External Penetration Testing

We test everything an attacker can see from the internet and show you what is exposed.

How we work
The problem

Why this matters.

Anything reachable from the public internet is a target, and most businesses do not have a clear picture of their own external footprint.

What it is

In plain language.

A test against your internet-facing assets (servers, email, remote access, exposed services) to find what an outside attacker could exploit to get in.

Our methodology

Manual, expert-led, aligned to recognized standards.

Every engagement follows the same disciplined process. We don't run a scanner and email you a PDF.

  1. 01

    Map

    Discover your external footprint — DNS, hosts, services, exposed ports.

  2. 02

    Probe

    Identify weaknesses across the surface using manual and automated techniques.

  3. 03

    Confirm

    Safely validate what is actually exploitable, not just theoretically vulnerable.

  4. 04

    Report

    Deliver clear, ranked findings with practical fixes.

  5. 05

    Retest

    Verify remediation once you have applied the fixes.

What you get

A report your team will actually use.
