Our penetration testing services

Penetration testing (pen testing) is the practice of assessing and evaluating a computer system, network, wireless network or web application to expose vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.

Make it even harder for cyber criminals to succeed

Most organisations are the target of random, indiscriminate attacks, and they need an appropriate level of penetration testing to ensure their defences are adequate. Instead of automatically generated reports from tools that offer generic remediation tips, you need advice from experts who can rank and rate the vulnerabilities so that you can plan remediation in accordance with the risk and your budget.

 

Our penetration testing solutions

Our experienced CREST-accredited consultants assess your data security by applying robust methodologies to deliver a realistic appraisal of the current state of your security and the risks that attackers pose to your business.

Delivered exactly as you need it

Information security firms that peddle a no-holds-barred approach to testing and go after everything waste precious time and money. At IT Governance, we offer two levels of penetration test to meet your budget and technical requirements.

LEVEL 1	LEVEL 2
Identifies the vulnerabilities that leave your IT exposed. Combining a series of manual assessments with automated scans, our team will assess the true extent of your system or network’s vulnerabilities, allowing you to evaluate your security posture and make more accurate budgetary decisions	Involves attempting to exploit the identified vulnerabilities to see whether it is possible to access your assets and resources. This more thorough assessment of your security posture enables you to make more accurate decisions about investing in securing your business-critical systems.

Advantages of penetration tests

• Accurately evaluate your organisation’s ability to protect its networks, applications, endpoints and users from determined attackers.

• Communicate and prove the need for a security budget with business managers and non-tech folk.

• Get detailed information on actual, exploitable security threats to identify which vulnerabilities are more critical, which are less significant and which are false positives.

• Protect your company’s profits and reputation by avoiding the financial costs and negative publicity associated with a compromise of your systems.

• More intelligently prioritise remediation, apply necessary security patches and allocate security resources more effectively to ensure they are available when and where they are needed most.

• Address the general auditing aspects of regulations – such as the NYDFS Cybersecurity Requirements, the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), ISO 27001 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) – and avoid significant fines for non-compliance.
