Penetration tests are advanced security audits aimed at detecting and assessing vulnerabilities across an organisation’s IT ecosystem – from network infrastructure to web and mobile applications up to cloud solutions. These tests not only identify vulnerabilities, but also simulate realistic attack scenarios, including social engineering attacks or zero-day exploits, so that the effectiveness of defence mechanisms can be verified. This allows an organisation to assess its ability to detect incidents, respond to them and minimise potential business losses.
Our testing process uses a hybrid approach, leveraging the best-in-class scanning tools with expert analysis by certified specialists. We combine insights from public vulnerability databases, such as CVE MITRE, and on proprietary knowledge bases that are continuously updated by monitoring the darknet, hacker’s forums as well as deep in-house expertise. This allows us to catch even the most recent threats specific to the client’s industry – including the financial, medical or e-commerce sectors.
We conduct the testing process under international standards rules, such as:
- PTES (Penetration Testing Execution Standard) – ensuring consistency of phases from recognition to reporting
- OWASP Testing Guidelines
- ISO/IEC 27001, PN-ISO/IEC 17799 and ISO/IEC TR 13335 guidelines, ensuring compliance with legal requirements and risk management best practices
- TIBER-EU
Penetration testing, as required, includes testing:
The result of the tests is a report with specific areas for security improvement. All vulnerabilities found will be grouped according to the Common Vulnerability Scoring System and flagged in the most popular standards (CVE). The report will also include a list of warranty claims to current vendors, if identified.
We are here not only to hand you a report and walk away. After each test our experts provide you consultation session. We can also help you to implement the necessary improvements and address the problems together.
