Penetration Testing Services

Simulate a cyberattack against your IT infrastructure in order to identify vulnerabilities and weaknesses.

Penetration testing is an ethical and authorised cyberattack on a client’s computer systems. Using the same tools and techniques used by real attackers, the aim is to test if we can compromise your systems and gain access to corporate networks deemed to be inaccessible. Most security consultants and testers will find low hanging fruit, or obvious vulnerabilities easily enough. A great security tester however, should be able to exploit your systems deeper, and more importantly help you mitigate any risks these vulnerabilities can cause.

Our Penetration Testing Stages

Our method of penetration testing is best-practice in the industry and follows these 3 steps.

1. Project Planning

ITSEC will develop a detailed project plan which includes preparing the project schedule and assigning the tasks to appropriately qualified staff. This allows to schedule the meetings earlier and to make the assessment less intrusive for the personnel. We take time to understand the business set up and advise on best practice testing. We agree on the scope of work and ensure all required documents have been signed.

2. Penetration Testing

The sequence of tasks performed during the penetration test is as follows:

Reconnaissance (brief information gathering)
Passive
Active
Enumeration (accurate network/system mapping and identification of targets within scope)
Vulnerability identification and analysis
Vulnerability exploitation
Privilege escalation and post exploitation
Evaluation
Continual client communication
Penetration test report preparation
Cleaning up

3. Report Preparation & Delivery

ITSEC focus on developing the final project report. By this stage, we already have enough information to commence writing the report based on the status reports presented during the status updates submitted in the previous phases. Thus, this project phase consists of providing additional findings, recommendations, or chapters to the existing information, culminating into the final report which is presented back to our clients.
