Penetration Testing
We hack you first.
We hack you first.
So attackers can't.
External, internal and cloud penetration testing by certified ethical hackers. Real attack techniques, real findings, and a clear plan to fix them before someone else finds them.
Choose your test
Three ways in. We test them all.
Attackers don't pick just one door. Explore what we test in each environment and tap any bubble to see the details.
External Pentest
Everything the internet can see
We attack your public-facing footprint the same way a real hacker would, looking for the first way in to your network and data.
We simulateAn attacker on the internet with zero access and a lot of patience.
Websites & portalsVPN & firewallsEmail domainsPublic APIs
🧱
+Firewall & perimeter security
We detect misconfigurations in your firewall and perimeter devices that could expose your network.
🚪
+Open ports & services
We enumerate every exposed port and service to find potential entry points for unauthorized access.
🔑
+Credential exposure
We look for leaked or weak credentials and test your password hygiene on internet-facing logins.
🌐
+Public-facing applications
We uncover exploitable vulnerabilities in the apps and portals you expose to the internet.
📧
+DNS & email spoofing
We check whether attackers can impersonate your domain to phish your clients and employees.
🔗
+Third-party integrations & APIs
We test the APIs and integrations that connect you to vendors, a common and often forgotten way in.
Internal Pentest
What happens once they're inside
A single phishing click can put an attacker on your network. We find out how far they could go and what they could reach.

🗂️
+Active Directory review
We hunt for AD misconfigurations that let attackers take over accounts, groups and the whole domain.
🕸️
+Network penetration testing
We map and attack your internal network to see how an intruder could move from one system to the next.
🪜
+Privilege escalation paths
We identify how a regular user account could be turned into an admin account.
⚙️
+Misconfigured services
We find internal services running with weak settings, default credentials or unnecessary exposure.
🖥️
+Internal applications
We analyze the apps your team uses every day for vulnerabilities an insider could exploit.
👑
+Path to your crown jewels
We show exactly which chain of weaknesses leads to your most sensitive data, so you know what to fix first.
Cloud Pentest
Your cloud, under real attack
Cloud breaches usually start with a misconfiguration, not a zero-day. We test your cloud the way attackers do, so your data stays yours.
We simulateAn attacker targeting your cloud accounts, storage and identities.
AWSMicrosoft AzureGoogle CloudMicrosoft 365
🛠️
+Configuration & access control
We review cloud settings and permissions for the misconfigurations behind most cloud breaches.
🪪
+Identity & access management
We test IAM roles, policies and users for excessive privileges and paths to takeover.
🧩
+Network security & segmentation
We check that your cloud networks are properly isolated and not exposed to the internet by accident.
🔒
+Data storage & encryption
We look for exposed buckets, databases and unencrypted data that could leak sensitive information.
📡
+Logging & monitoring
We verify you'd actually see an attack happening, with the right logs and alerts in place.
✅
+Compliance & best practices
We compare your setup against cloud security best practices to support your compliance goals.

No. We agree on testing windows and rules of engagement with you before we start, and we avoid anything disruptive unless you explicitly approve it.
Both have their place. A scan tells you what might be wrong. A pentest shows you what an attacker can actually do.
Vulnerability scan
- Fast automated check for known issues
- Great for ongoing monthly or quarterly monitoring
- A solid baseline of your exposure
- Helps you stay on top of patches
Penetration test
- Certified ethical hackers think like real attackers
- Proves what is actually exploitable, with evidence
- Chains small weaknesses into real attack paths
- Shows business impact and what to fix first
It depends on the scope. Once we understand your environment in the scoping call, your proposal includes a clear timeline from kickoff to final report.
Most companies start with an external pentest because that's where attackers start. If you have an office network or rely heavily on the cloud, internal and cloud testing close the rest of the gaps. We'll recommend the right mix for you.
At least once a year, and any time you make a major change like a new app, a cloud migration or a new office. Many compliance frameworks require annual testing.
