Pentesting: really put your IT security to the test

  • Simulation of a real cyberattack by ethical hackers
  • Protection against data breaches, reputational damage and financial losses
  • Clear report with concrete improvement actions

Prevent cyber attacks through targeted pentesting

Without a thorough check, you don't know where your real risks lie or how well your defence holds up under pressure. With pentesting (penetration testing or pentest), you make hidden vulnerabilities visible and receive concrete advice to strengthen your security in a targeted way. Our ethical hackers simulate realistic cyberattacks on your systems: no theoretical risks, but tangible insights that make your organisation stronger. Depending on the chosen approach, we carry out a white-box, black-box or grey-box pentest.

Advantages of a pentest

  • Enhanced security through regular vulnerability assessments.
  • Insight into weaknesses from a hacker's perspective.
  • Proactive testing before the launch of new applications.
  • Cost savings by identifying risks before damage occurs.
  • Compliance with security standards and detailed reporting.
  • Increased security awareness within your organisation.

How does a penetration test work?

  • Planning & Scoping: Determining the objectives, scope and approach of the pentest, including which systems and methodologies will be used.
  • Reconnaissance: Gathering as much information as possible about the target through active and passive methods (e.g. OSINT, vulnerability scanning) to map the attack surface.
  • Enumeration & Vulnerability Analysis: Identifying vulnerabilities through scans and analyses, such as outdated software or configuration errors.
  • Exploitation: Actively exploiting found vulnerabilities to gain access and simulate the impact of an attack.
  • Reporting & Debriefing: Delivering a report with findings and recommendations to reduce security risks.

Our pentesting scenarios

External Blackbox

Our penetration testers simulate an external attack without prior knowledge of your systems. They identify vulnerabilities like a hacker who only has access to public information. This gives you insight into external risks to your organisation.

Assumed Breach

Our pentesters gain access to your internal network, just like an attacker entering through a trusted device. They explore what they can achieve without in-depth internal knowledge, giving you insight into the risks after a successful breach.

Insider Threat

Our penetration testers gain access to your internal network with limited prior knowledge of your systems. They simulate the actions of a malicious insider and test the damage an insider with malicious intent could cause.

Threat Emulation

Our pentesters simulate targeted attack paths that are commonly used by threat actors in your sector. This helps you understand how a specific attack could unfold and which vulnerabilities may be exploited.

Social Engineering

Our pentesters test the human security awareness within your organisation. This ranges from phishing attacks to physical approaches, assessing how employees respond to attempts at manipulation.
