Bug Bounty Program
Maximise your security with our tailored Bug Bounty platform and only pay when vulnerabilities are unearthed.
Regulatory Compliance Testing
Ensure compliance and secure critical systems with testing services that meet regulatory standards such as GBEST and CBEST.
Blockchain Testing Services
Blockchain technology is a decentralised and distributed ledger system that enables secure and transparent record-keeping of transactions across a network of computers. All components can and need to be tested for security vulnerabilities. Depending on what needs to be tested, different methodologies apply.
Our testing methodologies cover everything from static code analysis to fuzzing and infrastructure security assessments, ensuring vulnerabilities are identified and addressed. Deliverables include comprehensive reports with detailed findings and remediation guidance, accompanied by ongoing communication with developers to support the resolution of identified issues and optional retesting to confirm fixes.
We stand out for our extensive experience, notably in source code review and application testing, a proficiency that is seamlessly extended to blockchain technologies.
Network Penetration Testing Services
In a network penetration test, your network infrastructure is security tested using a variety of techniques from several vantage points, both external and internal. We test connected network devices including servers, laptops, storage drives, printers, network appliances, and even your web applications.
We look at how those components operate and communicate, who has access to them, and more. From this, we will be able to determine the security posture of those assets, as well as your network. We will determine where the most important vulnerabilities exist, which ones are most likely to be exploited by threat actors, and what actions should be taken to remediate these risks.
IoT Testing Services
The proliferation of connected devices has made the Internet of Things (IoT) a prime target for cyber threats, particularly for building botnets used in large-scale Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks.
We offer extensive IoT testing services to evaluate and ensure the security of smart devices across various sectors, including domestic, industrial, and automotive applications.
IoT security testing is crucial for any device that connects to a network, especially those designed for easy, 'plug and play' use, as these often have suboptimal security configurations.
Our expert testing focuses on the full attack surface, including hardware, firmware, applications, networks, and encryption, providing you with high-level management reports and detailed technical findings to improve device security. This thorough approach ensures that connected devices are secure against emerging threats.
External Infrastructure Penetration Testing
External Infrastructure Penetration Testing aims to assess the security of your external-facing systems, networks, and applications. This includes anything accessible from outside your internal network.
By conducting external infrastructure penetration testing, organisations can identify and address security weaknesses before they are exploited by malicious actors, thereby reducing the risk of data breaches, financial losses, and damage to reputation.
ASV Scanning
Approved Scanning Vendor (ASV) services are crucial for organisations handling payment card data, as they ensure compliance with the PCI Data Security Standard (DSS) by conducting quarterly external vulnerability scans. These scans identify potential security vulnerabilities, such as malware and breaches, within your Cardholder Data Environment.
We offer comprehensive scanning services aligned with PCI DSS requirements to help safeguard your data. Our ASV services go beyond standard automated scans by manually validating vulnerabilities to eliminate false positives and providing real-world remediation advice. Our team of qualified ASV professionals manages and schedules all quarterly scans, working closely with your security team to ensure ongoing PCI compliance and to address any issues swiftly and effectively.
Firewall Security Testing Services
Firewall security testing is essential for assessing the security and configuration of your organisation's firewall, which acts as the primary defence between your internal systems and the internet. As firewalls have evolved to include functionalities like VPNs, DLP filtering, and HTTP proxying, they also present new risks and vulnerabilities.
Our expert firewall testers conduct thorough assessments of your firewall's rule base, published services, and security protocols to identify and mitigate potential threats.
In addition to testing, we perform comprehensive firewall protection security audits, comparing your firewall’s configurations against industry best practices. This involves identifying weak protocols, insecure rules, and data leakage risks using advanced tools and scripts.
Active Directory
Most enterprise networks are managed by Windows Active Directory and store sensitive data. An attack that successfully compromised Active Directory would have significant ramifications for any organisation.
Our team of CREST-certified internal penetration testers review the configuration of your Active Directory to identify any insecure practices or attack vectors that could be exploited by a malicious agent.
Hybrid Testing
A hybrid environment is the term used when Microsoft Azure AD is incorporated into existing on-premises Active Directory. A compromise of on-premises Active Directory could lead to the compromise of Azure AD and vice-versa.
Our experts assess the configuration of your Azure AD and Active Directory looking for misconfigurations that could be exploited by an attacker. Focus is placed on attack paths that could lead to the compromise of Azure AD Connect, a high-value target with high privileges both on-premises and within the cloud.
Wireless Device Penetration Testing
We offer expert wireless device testing as a key component of internal onsite penetration tests, specialising in assessments against common 802.11 (WIFI) protocols.
Our testing covers both infrastructure and client devices, simulating real-world attacks to identify vulnerabilities. Our methodology includes on-site assessments for accurate threat simulation, focusing on various wireless environments such as unencrypted WLANs, WEP, WPA/WPA2, LEAP, and 802.1X networks. Additionally, we consider the risks posed by home wireless setups that might affect corporate security, offering adaptable, consultancy-driven tests to manage your WIFI security risks effectively.
The world leader in CREST accreditations
We are proud to be the only organisation in the world with a full suite of CREST accreditations. (CREST – The Council of Registered Ethical Security Testers). Our team of consultants have achieved the highest accreditations for Penetration Testing, Red Teaming, Incident Response services and Threat Intelligence. In addition, we were also the first organisation to be CREST accredited for our Security Operation Centre services.
