Infrastructure Penetration Testing
Test your network from the inside and out
We simulate real attacks on your servers, firewalls and networks to uncover exploitable weaknesses before someone else does.

Overview
Your infrastructure underpins everything
Servers, firewalls, routers, workstations and the software running on them form the backbone of your business. Outdated software, unpatched systems and misconfigurations across that estate give attackers a foothold, whether they come from outside or are already inside.
Our infrastructure penetration testing puts those defences under realistic pressure. Experienced testers attempt to exploit weaknesses in your internal and external networks just as an attacker would, so you can close the gaps first. The service is delivered in partnership with Rootshell Security, a CREST and CHECK accredited provider.
Frequency matters, but so does the quality of each test. We focus on rigorous, repeatable assessments aligned with the techniques attackers are using today.
What's included
Internal and external coverage
We assess your environment from both sides of the perimeter, with options to extend into specialist areas.
External testing
Public-facing servers, web applications, cloud assets, public APIs and open ports, assessed from an outside attacker's point of view.
Internal testing
Databases, workstations, Active Directory and intranet servers, tested as if an attacker had already gained a foothold.
Cloud and virtualisation
Assessment of cloud-hosted and virtualised infrastructure as part of a wider engagement.
Wireless testing
Coverage of your WiFi networks and wireless devices alongside your wired estate.
Software testing
Review of the software running across your infrastructure for exploitable flaws.
SCADA security
Specialist testing of SCADA and industrial control environments where required.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between internal and external testing?
External testing looks at what an outside attacker can reach using public information and access points, such as internet-facing servers and open ports. Internal testing assumes someone already has access to your network and shows how much damage they could do, which also helps you refine incident response.
How often should infrastructure testing be carried out?
At least once a year as a baseline. You should test more often after significant network changes, the introduction of new systems, or where regulatory requirements are strict.
How are the results delivered?
Rather than relying solely on a static PDF, results are available in a live dashboard where you can drill into each vulnerability, track remediation and export reports when you need them.
What qualifications do the testers hold?
Testers hold industry certifications including CREST, CHECK, The Cyber Scheme, SANS and Offensive Security qualifications, among others.
What other services complement infrastructure testing?
Infrastructure testing pairs well with web application, wireless and cloud testing, as well as red team exercises, ransomware assessments and social engineering such as phishing assessments.
