Our Team can provide a full and comprehensive range of Penetration Testing Services (including CREST Accredited Penetration Testing):

Black Box Testing

Testers have no prior knowledge of the target environment, simulating an external attacker. 

White Box Testing

Testers have full knowledge of the target environment, including systems, configurations, and access levels, simulating an internal attacker with high privileges. 

Grey Box Testing

Testers have limited knowledge of the target environment, simulating an attacker with some level of access or insider knowledge. 

External Penetration Testing

Evaluates the security of internet-facing systems, assessing vulnerabilities exploitable by remote attackers. 

Internal Penetration Testing

Simulates attacks from within the organization's network, assessing risks from malicious insiders. 

Segmentation Validation

Tests the effectiveness of network segmentation controls in isolating the Cardholder Data Environment (CDE). 

Application-layer and Network-layer Assessments

These are required to be included in PCI DSS penetration tests. 

Social Engineering Tests

Focus on manipulating human weaknesses to gain access to systems or information. 

Red Team Testing

Focuses on finding a single entry point, exploiting it, and moving laterally through your systems to access sensitive data undetected.

PCI DSS also emphasizes the importance of vulnerability scanning, which is a separate but complementary process to penetration testing. 

Vulnerability scanning identifies potential weaknesses, while penetration testing attempts to exploit those weaknesses to assess their impact.
