Penetration Testing

Professional Penetration Testing
for Growing Businesses.

OSCP-certified penetration testing that exposes real vulnerabilities before attackers do. Compliance-ready assessments starting at $1,500 with results in 5 business days.

What is a Penetration Test?

A comprehensive security assessment that simulates real-world attacks to find exploitable vulnerabilities before malicious actors do.

A penetration test is a controlled, authorized security assessment where our OSCP-certified professionals attempt to breach your infrastructure, applications, and networks using the same techniques and tools actual attackers employ. Unlike automated vulnerability scanners that identify theoretical risks, penetration testing demonstrates real-world impact and provides context-specific remediation guidance.

We go beyond finding vulnerabilities—we prove they can be exploited, chain them together to simulate advanced attacks, and help your team understand business risk. Our reports focus on what matters: severity, exploitability, and practical remediation steps.
