Find exploitable vulnerabilities before an attacker does.

Manual, CREST-accredited testing across your full attack surface. Web applications, networks, cloud environments, social engineering — every finding verified with a working proof of concept and a clear statement of business impact.

Real exploitability, not scanner output.

Every finding in our reports includes a verified proof of concept, a clear exploitation chain, and a business risk statement your board can read. No scanner dumps. No unverified theoretical vulnerabilities. We only report what we confirmed we can exploit — which means your team remediates what actually matters.

Every attack surface — tested as an attacker would.

  1. 01

    Web applications

    OWASP Top 10 and beyond. Authentication, session management, business logic flaws, API security, and server-side vulnerabilities. We test what automated scanners miss.

  2. 02

    Network infrastructure

    Internal and external network testing. Perimeter security, lateral movement paths, Active Directory misconfigurations, and privilege escalation chains from unprivileged access to domain admin.

  3. 03

    Cloud environments

    AWS, Azure, and GCP configuration review. IAM privilege analysis, exposed storage, misconfigured services, and attack paths specific to cloud-hosted environments.

  4. 04

    Social engineering

    AI-assisted phishing campaigns, vishing, and pretexting scenarios. We measure what security controls alone cannot — how your people respond under realistic pressure.

  5. 05

    Mobile applications

    iOS and Android application security. Binary analysis, insecure data storage, transport security, authentication flaws, and backend API exposure.

  6. 06

    Physical security

    On-site testing of physical access controls, tailgating vulnerabilities, and physical-to-digital attack paths for organisations with high physical security requirements.

Common questions

What buyers ask before commissioning a test.

What is a penetration testing service?
A penetration testing service is an offensive security assessment in which experts simulate real attacks against your systems to identify exploitable vulnerabilities before an attacker does. Unlike automated scanners, professional penetration testing includes manual exploitation, a verified proof of concept, and a business impact report.
How much does it cost to commission a penetration test?
The cost varies with scope, attack surface and the depth of the test. A web application test for an SME may start in the low thousands of euros; a full infrastructure test or a red team exercise for a regulated organisation can exceed €20,000. The price reflects the depth of manual analysis, not how long a scanner runs.
How long does a penetration test take?
A typical web application penetration test takes between 5 and 10 working days. An internal infrastructure test may require 1 to 3 weeks. Red team exercises can span 4 to 8 weeks. The timeline depends on the size and complexity of the agreed scope.
What is the difference between a penetration test and a red team?
A penetration test systematically evaluates vulnerabilities within a defined scope and a fixed timeframe. A red team simulates a real adversary with specific business objectives, without a predefined scope, over an extended period. Red teaming measures the defenders' detection and response capability; a pentest measures the vulnerability surface.
Is penetration testing required under NIS2?
The NIS2 Directive (in force since October 2024) requires essential and important organisations to carry out regular security testing, including vulnerability assessments and penetration tests, as part of their risk management. Sectors such as energy, transport, healthcare, banking and digital infrastructure have an explicit obligation to demonstrate technical resilience.
