Our Network Penetration Testing Process

Our methodology mirrors the steps a real attacker would take, from probing exposed services to escalating inside your environment.

Pre-Engagement & Scoping
Define rules of engagement, testing boundaries, and goals.
Reconnaissance
Identify exposed systems, open ports, and potential vulnerabilities.
Vulnerability Analysis
Analyze assets for weak configurations, outdated software, or exploitable services.
Exploitation
Attempt exploitation to demonstrate impact (unauthorized access, privilege escalation, etc.).
Post-Exploitation
Assess lateral movement potential and access to sensitive data.
Reporting & Debrief
Provide detailed findings, risk ratings, remediation guidance, and optional debrief sessions.

Types of Network Penetration Testing

External Network Testing
Assess internet-facing assets like firewalls, VPNs, and exposed services.
Internal Network Testing
Simulate a compromised device or insider threat to test your internal posture.
Wireless Testing
Evaluate wireless networks for weak encryption, misconfiguration, or rogue access points.
Social Engineering
Test staff readiness with phishing or pretexting campaigns.
