Wireless Penetration Testing
Secure every connection across your wireless network
We identify the devices on your WiFi, uncover hidden weaknesses and safely prove which ones an attacker could use.

Overview
Wireless convenience brings wireless risk
Laptops, phones, printers and IoT devices all depend on your wireless network, and unlike a cabled network there is no physical barrier keeping outsiders away. That makes WiFi an attractive entry point for anyone looking to gain unauthorised access.
Our wireless penetration testing examines the links between every device on your network. We start by establishing which wireless assets are in scope, then look for security flaws and coverage gaps, safely exploiting them so you can fix problems before they are abused. The service is delivered in partnership with Rootshell Security, a CREST and CHECK accredited provider.
You come away with a clear inventory of connected devices, a view of anything that should not be there, and practical steps to strengthen access control.
What's included
What we test
Our assessment looks beyond the access point to everything that talks wirelessly in your environment.
WiFi networks
ESSID configuration, encryption strength and access controls across your wireless LAN.
Rogue access points
Detection of unauthorised or imitation access points set up to impersonate your legitimate network.
Encryption weaknesses
Identification of outdated or weak protocols such as WEP, WPA, or WPA2 with TKIP.
Printers and scanners
Checks for unsecured interfaces, default credentials and open ports on wireless office equipment.
Peripherals and Bluetooth
Assessment of wireless keyboards, mice and Bluetooth devices for unauthorised pairing and data interception.
Segmentation and monitoring
Review of network segmentation, default passwords and the adequacy of logging and monitoring.
How it works
Our wireless testing approach
-
Scoping
We work with you to identify every connected asset that should be included in the test.
-
Reconnaissance
Testers gather information about your wireless environment, its configuration and its coverage.
-
Discovery
We pinpoint the weaknesses an attacker could realistically take advantage of.
-
Exploitation
Vulnerabilities are exploited in a controlled way designed to avoid disrupting your operations.
-
Reporting and remediation
You receive drillable, real-time results alongside actionable guidance to improve your security posture.
Benefits
Why test your wireless network
Full device visibility
A risk-based view of every asset connected to your network gives you better oversight and control.
Tighter access management
Find out whether credentials and data could be reached by unauthorised users and strengthen authentication accordingly.
Compliance alignment
Demonstrate that your wireless communications follow best practice and meet regulatory expectations.
Confidence with new technology
Regular testing helps you adopt newer standards such as WiFi 6 and 5G without introducing new weaknesses.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the goal of a wireless penetration test?
The aim is to uncover weaknesses in your wireless infrastructure, such as weak encryption, misconfigured access points or devices left on default settings. We then recommend specific improvements to close those gaps.
What will the report include?
You receive a list of the in-scope wireless devices, any potentially rogue or unknown devices flagged for further investigation, and the security issues and coverage gaps we identified, together with remediation advice.
How long does wireless testing take?
Engagements usually run from a few days to a couple of weeks. The duration depends on the size and complexity of your network, the agreed scope and your objectives.
How often should we test our wireless network?
Wireless security benefits from an ongoing mix of testing and scanning rather than a one-off check. You should also retest after major infrastructure changes, new access points, changes to encryption or a security incident.
Can wireless testing be combined with other services?
Yes. Wireless testing can be bundled with wider penetration testing and attack surface management, as well as services such as phishing assessments, red teaming and AI penetration testing.
