Network Penetration Testing
Manual testing that shows what an attacker could reach inside your network
Overview
Beyond the Vulnerability Scan
Scanners find known weaknesses. They do not show how an attacker would chain them together, escalate privileges and move towards your critical systems. Our network penetration testers do, and we turn the results into priorities that decision-makers can act on.

Approach
Our Network Penetration Testing Process
Scoping & Onboarding
We agree objectives, success criteria and the attack surface with your networking team, then set up access within your security policies.
Testing
Vulnerability scanning followed by manual testing, including privilege escalation and lateral movement towards critical assets, carried out with care to avoid disruption.
Reporting
An executive summary for decision-makers and a technical report with clear remediation steps for your networking team.
Revalidation
We retest remediated areas to confirm that all security improvements are effective and no new vulnerabilities have emerged. You get an updated report showing what has been fixed.
What you receive
- An executive summary for decision-makers
- A technical report with remediation steps for your networking team
- A retest of remediated areas, with an updated report
Common questions
How is this different from a network vulnerability assessment?
It goes further. An assessment finds and verifies weaknesses across the network; a penetration test chains them, through privilege escalation and lateral movement, towards your critical systems.
Will testing take systems down?
It is carried out with care to avoid disruption, inside access we agree with your networking team and your security policies.
