Penetration testing (pentest): Uncover your weaknesses through an attacker’s eyes
Entrust your security to ethical experts who will simulate a realistic cyberattack. Identify and fix exploitable flaws before real threats do.
Pentest: put your defenses to the test
Firewalls are configured, software is patched… but are you truly safe? A penetration test (pentest) is the only way to concretely validate your resilience by putting your defenses under the fire of a controlled attack simulation, led by our certified experts. Don’t rely on assumptions: get tangible proof of what an attacker could actually achieve.
Why an automated scan is not enough
Automated tools list potential vulnerabilities. A penetration test goes far beyond:
Simulation of a real attack
Our pentesters use the same techniques and tools as real cybercriminals (social engineering, chained vulnerability exploitation, lateral movement) to assess your response.
Discovery of complex and "Zero-Day" flaws
Identification of logic vulnerabilities, business-logic flaws, and configuration issues that escape automated scanners.
Measuring the real business impact
We don’t stop at “a flaw exists”. We show how far an attacker could go: theft of client data, shutdown of a critical system, access to the admin network.
Validation of your security controls
Does your SOC detect our activities? Do your teams respond effectively? The test evaluates your entire defense chain.
🔐 Did you know? Standards such as ISO 27001 and PCI DSS require regular penetration tests. It’s also a growing requirement from cyber insurers and serious RFPs.
- Precise scoping: Definition of business objectives, systems to test, and authorized methods.
- Choice of test type: Black box (simulating an external attacker with no internal knowledge), gray box (with limited access), or white box (with full knowledge of the architecture).
- Formal engagement agreement (rules of engagement) ensuring the legality and safety of the test.
- Information gathering on your company and its infrastructure (domains, IP addresses, technologies in use).
- Identification of potential attack vectors (web applications, VPN, employees).
- Manual research and exploitation attempts of the identified vulnerabilities.
- Use of specialized tools and advanced techniques to bypass protections.
- Meticulous documentation of every successful step.
- Assessment of the persistence an attacker could establish.
- Determination of the ultimate business impact (which data is accessible? what control can be obtained?).
- Executive Report: Summary of the main risks and business impact, intended for leadership.
- Detailed Technical Report: Precise steps to reproduce each flaw, with supporting evidence (screenshots, logs).
- Prioritized Remediation Plan: Concrete recommendations, ranked by criticality, to fix each exploited vulnerability.
- In-person debrief: Presentation of the findings and Q&A.
Process
A clear process, from planning to actionable recommendations
We follow a structured, recognized framework (such as PTES — Penetration Testing Execution Standard) to guarantee thoroughness and professionalism.
Test types
Targeted tests for every critical entry point
- Infrastructure Penetration Tests (Internal/External Network): Target servers, routers, firewalls, and other network equipment.
- Web and Mobile Application Penetration Tests: Analyze critical applications (front-office, client portals, APIs) for flaws such as SQL injection, authentication flaws, and more.
- Social Engineering Tests (Targeted Phishing): Assess your employees’ vigilance against phishing and impersonation attempts.
- Physical Tests (On Request): Assess the physical security of access to your premises and sensitive equipment.
Ethics, expertise, and a results mindset
- Certified, Experienced Experts: Our team holds recognized certifications (OSCP, GPEN, CEH) and significant field experience.
- Tailored, Contextual Approach: We adapt our tests to your unique environment — no generic checklists. We understand your business to assess real impact.
- Focus on Remediation and Improvement: Our goal isn’t to scare you with a report, but to give you the keys to improve. We offer support during the remediation phase.
