Penetration Testing
A penetration test challenges your defences in practice: certified specialists attempt controlled compromise of agreed systems or surfaces — with a defined scope, clear rules of engagement and full documentation of every finding. As an independent third party, we are equally happy to test what your own vendor has built. We often recommend a security assessment first, so the test can be targeted where it creates the most value.
A penetration test challenges your defences in a controlled way: certified specialists (GPEN, CEH) attempt to compromise agreed systems within a defined scope and clear rules of engagement — externally, internally or application-focused. You get documented findings with reproducible evidence, an executive summary and prioritised recommendations. Fixed price after a free pre-analysis. Unsure about sequencing? An assessment first often makes the test far more targeted.

Frequently asked questions
Should we choose a penetration test or a security assessment first?
Often the assessment first. A pentest yields findings on specific targets, while a security assessment provides an overall picture — and makes a subsequent pentest far more targeted. That was exactly the approach the digital agency Cadpeople highlighted in their testimonial — see Cases & testimonials.
Is a penetration test risky for operations?
The test is performed under controlled, agreed conditions with defined time windows and escalation paths. Operational risk is agreed and minimised up front.
What does a penetration test cost — and why isn't the price listed here?
Because no two companies — or system landscapes — are alike, and a fixed price list would be either too high for some or too vague for all. Instead, we always start with a free, no-obligation pre-analysis. After that you usually get a fixed price with no surprises — and where a fixed price isn’t possible, an estimate we stand behind and keep.
