Web Application Penetration Testing: We test the applications your customers and staff depend on, ordering and e-commerce portals, customer and supplier extranets, ERP and MES front ends and internal tools, for issues such as injection flaws, broken authentication and insecure business logic. Essential for any manufacturer taking orders, sharing designs or exposing production data through the browser.

Network Penetration Testing: We assess your internal and external infrastructure, servers, firewalls, remote access and site-to-site links, and we look hard at the boundary between your corporate IT and your operational technology. Weak or missing segmentation is how an attacker gets from a phished office account onto the network that runs your machines. Best suited to firms with in-house IT estates, connected sites or converged IT/OT networks.

Cloud Penetration Testing: We evaluate the cloud environments most manufacturers now rely on, Microsoft 365, Azure, AWS and Google Cloud, for the misconfigurations, excessive permissions and exposed services that lead to breaches of email, ERP data and document stores. Increasingly important as more of your ERP, quality and design systems move off-premise.

LLM / AI Penetration Testing: We test the AI and large language model tools manufacturers are adopting for design assistance, quality inspection, demand forecasting and maintenance, targeting the threats traditional testing misses: prompt injection, data leakage, model manipulation and insecure integrations. Increasingly relevant as you deploy AI features and work towards standards such as ISO 42001.

Social Engineering Testing: Your technology is only as strong as the people using it, and manufacturers are a prime target for phishing and invoice-redirection fraud, particularly around large supplier and capital payments. We test how your team stands up to phishing, pretexting and other human-focused attacks, then help you close the gaps with practical guidance.

Mobile Application Penetration Testing: We test iOS and Android applications for insecure data storage, weak encryption and API vulnerabilities, essential for any manufacturer offering customers or field engineers a mobile app.

Customer and OEM supply-chain audits: evidencing your security posture when a larger customer’s procurement or due-diligence process demands it, often the difference between winning and losing the work.

Cyber Essentials & Cyber Essentials Plus: hands-on assessment beyond the self-certified baseline, increasingly expected for supply-chain membership, public-sector and defence-adjacent contracts.

ISO 27001: independent testing to evidence your information security controls.

IEC 62443: testing aligned to the industrial automation and control systems standard, for firms securing OT environments to a recognised baseline.

TISAX: supporting the assessment automotive customers expect from their supply chain.

NIS Regulations: where your operation falls in scope as an operator of essential services, or where you supply customers who do.

UK GDPR & the Data Protection Act 2018: demonstrating appropriate technical measures for the employee, customer and commercial data you hold.

Professional indemnity & cyber insurance: satisfying the security questions insurers now ask before they renew or quote.

Executive summary: A plain-English overview of what we tested, what we found, and what it means for your business, written so a non-technical reader can understand your risk position in a couple of minutes.

Risk-prioritised findings: Every vulnerability and misconfiguration we identify, rated by severity and real-world impact, so you know exactly what to fix first. No noise, no padding, just the issues that matter, in the order they matter.

Technical detail and proof of concept: For each finding, a clear explanation of the issue, proof-of-concept evidence showing how it could be exploited, and everything your team needs to reproduce and verify it.

Benchmarking against best practice: Where relevant, findings are mapped against CIS benchmarks and cloud provider best practice, so you can see exactly where your configuration drifts from a secure baseline.

Practical remediation advice: Actionable, specific guidance on how to fix each finding, not generic best-practice statements, but steps tailored to your environment. This is the part clients tell us they value most.

Debrief and support: The report isn’t the end of the conversation. We walk your team through the findings in a debrief session, answer their questions, and stay on hand as you work through remediation.

You’re launching a new customer portal, connected product or ordering system: test before it’s exposed to real customers and real attackers, not after.

You’re preparing for an ISO 27001, Cyber Essentials, IEC 62443 or TISAX assessment: these frameworks expect independent testing as part of certification.

A customer, OEM or insurer is asking for it: supply-chain audits and insurance renewals increasingly require evidence of penetration testing before anyone will proceed.

You’ve changed your infrastructure or shop floor: cloud migrations, new production lines, ERP or MES rollouts and IT/OT convergence projects can all introduce vulnerabilities that weren’t there before.

You’re merging with, acquiring or being acquired by another firm: understand the security posture of what you’re taking on, or reassure the people investing in you.

You’ve had a security incident or a near miss: verify the gap is closed and check for anything else an attacker may have reached.

It’s simply been a while: best practice is at least once a year. If you can’t remember your last test, you’re overdue.
