Penetration Testing

Identity the threats inherent in networks, cloud environments and applications

Proactively Identify & Eliminate Threats

Penetration testing, also known as pen testing, is a form of cyber security assessment directed at identifying vulnerabilities in networks and other computer systems. The idea of penetration testing is to find and exploit these weaknesses safely, allowing businesses to strengthen these areas before any malicious actors can discover them, too.

Pen testing can be applied to IT systems, applications and websites to mimic the actions of a real cyber security breach. That’s why it makes it so effective at finding the areas where systems may be vulnerable, as it replicates the conditions and actions of a genuine attack more ethically.

At ToraGuard, our cyber security experts use penetration testing to help organisations understand where their systems need improvement and mitigate risks.

Types Of Penetration Testing Offered

Penetration testing – like real cyber attacks or data breaches – takes various forms. Our pen testing services align with typical system attack vectors to provide an accurate simulation of real cyber incidents:

External Network Testing

External penetration testing tests if access can be gained from outside of your network and what systems and data can be accessed. Testing will assess network security perimeters (such as firewalls and other access prevention systems), as well as the exposure of sensitive data through misconfigured services or open ports.

Internal Network testing

Internal network penetration testing starts with limited access to a network and then attempts to identify and exploit wider systems access and security vulnerabilities. If the testing shows that secure data can be compromised, it could be replicated during a real attack. This highlights clear areas where businesses must address their cyber security.

Cloud Penetration Testing

Cloud plays an important part in most business IT setups. But configuration can vary. Cloud penetration services will test public cloud environments such as Microsoft Azure and AWS and private cloud setups to identify weaknesses. Pen testing can find weaknesses or errors in the configuration, gaps in access management security and gaps in software interfaces.

Web Application Testing

Applications play a vital role in modern business but can vary widely in the quality. Web application penetration testing can identify the ways that hackers would gain entry to the system, including through SQL injection, cross-site scripting and issues around secure data transmission.

What Are The Benefits Of Penetration Testing

Risk Mitigation

By identifying vulnerabilities, penetration testing allows businesses to prioritise and address security gaps. This proactive approach reduces the risk of data breaches, financial losses, and reputational damage.

Compliance Assurance

Many industry regulations and standards, such as GDPR, PCI DSS, and ISO 27001, require regular penetration testing as part of their compliance frameworks. Conducting these tests helps organisations meet regulatory requirements and avoid potential fines or legal complications.

Enhancing Incident Response

Penetration testing services can serve as a test for internal security teams. No system is 100% secure, so by understanding if or how a breach could occur security teams can refine their defences and response strategies. In turn this can improve the ability to detect, respond to, and recover from actual security incidents.

Protecting Trust & Brand Reputation

A successful cyberattack can severely damage an organisation's reputation and erode customer trust. Regular penetration testing demonstrates a commitment to security, reassuring customers and stakeholders that the organisation is taking active steps to protect sensitive data and maintain business integrity.

Why Work With ToraGuard For Penetration Testing?

Cyber threats are constantly evolving and developing, so we recommend penetration testing at least once a year.

However, this should be more frequent when certain conditions apply, such as when significant changes are made to infrastructure, new services are being launched, during mergers and acquisitions and generally when any large-scale changes take place in the business.

As a leading penetration testing company, ToraGuard uses ethical penetration testing techniques to help businesses identify and understand where they may be at risk.
