Determining which type of assessment to run really depends on the goal you're wanting to accomplish. If you'd like to determine how vulnerabilities can be used to compromise your organisation's network and understand how an attacker may be able to move laterally, then a penetration test is the assessment you want to run. Alternatively, if you just want to identify vulnerabilities, but not exploit them or see how they can be used, then you should run a vulnerability assessment.
How we test your defences
Internal Network Penetration Testing
UNCOVER INSIDER THREATS AND NETWORK WEAKNESSES
A cybercriminal who gains internal access can move undetected, steal data, and disrupt operations. Our internal penetration test simulates a real-world attack to expose risks before they are exploited.
Identify misconfigured devices – Find security gaps that attackers could exploit within your network.
Detect unpatched vulnerabilities – Ensure outdated systems don’t leave you open to exploitation.
Attempt real-world attack techniques– Simulate known hacking methods to harvest credentials and escalate privileges.
Test lateral movement – See how easily an attacker could move across your network and access sensitive data.
Actionable remediation plan – Clear steps to fix vulnerabilities and strengthen your internal security.
External Network Penetration Testing
STOP HACKERS BEFORE THEY GET IN
Cybercriminals don’t need physical access to breach your systems. Our external penetration test identifies weaknesses in your internet-facing infrastructure before attackers do.
Identify exposed services and misconfigurations – Find weaknesses in firewalls, DNS, VPNs, and web portals.
Test for unpatched vulnerabilities – Ensure your internet-facing systems aren’t leaving you exposed.
Assess authentication and access controls – Simulate brute-force, credential stuffing, and other attacks.
Attempt real-world exploits – See if known vulnerabilities can be leveraged to gain unauthorised access.
Comprehensive reporting – A clear breakdown of risks, proof of exploitation, and actionable fixes.

FAQs about our penetration testing service
Will I experience any interruptions during testing?
If you do, it’s very minimal. Our penetration testing process is designed to minimise any potential disruptions to your network and daily operations. We achieve this by:
Avoiding DoS (Denial-of-Service) risks – We do not attempt exploits that could cause system crashes or outages.
Limiting man-in-the-middle (MitM) attacks – These are performed in short, controlled bursts to prevent long-term impact.
Excluding untested attacks – Any attack that has not been thoroughly vetted is not included in our testing methodology.
Our approach ensures accurate security assessments while keeping your systems operational and stable throughout the process.
Can I Get a One-Off Penetration Test, or Is It Only for Managed Clients?
Yes, we offer penetration testing as a one-off project for businesses needing a security assessment. We also provide remediation support, which can be priced into the project fee if needed.
However, if you're a managed IT client, annual penetration testing is included as part of your service at no additional cost. This ensures ongoing security validation without extra fees—just another way we elevate your cyber security as part of our commitment to protecting your business.
Does penetration testing help with compliance?
Yes, penetration testing helps meet regulatory and industry compliance requirements such as Cyber Essentials, Cyber Essentials Plus, ISO 27001, PCI-DSS, GDPR, DORA, and more.
Our reports provide detailed evidence of security measures, helping you demonstrate compliance to auditors, clients, and stakeholders.
How detailed is the penetration testing report?
Our reports are clear, actionable, and compliance-ready. Each report includes an executive summary for leadership teams, a breakdown of identified vulnerabilities with proof-of-exploit where applicable, and remediation guidance with clear steps on how to fix each issue.
Is the remediation test really free?
Yes! We include a complimentary remediation test as part of our commitment to helping small businesses stay secure.
Once you’ve addressed the vulnerabilities identified in our report, we’ll run a follow-up test to verify that the fixes have been successfully implemented—at no extra cost.
Unlike other providers who charge for retesting, we believe security improvements should be validated without hidden fees.
Do you test web applications or only networks?
We specialise in internal and external network penetration testing. We do not conduct web application or API testing, but we can recommend trusted partners if required.
Internal penetration testing simulates insider threats and compromised device scenarios. External penetration testing identifies vulnerabilities in internet-facing systems. Our automated testing approach prioritises real-world attack scenarios to give you an accurate understanding of your security posture.
