Targeted Penetration Testing
Your security will be put to the test… But if it's us, the experience will be far less painful.
Get in TouchEvery Organisation Is a Potential Target
Recent high-profile breaches have shown that attackers exploit common vulnerabilities using well-known, well-documented techniques. Every organisation is a potential target, even those without obviously high-value information assets.
Compromised systems are a valuable commodity: they are often used to amplify DDoS attacks, serve as pivot points into other businesses, and distribute spam or host illegal content. Cybercriminals continuously scan the internet for vulnerable systems and organisations with weak security.
Identifying your weaknesses before they do is essential.
Simulating Real-World Attacks
As part of our comprehensive Security Assessment portfolio, a Targeted Penetration Test is designed to identify and safely compromise vulnerable systems. Operating under strict ethical guidelines, our ethical hackers simulate real-world attack scenarios from an adversary's perspective, applying the same skills and resources used in the wild.
We begin with a vulnerability scan of the target environment using a combination of commercial and proprietary tools. The results are carefully reviewed and validated by an experienced analyst, with false positives removed. Where appropriate, identified vulnerabilities are safely exploited to confirm their validity.
You will receive a detailed report outlining all discovered vulnerabilities, prioritised by risk, along with clear, actionable remediation recommendations. These insights equip your organisation to address weaknesses before a real attacker can exploit them.
Why Choose Targeted Penetration Testing
Minimise the Risk of Attack
Proactively identify and remediate vulnerabilities before attackers can exploit them, significantly reducing your organisation’s exposure.
Thorough Security Assessment
A comprehensive evaluation combining automated scanning with expert manual testing to uncover both common and complex vulnerabilities.
Identify All Your Vulnerabilities
Discover weaknesses across your entire attack surface—from network infrastructure to web applications—with validated, false-positive-free results.
Prioritise Your Security Risks
Receive a risk-ranked report with clear, actionable remediation steps so you can address the most critical threats first.
Targeted Penetration Testing Questions
A targeted penetration test is a focused security assessment designed to identify and safely exploit vulnerabilities in specific systems or environments. Our ethical hackers simulate real-world attack scenarios under strict guidelines to uncover weaknesses before malicious actors do.
A vulnerability scan is an automated process that identifies potential weaknesses. A targeted penetration test goes further—our analysts validate each finding, remove false positives, and safely exploit confirmed vulnerabilities to demonstrate real-world impact and risk.
The duration depends on the scope and complexity of the target environment. A typical engagement ranges from a few days to two weeks, including scanning, manual testing, exploitation, and reporting.
Our ethical hackers operate under strict rules of engagement designed to avoid disruption. We work closely with your team to define scope boundaries and schedule testing during appropriate windows to minimise any operational impact.
You will receive a detailed report outlining all discovered vulnerabilities, prioritised by risk, along with clear, actionable remediation recommendations. We also offer a debrief session to walk your team through the findings.
