Penetration Tests

Penetration tests (pentests) are controlled simulations of hacker attacks on a company's IT infrastructure, applications, and processes, carried out by certified experts to detect real vulnerabilities before cybercriminals exploit them. A professional service delivers a detailed report of weaknesses and concrete remediation steps, strengthening security without risk to the business.

What are penetration tests?
A pentest is an authorised ethical attack that mimics real hacker actions: scanning, vulnerability exploitation, privilege escalation, and attempts to take control of systems. It covers infrastructure (servers, network), web/mobile applications, APIs, and social engineering tests (phishing, vishing).

What does the pentest process look like?
Scoping and preparation (1‑2 days): meeting with the client, defining the scope ("black/grey/white box"), signing an NDA and Rules of Engagement (ROE).
Reconnaissance (1‑3 days): gathering information about targets (OSINT, port scanning, service fingerprinting).
Scanning and exploitation (3‑7 days): automated tests (Nessus, OpenVAS), manual attacks (Metasploit, Burp Suite), SQLi, XSS, privilege escalation attempts.
Reporting (2‑3 days): a detailed document with discovered vulnerabilities (CVSS score), proof‑of‑concept, remediation steps, and a retest after fixes are applied.
Follow‑up: verification of fixes, optional workshop for the IT team.

Business benefits of pentests
Early vulnerability detection – identifying critical weaknesses (e.g., RCE, SQL injection) before attackers exploit them, preventing leaks and downtime.
Regulatory compliance – reports meet the requirements of GDPR, NIS2, PCI‑DSS, KSC, and industry standards, essential in tenders.
Reduced financial risk – the average cost of an incident is $4.5 million; a pentest pays for itself by avoiding one major failure.
Strengthened awareness – the IT team and management see real threats, motivating investment in security.
Market advantage – a "pentest OK" certificate builds customer and partner trust in sensitive sectors (finance, healthcare, manufacturing).

Why choose a professional external company?
An internal team lacks objectivity and broad experience in the latest attack techniques. Professionals hold certifications (OSCP, CEH), use enterprise tools, have liability insurance, and follow methodologies (PTES, OWASP), guaranteeing reliability and no false positives.
