Our Penetration testing process was created in accordance with several internationally accepted frameworks/standards
The role of these standards is to harmonize and provides users of the report with standardization. For instance, using OWASP references in the report, you can measure the risk associated to Top 10 OWASP attack vectors
Penetration testing is a controlled, ethical hacking process that simulates real-world cyberattacks to identify and assess vulnerabilities in your systems, networks, or applications.
While a vulnerability scan identifies known issues using automated tools, a penetration test takes it a step further by manually exploiting vulnerabilities to assess their real-world impact and exploitability.
Our testing is designed to be non-disruptive. We plan around your availability and conduct tests during approved windows. We also offer testing in staging environments when appropriate.
Absolutely. All engagements are governed by a strict non-disclosure agreement (NDA), and results are shared only with authorized contacts you designate.
We recommend at least once a year, or after major updates to your applications, infrastructure, or security controls.
Yes. Regulatory frameworks such as PCI DSS, SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and others either mandate or strongly recommend regular penetration testing. Some like PCI DSS mandate both vulnerability scanning and penetration testing. For others like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, GDPR, TISAX, HITRUST, it is a risk-based requirement. For example, if you host a web application that performs any kind of business transaction and the application is in your scope, each of these standards mandates a penetration test.
Standards like Penetration Testing Execution Standard (PTES) provide a structured methodology that governs how a penetration test should be conducted, from initial scoping to final reporting.
For example, PTES outlines seven distinct phases—pre-engagement, intelligence gathering, threat modeling, vulnerability analysis, exploitation, post-exploitation, and reporting. This ensures that the test is comprehensive and repeatable.
