Professional Penetration Testing Services
Discover, Exploit, Fix—Before Attackers Do
Automated scanners flag potential issues, but penetration testing proves what attackers can actually exploit. Our ethical hackers replicate real attack techniques, demonstrate exploit chains, prioritize fixes by business impact, and provide actionable remediation guidance with proof-of-concept documentation.
Why Penetration Testing Is Essential
Understanding the critical gaps that automated scanning can't detect
Scanners Miss Real Exploits
Automated tools flag potential vulnerabilities but can't verify exploitability or demonstrate chained attacks. Penetration testing proves what attackers can actually accomplish, showing the real business impact of security weaknesses.
Business Logic Flaws
Critical vulnerabilities like privilege escalation, payment manipulation, multi-tenant isolation failures, and authentication bypasses require manual testing. These application-specific weaknesses represent the highest-impact security gaps.
Compliance Requirements
PCI DSS, SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001 mandate regular penetration testing with documented evidence. Failing compliance audits results in fines, lost contracts, and inability to process payments or handle sensitive data.
Detection Gap Validation
Penetration testing reveals whether your security controls, monitoring tools, and incident response procedures actually detect attacks. Discovering detection gaps during an audit is far better than during a real breach.
Attack Path Discovery
Individual vulnerabilities may seem low-risk, but attackers chain multiple weaknesses creating critical exploit paths. Penetration testing maps these attack chains showing how initial access escalates to complete system compromise.
Pre-Launch Assurance
Discovering critical vulnerabilities after product launch causes emergency patches, customer notifications, and reputational damage. Pre-release penetration testing catches security flaws before attackers and customers do.

Our Penetration Testing Methodology
Structured, repeatable process ensuring comprehensive security assessment
Scoping & Rules of Engagement
Define target assets, allowed testing techniques, blackout windows, escalation contacts, legal authorization, and NDA execution. Establish clear boundaries preventing production disruption while maximizing security coverage.
Reconnaissance & Asset Discovery
Passive and active intelligence gathering identifying subdomains, exposed services, technology stack, third-party integrations, hidden endpoints, and certificate transparency logs. Map complete attack surface understanding all entry points.
Threat Modeling
Identify critical business assets, map potential attacker goals, and prioritize attack paths by business impact. Focus testing efforts on scenarios causing maximum damage to guide efficient vulnerability discovery.
Vulnerability Discovery
Combine automated scanning for breadth with manual testing for depth. Focus on business logic flaws, privilege escalation, authentication bypasses, and vulnerability chains missed by automated tools.
Safe Exploitation & PoC
Develop non-destructive proof-of-concept exploits demonstrating real business impact. Document reproducible attack steps with screenshots, HTTP requests, and technical evidence. Destructive testing only with explicit authorization.
Post-Exploitation Assessment
Evaluate data access scope, system control level, persistence mechanisms, lateral movement potential, and privilege escalation paths. Demonstrate the full impact of successful exploitation on business operations.
Remediation Guidance
Provide prioritized, actionable fix recommendations with code examples, configuration changes, WAF rules, and IDS/IPS signatures. Developer-focused guidance enabling rapid vulnerability remediation.
Retest & Verification
Validate applied fixes for critical and high-severity findings. Confirm vulnerabilities are completely remediated without introducing new security weaknesses. Provide retest report documenting closure status.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about penetration testing services
Vulnerability scanners identify potential security issues but cannot prove exploitability or demonstrate business impact. Penetration testing manually verifies vulnerabilities, chains multiple weaknesses together, tests business logic flaws, validates actual exploitation, and provides proof-of-concept demonstrations showing what attackers can accomplish. Scanners provide a list; pentests prove real risk.
Our default approach is non-destructive testing designed to avoid production disruption. We establish rules of engagement defining authorized testing boundaries, use non-production environments when possible, schedule testing during low-traffic periods, implement safety mechanisms preventing data corruption, and require explicit authorization before any potentially disruptive tests. Over 15 years, we've maintained a perfect record of zero production incidents.
Yes. We require test accounts for each privilege level or can work with delegated authentication methods. Complex SSO implementations (Okta, Azure AD, SAML) and MFA systems increase testing scope and timeline as we verify authentication security across the entire chain. We also test for MFA bypass vulnerabilities and session management weaknesses that could circumvent these controls.
Draft technical reports are delivered within 5-10 business days after testing completion, with executive summaries typically 1-2 days later. Critical findings are communicated immediately upon discovery via secure channels. Expedited reporting (1-3 days) is available for time-sensitive compliance deadlines or pre-launch schedules. We prioritize actionable, clear documentation over speed.
Most packages include one round of retesting for critical and high-severity findings to verify successful remediation. Additional retests for medium/low findings or full regression testing are available as add-ons. Our PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service) option includes continuous retesting and monitoring ensuring sustained security posture.
Our penetration testing methodology and documentation meet requirements for PCI DSS (requirement 11.3), SOC 2 (CC7.1), HIPAA Security Rule, ISO 27001 (A.12.6), GDPR Article 32, NIST 800-53, and state-specific regulations. We provide attestation letters, detailed evidence packages, and compliance-formatted reports suitable for audit submissions and regulatory filings.
Timeline depends on scope complexity: small web applications (3-7 tester-days over 1-2 weeks), mid-size applications with APIs (7-20 tester-days over 2-4 weeks), enterprise environments with multiple systems (20-60 tester-days over 4-8 weeks), and red team operations (multi-week campaigns spanning 6-12 weeks). We provide detailed timelines during scoping.
Required: target asset list (domains, IPs, APIs), test account credentials for each privilege level, architecture diagrams, and authorization documentation. Helpful: critical business hours to avoid, maintenance windows, escalation contacts, existing security controls documentation, known third-party integrations, and any blacklisted testing techniques. We provide a detailed preparation checklist during engagement.
Yes. Our PTaaS (Penetration Testing as a Service) provides continuous security assessment with recurring automated scanning, periodic manual penetration tests, integrated remediation tracking, SLA-backed response times, continuous dashboards showing security posture, prioritized vulnerability tickets, and scheduled retesting. Ideal for organizations requiring sustained security validation and compliance evidence.
Our approach emphasizes: business context understanding focusing tests on high-impact scenarios, manual testing depth beyond automated tools, clear remediation guidance with code examples, compliance-ready documentation, transparent communication throughout engagement, and post-test support including retest validation. We prioritize actionable findings that development teams can fix quickly over inflated vulnerability counts.
