A closer look at our penetration testing process
1. Scoping
We collaborate with you to define the scope, objectives, and boundaries of the penetration test. This includes identifying the systems, applications, or networks to be tested, along with any exclusions or limitations. Key objectives such as identifying vulnerabilities, testing compliance requirements, or assessing security posture are established. Clear rules of engagement ensure alignment with your goals while minimising the risk of operational disruption.
2. Intel Gathering
We conduct reconnaissance to collect information about the target environment. This includes identifying exposed services, IP addresses, domains, and any publicly accessible information that could be leveraged by attackers. The data collected during this phase forms the foundation for identifying potential vulnerabilities and attack vectors in subsequent stages.
3. Vulnerability Analysis
Our team systematically evaluates the target systems for vulnerabilities. This includes identifying misconfigurations, unpatched software, weak authentication mechanisms, or insecure communication channels. The analysis may involve automated scanning tools as well as manual testing to ensure thoroughness and accuracy. Vulnerabilities are prioritised based on their potential impact and exploitability.
4. Exploitation
In this phase, we attempt to exploit identified vulnerabilities to determine their real-world impact. This may involve gaining unauthorised access, escalating privileges, or accessing sensitive data. Exploitation activities are conducted in a controlled manner to ensure system stability and data integrity, demonstrating how an attacker could leverage weaknesses to compromise the target environment.
If exploitation is successful, we assess the potential for further compromise, such as pivoting within the network, maintaining persistence, or accessing additional resources. This phase mimics real-world attacker behavior to understand the full scope of impact and identify additional security gaps.
5. Reporting
We provide a comprehensive report detailing the vulnerabilities discovered, the methods used to exploit them, and their potential impact on your organisation. Each finding is accompanied by practical recommendations for remediation, prioritised by severity and risk. The report is designed to be actionable for technical teams while being accessible to non-technical stakeholders.
6. Debriefing
The engagement concludes with a debriefing session to review the results and discuss their implications. We provide an overview of the vulnerabilities, demonstrate potential exploitation scenarios, and answer any questions. This session ensures a clear understanding of the findings and offers actionable guidance for strengthening your security posture.
