Frequently Asked Questions

Why do i need a penetration test?

In a constantly evolving technological age we are placing ever more valuable information assets online. To avoid reputational/financial damage, companies must ensure that their assets are protected from threat actors.

We provide a thorough assessment that aims to find all potential avenues an attacker may utilise to gain unauthorised access to a system, we then produce a concise report that enables our client to fix any outstanding issues.

We have a regular penetration test provider, why should we change?

It is beneficial for companies to cycle their penetration testing services to ensure they are not only getting the service they deserve, but also benefiting from a fresh approach and unique set of eyes.

How long does penetration testing take?

Penetration testing services can vary in duration based on several factors. Typically, the actual testing phase lasts between one to two weeks. However, when considering the entire engagement, which includes initial planning, execution, and the final report delivery, it can span four to six weeks. Due to our streamlined services we are able to release reports shortly after completion of the testing part of the security assessment.

How do you ensure the confidentiality of my data during penetration testing?

The confidentiality of data is paramount during penetration testing services. Testers exercise discretion when accessing data, ensuring they only retrieve what's necessary for the test. Data transmission and storage are secured using robust encryption methods, ensuring that any data accessed remains confidential and protected. Moreover, a strict retention and destruction policy is in place, ensuring that data is promptly deleted once it's no longer needed, further safeguarding client information.

How often should we have a penetration test?

This is a question that depends on many factors such as how large the environment, budget factors and
the frequency for which environmental changes are made. As a general rule of thumb, an organisation should ensure that penetration tests are carried out annually at a minimum or when functional changes are made to the environment.

Would I need a penetration test if my data is stored in the cloud?

Platform As a Service (PAAS) environments offer a good level of protection from the networking side, however this will not extend to web applications hosted on the environment. Software, particularly when bespoke can pose many critical vulnerabilities when left untested.
