Penetration Testing

Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a simulated cyberattack performed by security experts to uncover vulnerabilities in your computer systems and networks, similar to hiring ‘ethical hackers’ to try to break into your systems before real-life bad actors do. By identifying and patching these vulnerabilities, you can significantly reduce the risk of a data breach.

There are many benefits to penetration testing, including:

• Identifying and patching security vulnerabilities
• Reducing the risk of cyberattacks
• Protecting your valuable data
• Avoiding costly breaches
• Maintaining your reputation
• Demonstrating compliance with regulations
• Improving your overall security posture

Cyber incident response is the process of identifying, containing, eradicating, and recovering from a cyber incident. It is essential to have a well-defined incident response plan in place to ensure that organisations can effectively respond to and recover from cyberattacks.

The frequency of penetration testing will depend on your specific needs and risk profile. However, as a general rule, it is recommended to conduct penetration testing at least once a year, or more often if you have sensitive data or are in a high-risk industry.

Yes, we can tailor our penetration testing services to your specific needs and budget. We will work with you to understand your unique security challenges and develop a testing plan that addresses them.

• Enhanced security - Identify and fix potential vulnerabilities before they're exploited.
• Improved code quality - Ensure code is well-structured, efficient, and maintainable.
• Reduced development costs - Catch bugs early, saving time and resources in the long run.
• Accelerated time-to-market - Streamline development processes for faster product release cycles.
• Compliance with industry standards - Meet regulatory requirements and ensure security best practice is adhered to.

We will report all vulnerabilities that we find in a detailed report. The report will include information about the vulnerability, its potential impact, and how to remediate it. We will also work with you to develop a plan to patch the vulnerabilities.

Our penetration testers are highly skilled and experienced security professionals who hold industry-recognised certifications such as CHECK, CREST, and Tiger. They work constantly to stay ahead of the latest cyber threats and attack techniques.

The frequency depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the code, development practices, and industry standards. Generally, it's recommended to perform code reviews regularly, especially before major releases or updates.
