Penetration test scoping & review

A penetration test, sometimes called a "pen test" or "ethical hacking" is a useful tool for finding vulnerabilities in your systems and then exploiting them in the same way an attacker would. Some organisations use penetration tests to meet compliance or contractual requirements, while others use them as part of good security practice to support building better systems.

Knowing what to penetration test can be a struggle. After understanding your goals, we can assist in scoping your test so your requirements are made clear to penetration testing companies. Need to choose a test company? We've got knowledge of various companies in the UK and can help with your tender process. We can be available during the test to assist with queries between the test company and your own teams.

Before your test begins we'll work with your teams to find the "low hanging fruit" and resolving it. Removing these vulnerabilities allows the penetration tester to focus on more complex areas of the test, which provides your organisation better value and a higher return on your investment.

Once the penetration test is complete we can review the results, giving you advice and helping to prioritise fixes. We take an objective view of the findings, guiding you to a better understanding of the report and what you need to do.
