Penetration Testing
A penetration test proves 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. We often recommend a security assessment first, so the test can be targeted where it creates the most value.
What the review covers
- Scope and targets defined together with you — external, internal or application-focused
- Clear rules of engagement, time windows and escalation paths
- Controlled exploitation of identified vulnerabilities within the agreed frame
- Every finding documented with reproducible evidence
What you get
- Report with findings, risk assessment and prioritised recommendations
- Executive summary for leadership
- Walkthrough with your technical team
Out of scope
- Performed only under written agreement and a defined scope
- Not a replacement for a broad security assessment — a pentest yields point-in-time findings
How it works
Scope & rules
Targets, time windows, escalation paths and a written agreement — nothing is tested without a clear frame.
Controlled testing
Certified specialists attempt to compromise the agreed systems within the frame.
Documentation
Every finding is documented with reproducible evidence and a risk assessment.
Report & walkthrough
An executive summary for leadership, a technical walkthrough with your team and prioritised recommendations.
Frequently asked questions
Should we choose a penetration test or a security assessment first?
Often the assessment first. A pentest yields point-in-time findings, while a security assessment provides an overall picture — and makes a subsequent pentest far more targeted. That was exactly the recommendation Cadpeople highlighted in their review of us.
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.
