Penetration Testing
Get ahead of the hackers. Find security vulnerabilities.
A vital component of your overall cyber security posture.
Penetration Testing will allow you to identify any vulnerabilities in your network, web applications, mobile and physical security by simulating a real-world attack.
Wicresoft can help you do this through a CREST-accredited partner.
Pen testing provides valuable insights into security posture over time, making it a vital piece of a comprehensive security programme. While the benefits are vast, a few of the key advantages include:
- Identify vulnerabilities that could be exploited by an attacker
- Take control and proactively mitigate the risk of a cyber-attack
- Access real-time security updates and reports, providing the opportunity to educate colleagues
- Achieve cyber insurance compliance with Cyber Essentials certification

Frequently
Asked
Questions
What is Penetration Testing?
This assessment service is often the first port of call for an organisation to find out how vulnerable they are to attack. We will see what we can ethically attack internally as both standard and external users in order to find any holes before the hacking community. Additionally, we launch simulated phishing attacks against internal users, using a variety of simple to sophisticated emails, producing results that can be used for education purposes.
What is being tested?
Penetration testing is a planned and approved cyber-attack on a system to test its defenses. This practice allows companies to identify any vulnerabilities in networks, web applications, and both mobile and physical security, by using the techniques a real-life cyber-attacker would use.
Is my system actually being attacked?
Yes, the system is actually being attacked, but in a secure, approved manner. The penetration test works exactly like a real cyber-attack because it is a real cyber-attack. This inside view into how and where systems have vulnerabilities provides invaluable insight into how a company should pivot security measures.
How often should this be done?
Penetration testing should ideally be carried out every 6 months but can be done however often you would like.
