I need controlled security testing of systems or applications.

Penetration Testing

Controlled adversarial testing of defined systems, applications, networks, or external attack surfaces under written scope.

Problem Solved

Scans identify known weaknesses, but they do not always show whether issues can be chained or exploited to create business impact.

Included

  • Written rules of engagement
  • Defined scope and testing windows
  • External network penetration testing
  • Internal network testing where approved
  • Web application testing where approved
  • Manual validation of selected findings

Deliverables

  • Penetration test report
  • Executive summary
  • Technical findings and evidence
  • Risk-ranked remediation guidance
  • Retest summary if included

Out of Scope Unless Separately Agreed

Testing outside written scopeDoS testing unless explicitly approvedSocial engineering unless separately scopedMalware deployment

Fit and process

How this service helps

Penetration testing is for organizations that need controlled validation of security exposure beyond automated scanning. It is appropriate when a client, insurer, internal risk program, or leadership team needs evidence of how vulnerabilities could be used within an approved scope.

Engagement process

  1. 1Define written authorization, rules of engagement, approved targets, testing windows, and emergency contacts.
  2. 2Perform controlled testing against the agreed scope using manual validation where appropriate.
  3. 3Document findings with evidence, risk context, and business impact.
  4. 4Review results and support remediation planning or retesting if included.

Expected outcomes

  • Better understanding of exploitable risk within the approved scope.
  • Evidence-backed findings that support remediation decisions.
  • A more credible security testing record for leadership, clients, or insurers.
