External & internal network penetration testing

Find out what an attacker could reach from the internet and from inside your network, before they do.

The problem

You have invested in security controls, but you have never seen how they hold up against a real attempt.

A customer, insurer or board is asking for independent evidence of your exposure.

What’s included

  • Scoping and written authorisation
  • External perimeter testing
  • Internal network testing
  • Active Directory and lateral movement testing, if in scope
  • Risk-rated report
  • Debrief with your technical team

Deliverables

  • Rules of engagement document
  • Executive summary
  • Technical report with evidence and remediation guidance
  • Debrief session

How it works

  1. Assess & understand

    We agree targets, limits and test windows, and you sign the authorisation.

  2. Design & plan

    We map the exposed services and plan the test against your scope.

  3. Implement & configure

    We test within the rules of engagement and alert you to critical issues quickly.

  4. Test & handover

    We deliver the report, walk through the findings and agree next steps.

Frequently asked questions

Do we need to tell our IT team?

That is your decision. The rules of engagement record who knows about the test and how we reach them.

What happens if you find something critical?

We contact your nominated person straight away rather than waiting for the final report.

How do you test the internal network remotely?

Usually through a small testing device or virtual machine placed on your network, removed at the end of the test.
