Security Audits & Penetration Testing

If your application or infrastructure has never been tested by someone trying to break it, you don't actually know how secure it is. We test your existing systems the way an attacker would, then give you a clear, prioritised list of what to fix and why it matters.

We work with teams across Birmingham, Manchester, and the UK who want an honest assessment of their security posture, whether that's ahead of a client request, a new launch, or just peace of mind.

Scope

What's included

  • Web application and API penetration testing
  • Infrastructure and network security reviews
  • Vulnerability assessment and risk prioritisation
  • Configuration and access-control reviews
  • Clear, prioritised remediation guidance, not just a list of findings

Process

How it works

  1. 1

    Scope

    We agree exactly what's in scope, what isn't, and get authorisation in writing before any testing begins.

  2. 2

    Test

    We probe your application, infrastructure, and access controls for weaknesses the way an attacker actually would.

  3. 3

    Report

    A clear, prioritised report: what we found, how severe it is, and what to fix first, written for both technical and non-technical readers.

  4. 4

    Re-test

    Once you've addressed the findings, we verify the fixes actually closed the gap.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Will testing disrupt our live systems?

We agree scope and timing upfront specifically to avoid disrupting live systems, and can test against a staging environment where one's available.

What's the difference between a vulnerability scan and a penetration test?

A scan checks for known issues automatically. A penetration test actively tries to exploit weaknesses the way a real attacker would, which catches issues automated scans miss.

Do you offer a re-test after we've fixed the issues?

Yes, re-testing is part of the process so you can confirm the fixes actually closed the gap, not just that they look fixed.

Is testing authorised and documented?

Yes. We agree scope and get written authorisation before any testing begins, so there's a clear record of what was tested and when.
