What is Penetration Testing?

Penetration testing services (also known as pen testing services) are simulated cyberattacks designed to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in your organization’s digital infrastructure. These tests uncover weak points in your security before malicious actors can take advantage, ensuring your systems are fortified against real-world threats.

At TrustedSec, we combine industry-leading tools, methodologies, and expertise to provide a thorough, real-world assessment of your security posture.

What Does a Penetration Test Involve?

Our pen testing services involve a systematic, real-world evaluation of your organization's security by simulating cyberattacks to uncover and address vulnerabilities before attackers exploit them. Your test will include:

  1. Discovery & Scoping: We work with your team to understand your environment, business goals, and compliance needs. This ensures the penetration test is tailored to your unique requirements.
  2. Reconnaissance: We gather information about your systems, networks, and applications to uncover potential attack vectors.
  3. Vulnerability Identification: Using advanced tools and manual techniques, our experts identify vulnerabilities in your environment.
  4. Exploitation: We simulate real-world attacks to test whether vulnerabilities can be exploited. This includes attempts to access sensitive data, escalate privileges, or disrupt operations.
  5. Reporting & Recommendations: Receive a comprehensive report detailing findings, risk levels, and actionable recommendations. Our team will walk you through the results, ensuring you understand the path to improved security.
  6. Validation Testing: After you’ve addressed identified vulnerabilities, we retest to confirm they’ve been successfully mitigated.
