Penetration testing, also known as pen testing or ethical hacking, is a simulated cyber attack where professional ethical hackers break into corporate networks to find vulnerabilities before threat actors do. Usually identified as flaws in operating systems, services and applications, these vulnerabilities may impact the efficacy of an organisation’s network defence mechanism negatively, resulting in undesirable consequences.

We Offer Three Pentesting Methods
Black-box Testing
The penetration tester takes the role of an average hacker, with no knowledge of the target system. This type of pentesting determines the vulnerabilities in a system that are exploitable from outside the network. This method is the quickest to run, since the assignment length depends on the pentester’s skill to exploit external vulnerabilities.
Gray-box Testing
One step up from black-box testing, gray-box testing provides a more focused and efficient assessment of a network’s security. Here, the pentester has the access and knowledge levels of a user, perhaps with elevated privileges on a system. Assessment efforts are focused on the systems with the greatest risk and value from the beginning.
White-box Testing
White-box testing falls on the opposite side of the pentesting spectrum. That is, pentesters are given full access to source code, architecture documentation, and more. Although this is the most time-consuming method of penetration testing because of the huge amount of data that needs to be analysed, it also offers the most comprehensive assessment.

Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing​
We answer your important questions
Hackers will capitalise and exploit on errors made from incorrect coding practices and misconfigurations. Having a third-party run a penetration test avoids conflict of interest situations, resulting in an unbiased outcome.​
You. Any entity that relies on IT should have their system security tested regularly and update their security features to prevent the negative effect of system downtime and malicious hacking.​
Penetration testing pinpoints directly to the weaknesses within an infrastructure (from human negligence to networking systems), providing you with an accurate diagnosis and permitting IT management and security experts to arrange remediation efforts.This helps organisations avoid data incidents that may put their reputation and reliability at stake.​
No, businesses need not worry as our pentesters will adhere to a specific code of conduct and scope of work. In the event that we are able to gain access to your admin console or databases, the pentest stops there for that particular attack vector, and a proof of concept replicating the steps will be submitted in the final VAPT report. We also prefer to work on staging environments.
Our team of trusted assessors will be conducting the pentesting on your systems, websites, and/or mobile apps. As mentioned elsewhere in our website, you can be assured that our pentesters will adhere to a specific code of conduct and scope of work. If you have additional enquiries pertaining to this question, please feel free to send us a message in the box provided on this page. Our best consultants will reach out to you at the soonest time possible.
This will depend on your organisation’s risk appetite. It goes without saying that pentests should be conducted any time: (a) security patches are applied, (b) significant changes are made to the infrastructure or network, (c) new infrastructure or web applications are added, and (d) the office location changes or an office is added to the network. That aside, we highly recommend that all organisations, regardless of their profile or value, have a penetration test at least annually.
