Hardening & Penetration Testing

We provide your business Penetration Testing services intended to assess ICT infrastructure security through continuous or one-time evaluations, identifying vulnerabilities and strengthening defenses. 

 

Testing approaches include black box testing (minimal knowledge), grey box testing (partial knowledge), and white box testing (full knowledge) assessments. 


The process follows five key stages: Scoping, Reconnaissance, Scanning, Exploitation, and Reporting, with a detailed analysis of risks and remediation recommendations to enhance overall security.

​

Our Cyber Security Experts conduct Hardening reviews intended to enhance your security posture by identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities across key areas in line with best practices and guidelines such as CIS benchmarks and NIST frameworks. 


Server hardening ensures configurations are optimised, while endpoint security assessments evaluate workstations, servers, and mobile devices. Network infrastructure hardening secures routers, switches, firewalls, and Wi-Fi networks by addressing misconfigurations and weak points. Additionally, Physical security reviews inspect access controls and surveillance measures to prevent unauthorised access.
