
Does penetration testing help with compliance?
Yes. Penetration testing supports requirements and expectations in frameworks such as PCI DSS, ISO 27001 and SOC 2, and is commonly requested in customer security reviews.
